Configuration Commands and Responses
This chapter describes the MPI 6000 interface commands that are used
to configure the reader.
Configuring the MPI 6000
MPI 6000 Readers have been preconfigured for most needed operations. Parameters
such as attenuation, step-lock settings, and tag command sequences are set when the
reader powers up. The Set Frequency command is the only required configuration
command. You must issue this command before the MPI 6000 Reader can read tags.
Required Commands to Set Up MPI 6000 Reader
This section describes the configuration commands that are used to set up the MPI
6000.
Set Frequency
This section describes the Set Frequency command that is used to set the MPI 6000
frequency.
Figure 7-1 shows the command transaction process. Table 7-1 lists the Set
Frequency command data.
Figure 7-1 Set Frequency Command Process
This command sets the A Counter and B Counter least significant bits (LSB) for the
specified source.
