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.
