Open file
"ActionlistAc-
tions.xml"

②
Reload file
"ActionlistAc-
tions.xml"
reloads the action list; it is necessary to reload the action list after a new action has been added
to the XML file containing the actions or some changes have been made in it
The ReaderStart creates a directory in which the system variables are stored in the folder
%userprofile%\Documents\KATH-
REIN Solutions GmbH\ReaderStart v3
. It is possible to edit the
ActionlistActions.xml
file manually using a text editor.

To see the individual actions, refer to the
Configur
ation Protocol
.
The approximately 150 reader commands with corresponding variance of the parameters do not allow for a uniform list.
A selection of all options is extensive. Therefore, it is recommended to only list commands required in the application.
The following example demonstrates the syntax of the actions:
<ActionlistActions>
<!--Activate buzzer for 500 ms, CommandID: 0x0045, Parameter: 0x01F4-->
<Action>
<Description>Activate buzzer (500 ms)</Description>
<CommandID>0045</CommandID>
<!--LSB first-->
<Parameter>F4</Parameter>
<Parameter>01</Parameter>
</Action>
