1.3.3
Data Conversion
TIRIS Read Only transponders can be split into two groups with regard to their num-
bering system. These two groups are Animal Code numbers (according to ISO
11784/11785) described in section 1.3.3.2 and Industrial (non-Animal) numbers de-
scribed in section 1.3.3.1.
Read/Write and Multipage Transponders are not affected by the ISO 11784/11785
and are therefore only for use with the Industrial numbering.
1.3.3.1
TIRIS Industrial Format
In the default decimal output format, when the most significant bit of the RO Tran-
sponder ID is 0 or for a R/W or Multipage Transponder, the 12 most significant bits
of the 64-bit identification number are converted into a 4-digit decimal application
code (0000 to 4095). The least significant 52 bits of the identification number are con-
verted into a 16-digit decimal identification code (0000000000000000 to
4503599627370495).

For information about changing the output format to hexadecimal, see section 2.3.2
"FORMAT command".
1.3.3.2
TIRIS Animal Format
In decimal output format and when the most significant bit of a RO Transponder ID
is 1 (Animal coded Transponder ID), the 64 bits of the ID are split into five fields, de-
scribed by means of an ID example below. An 'A' is always sent within the response
string to indicate "Animal", instead of the 'R' to indicate a RO Transponder using the
Industrial numbering.
