Functionality of the Mercury6e
Regulatory Support
Supported Regions
The M6e has differing levels of support for operation and use under the laws and
guidelines of several regions. The regional support is shown in the following table.
The regional functionality is set using the MercuryAPI. Setting the region of operation
configures the regional default settings including:
Loads the
Frequency Hop Table
with the appropriate table for the selected region.
Sets the PLL
Frequency Setting
to the first entry in the hop table, even if the RF is off.
Selects the transmit filter, if applicable.
Frequency Setting
The modules have a PLL synthesizer that sets the modulation frequency to the desired
value. Whenever the frequency is changed, the module must first power off the
modulation, change the frequency, and then turn on the modulation again. Since this can
take several milliseconds, it is possible that tags are powered off during a frequency hop.
In addition to setting the default regional settings, the M6e has commands that allow the
transmit frequency to be set manually.
