Command: Continuous mode
NOTE
Continuous mode is only available in HF applications for single-tag applications. The
repeated reading of the same tag is edge-triggered.
In Continuous mode, a user-defined command is sent to the read/write head and saved in the
read/write head. With HF the following commands can be set in the parameters:
Write
,
Read
,
Inventory
,
Tag info
. With UHF the commands
Write
,
Read
and
Inventory
can be executed in
Continuous mode. With UHF applications the parameters for Continuous mode must be set via
the DTM directly in the read/write head.
The command is continuously executed until the user terminates Continuous mode. Continu-
ous mode can be terminated with a reset command.
NOTE
The Reset command resets all read data.
Read/write heads in Continuous mode send all command related data to the interface. The
data is stored in the FIFO memory of the interface and can be queried by the controller via the
Get data from buffer
command.
Commands in Continuous mode are triggered if the read/write head detects a tag. If there is a
tag in the detection range of the read/write head when Continuous mode is started, the com-
mand sent in Continuous mode is executed with the next tag.
NOTE
In Continuous mode the
Tag in detection range
signal is not updated.
Start address and length cannot be changed during the execution of Continuous
mode.
After Continuous mode is restarted, all data of the already running Continuous
mode is deleted.
