MaxAntenna
9800 | 9780 | 8780 | 9640 | 9774
To determine the maximum addressible antenna port of the reader, use the
get
MaxAntenna
command. Antenna ports are numbered starting at zero, so the
actual number of ports is one more than the MaxAntenna value. A reader with
four antenna ports returns a MaxAntenna of 3. Similarly, a reader with only two
antenna ports returns a MaxAntenna of 1.
This command is not available when AutoMode is on. The reader
responds with "Error 27: Invalid context. Command cannot be issued
while AutoMode is ON".

AntennaSequence
9800 | 9780 | 8780 | 9640 | 9774
The reader can support the use of multiple antennas. This command allows the
user to select which antenna port(s) to use and in what sequence.
If using only one antenna
, you will assign just one antenna port
number.
To instruct the reader to cycle through the antenna list
during tag
reads, enter the port designations for all antennas to be used and the
order in which they should be used.
Multiple antennas
are specified by passing in a comma-separated list
as the argument. The default AntennaSequence is 0.
This command is not available when AutoMode is on. The reader
responds with "Error 27: Invalid context. Command cannot be issued
while AutoMode is ON".
Multi-Static antenna
readers, such as the ALR-9800 and newer ALR-
8780 readers pair up two antennas as send/receive pairs - #0 and #1
form one antenna pair, and #2 and #3 form another pair. In these cases,
