See the

provides an easy way to store and restore
settings in the module.
Set the Duty Cycle for Continuous Reading
The module can control the duty cycle, allowing the host less interaction with the module and permitting
greater control under Autonomous Operation. The
supports duty cycle
control, to complement support in emerging versions of module firmware. This allows the module firmware
to control duty cycle to save battery life and reduce temperature rise.
Change Settings During Continuous Reading
A subset of available settings can be changed while the reader is actively reading. This allows the host to
optimize settings on-the-fly. Settings that are supported during continuous reading are:
•
Global TX Read Power
•
Global TX Write Power
•
Gen2 BLF
•
Gen2 TARI
•
Gen2 Encoding (“M” value)
•
Gen2 Q
•
Gen2 Session
•
Gen2 Target
•
GPO line state (and learn the value of GPI lines).
NOTE: You cannot change the sense of a line (i.e., input to output) during continuous reading.
No special command is needed to set parameters during continuous reading. The API will automatically
send the correct command to the module based on its knowledge of the state the module is in.
Universal Reader Assistant can change settings during continuous reading. Any settings in the “Display
Gen2 Settings” category can be altered, as well as the global read and write power levels (although write
power is of limited use since the “write” tag operation cannot be specified under continuous reading in the
Universal Reader Assistant).
