8.5.4.4 rfon - Reading time
Command
rfon value
Function
Check (no value) or change the read time in ms (milliseconds).
Description
The reading time is equivalent to the time when the reader transmits RF power to its
antenna in an attempt to read a tag. When you have too many tags to read at the same
time, the reading time should be increased.
Pattern
250 ms
Values
50 .. 5000
Example
To check the reading time:
rfon<CR>
250<CR>
To change the reading time to 500 ms (0.5 s):
500<CR rfon>
ok - parameter has been changed.<CR>
Errors
When the value reported is not among the specified:
error - value out of range<CR>
When more than one value is passed to the command:
error - too many args.<CR>
NOTE:
If the application requires reading multiple tags at the same time, leave the
rfon above 250ms to give time to energize all tags in the reader field.
NOTE: The reading results are reported by the reader after the sum of rfon rfoff times.
