6.3 Command Types
#
Causes the Reader to beep and vibrate the specified number of times; data contains the number
as a single character in the range [0,127].
(The Reader will respond with d or e.)
Example – beep three times: #%03
Note: Behavior is defined per platform.
CR900FD/CR1000/CR2300/CR8000 – Beep three times.
CR1400/CR2600/CR3600/CR6000 – Beep and vibrate three times.
Note: Readers with a vibration motor are the CR1400, CR2600, CR3600 and CR6000.
$
Posts an event to the Reader; data contains the event number as a single character. See register
39 in Section 8 for a list of the event numbers.
(The Reader will respond with d or e.)
(
Causes the Reader to upload any logged error messages (no data)
(The Reader will respond with a g packet, zero or more z packets, and a final d or e. Each z
packet contains a portion of the requested data in its data field.
Note: This is very similar to the response to the X command; however, p packets are not
applicable and the g and d/e packets are not suppressed even in raw mode.)
)
Causes the Reader to erase its log of error messages (no data)
(The Reader will respond with d or e.)
,
Causes the Reader to send a list of current Reader settings (no data)
(The Reader will respond with d containing a space-separated list of all setting values (in order,
expressed as hexadecimal ASCII characters) or with e.)
(see ‘<’ command for saved Reader settings)
/
Toggle a bit (or bits) in a Reader setting; data contains a printable ASCII string in the following
format: hexadecimal register number in parentheses followed by a 32-bit signed integer value,
expressed in ASCII hexadecimal characters (with optional minus sign) or ASCII decimal characters
preceded by the ‘#’ character, e.g., /(2e)1000 or /(2e)#4096; the specified integer is XOR’ed with
the existing setting value.
The way a / command is handled is equivalent to a P command – the effects are immediate but
won’t survive a reboot. If you want the setting to be set after a reboot, issue a / then W or use
the newer C/ combination.
(The Reader will respond with d or e.)
Note: see Section 8 for possible Reader settings.
1
Indicates the start of a file download; data is empty. This command is followed by a sequence of
2 commands containing the file data and a download-end command (e.g., 5).
(The Reader will respond with d or e.)
