44 Functionality of the Mercury6e
Note
The “missing” logical antenna settings are still usable when only one GPIO
line is used for antenna control and simply results in redundant logical
antenna settings. For example, using only GPIO 1, logical setting 4 and 8
both result in GPIO1=Low and M6e port J4 active.
ONLY GPIO 2 Used for Antenna Switching
Port Power and Settling Time
The M6e allows the power and settling time for each logical antenna to be set using the
reader configuration parameters /reader/radio/portReadPowerList and /
