Event Response Times
The following table provides information on how long common ThingMagic Nano
operations take. An event response time is defined as the maximum time from the end of
a command to the beginning of the action the command enables. For example, whenever
appropriate, the time represents the delay between the last byte of a read command and
the moment when an RF signal is detected at the antenna.

Notes
Power Up Application Active (with
CRC check)
140 This longer power up period should only
occur for the first boot with new firm-
ware.
Power Up Application Active 28 Once the firmware CRC has been veri-
fied subsequent power ups do not
require the CRC check be performed,
saving time.
