Protocol Support
The Micro has the ability to support many different tag protocols. Using the MercuryAPI
ReadPlan classes the Micro can be configured to single or multi-protocol Read
operations. The current protocols supported are (some may require a license to enable):
ISO 18000-6C (Gen2)
I-PX
ISO 18000-6B
ISO 18000-6C (Gen2)
Protocol Configuration Options
The Micro supports multiple ISO-18000-6C profiles including the ability to specify the Link
Frequency, encoding schemes, Tari value and modulation scheme. The protocol options
are set in the MercuryAPI Reader Configuration Parameters (/reader/gen2/*). The
following table shows the supported combinations:
Note
It is important that the /reader/baudRate is greater than /reader/
gen2/BLF, in equivalent frequency units. If its not then the reader could be
