"RP" and "RM" – Multiplexing (Antenna Control)
Sub-Commands
Sub Command Description Legal Values
for SET
RP<E or D>
Show Antenna numbers in the inventory output RPE to enable
and
RPD to disable
RP<Antenna number>
Select the antenna to read from. Only use that antenna until
a new antenna is selected. Using the RP command tells the
reader to read from only one antenna. Note: using RP will
automatically force MUXMODE to 0
Antenna
number can be
set to 1-4
RMM<number of
Antennas>
Determine how many antennas take part in the mux
sequence (For example: RMM2 would only use 2 antennas to
sequence over)
1-4
RM1 or RM1<NUMINV>
Sets Mux Mode 1
• Mode 1 is a simple ROUNDROBIN - a full set of
inventory operations will be run on each antenna
sequentially
• You can specify the number of times the full
inventory is run with the command RM1<NUMINV(1
to F) where the inventory is run NUMINV+1
• RM1 sets NUMINV to 0
• This mode is useful if you have multiple antennas
that are scanning for tags in uncoordinated areas
where a given tag is probably only going to be seen
by one of the antennas
n/a
RM2 or RM2<NUMINV>
Sets Mux Mode 2
• Mode 2 is also a ROUNDROBIN - BUT one of the
inventory operations (SELECT) is ONLY set on
antenna 0
• For example, the antenna sequence is: 1(Do
SELECT), 2, 3, 4, 1(Do SELECT), 2, 3, 4...
• This is useful where multiple antennas are scanning
the same area for tags
n/a
RM3 or RM3<NUMINV>
Sets Mux Mode 3
• Mode 3 is a ROUNDROBIN - but the antenna used
for the select is incremented through the antenna
sequence.
• For example, the antenna sequence is (Where S is
SELECT): 1S, 2, 3, 4, 2S, 3, 4, 1, 3S, 4, 1, 2, 4S, 1, 2, 3
