Gen2 Tag Commands
134
Divide Ratio as Per Gen2 (DR) (1 byte: Current fixed to 0x01, M5e and M5e-C only
support DR=64/3)
Miller Cycles (M) (1 byte: Current fixed to 0x02, M5e and M5e-C only support M=4)
TrExt as Per Gen2 (1 byte: Current fixed to 0x01, M5e and M5e-C only support
extended Pilot Tone)
It is invoked with the following command:
The response to the EAS Alarm command contains 8 bytes of EAS Alarm Data, only if
Status=0x0000. The format of the response is:
Calibrate
The NXP command Calibrate causes the tag to return a random data pattern that is
useful in some frequency spectrum measurements. This command uses only the
common fields and is invoked with the following command:
The response to the Calibrate command contains 32 bytes of Calibrate Data, only if
Status=0x0000. The format of the response is:
FF 07 2D 03 E8 02 04 01 02 01
