Program and Erase Functions
The two most common methods of altering tag memory are the Program Tag and
Erase Tag commands. These two functions are supported by all Alien RFID tags,
including Class I and Class BPT systems.
The Program Tag function programs a user-defined ID into the tag memory. The
Erase function erases all data in the tag memory, setting all the tag data bytes to
zero.
Program Tag
9800 | 9780 | 8780 | 9640 | 9774
The Program Tag command allows the user to specify the ID to program into a
tag. Once the command is issued, the reader verifies the presence of a tag,
erases it, programs it, then reads back the tag memory to verify that the program
command worked properly.
 Tags that are locked cannot be Programmed.
 The Program Tag command expects you to supply a list of hexadecimal
bytes separated by spaces, representing the tag memory to program.
