6.1 Commands Overview
You can transfer data from OMNI MAX to your computer, tablet or smartphone using the USB Virtual Comm
Port or Bluetooth connection (if Bluetooth version purchased).
3 command types are possible:
o Get
o Set
o Execute
A “Get” command is used to read a parameter value from the reader and always starts with the letter “G”, e.g
“G<CMD>\r\n”.
A “Set” command is used to change a parameter value in the reader and always starts with a dot “.”, followed
by the command name and parameter value, e.g “.[CMD]<par>\r\n”.
An “Execute” command is sent to the reader to perform an action. These commands always start with “.”,
and do not have any parameters, e.g. “.<CMD>\r\n”.
