Response Data (The format depends on the command.):
+N
Signal/data Name Data type Size Function
READY Ready
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer completes
preparations and is ready to receive a command. It turns OFF
while tag data link communications are disconnected and the
reconnecting Reader/Writer is executing a command.
BUSY Command
Execution Active
BOOL 1 bit
This bit is ON while the Reader/Writer is executing a command.
It is OFF when a command is not being executed.
NORM Command
Completion BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer completes command
execution normally (i.e., for a normal end).
It turns OFF when the EXE signal is turned OFF.
ERR Error
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer returns an error
response.
It turns OFF when the EXE signal is turned OFF.
FRIC Flicker
BOOL 1 bit
This bit toggles (turns ON or turns OFF) when the
communications result changes while the Reader/Writer is
executing an RF Tag communications command with a Repeat
communications option.
CMD_ERR Command error
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer returns a command
error response. It turns ON and OFF in sync with the ERR
signal.
RF_ERR RF Tag
Communications
Error
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer returns an RF Tag
communications error response. It turns ON and OFF in sync
with the ERR signal.
SYS_ERR Fatal Error
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the Reader/Writer returns a fatal error
response.
It turns ON and OFF in sync with the ERR signal.
RF_WAR Unstable
Communications
BOOL 1 bit
This bit turns ON when the diagnostics result in the response
for execution of an RF Tag communications command by the
Reader/Writer indicates that communications are unstable.
It turns ON and OFF in sync with the NORM signal.
