Programming Rules

Use blank spaces exactly as shown in the command descriptions, examples, and syntax. Blank spaces are the delimiters between parameters. Omitting a necessary space may result in incorrect programming or a failure to recognize commands.

In CPL-RFID programming, the RFID specific directives are case- sensitive and must be fully spelled-out.

Certain CPL-RFID commands operate outside of the standard label formatting. The commands that start with the !RFID command verb need not be placed between a header line and an END command.

RFID Command Name Structure

RFID commands described in this chapter will use the following conventions:

RFID Command Name

Function	Purpose of the command
Explicit Form	Proper sequence for using the command and its
	parameters
Parameters	Variables or conditions that may be required or
	used with the command
Command Type	Category of the RFID command
