6.5.5 ABxF Command 08H: Tag Search
DESCRIPTION
Command 08H checks for an RFID tag in the controller field.
DISCUSSION
This command activates the controller to “look” for a tag in the RF field. If the controller finds a tag, it
returns a command echo to the host. If no tag is present, it returns an error message. Even though this
command is grouped with single tag commands, the presence of multiple tags within range of the antenna
will not cause errors. See Section 6.6 for information on the error messages.
