6.5.22 ABxF Command 95H: SN Block Read
DESCRIPTION
Command 95H reads a block of data from a specified RFID tag.
DISCUSSION
This command is used to read segments of data from contiguous areas of tag memory. It handles up to
1 kByte of data transferred to the host with one command. The timeout value is given in 1 mse c increments
and can have a value of 1EH to FFFEH (65,534 ms). When the timeout is set to 0, the controller returns a
syntax error. The SN Block Read consists of Family ID, serial number, a start address, and length followed
by a timeout value. The eight-byte serial number of the target tag is specified. If the read length exceeds
the last tag address, the controller returns an error message in the status byte. It re turns a response when
done, or when the timeout expires.
