6.4.21 ABxS Command 94H: SN Fill

DESCRIPTION

Command 94H fills only the RFID tag specified by the serial number with a one-byte value over multiple contiguous addresses.

DISCUSSION

This command is commonly used to clear an RFID tag's memory. It writes a one-byte value repetitively across a specified range of tag addresses. Only the tag with the specified serial number is affected by this command. The controller returns a response after the successful fill operation or when the timeout expires. The fill function requires a Family ID and a Serial Number, one data value byte, a starting address, and a fill length. It fills the specified tag with the data value byte, starting at the specified start address for the specified number of consecutive bytes. When Fill Length is set to 0, the controller writes fill data from the start address to the end of the tag's memory. The timeout value is given in 1 ms increments and can have a value of 001EH to FFFEH (65,534 ms). When the timeout is set to 0, the controller returns a syntax error. It returns a response when done or when the timeout expires.
