Purpose This command allows data from the RFID tag (embedded in the smart label) to merge into any previously defined dynamic data field. It is equivalent to the Field Number command (^FN) except that the data come from the RFID tag.

Format ^RT x, start, length, hex, retries, motion, reserved

^RT Read Tag command.

xSpecified Field Number (value assigned to the field). The default is 0. The acceptable value range is 0 to 9999.

start	Location where data will be read from the
	RFID tag. The PPI/ZGL only supports
	Alien Technology Class 1a tags, which
	have only one 8–byte or 12–byte block.
	Therefore, start will be set to 0,
	regardless of the specified value.
length	The number of blocks to be read from the
	RFID tag. The PPI/ZGL only supports
	Alien Technology Class 1a tags, which
	have only one 8–byte or 12–byte block.
	Therefore, length will be set to 1,
	regardless of the specified value.
hex	This flag indicates whether the data, after
	being read from the RFID tag, should be
	translated into hexadecimal format. The
	default is 0, meaning the data will not be
	translated. The other acceptable value is
	1, meaning the data will be translated
	into hexadecimal format.
