Moving From 64 Bit Tags To 96 Bit Tags

When the time comes to upgrade from 64 bit data to 96 bit data the best solution is to select the 96 bit tag type on the menu (which is mandatory) and modify the host datastream to write the full 96 bits.

When 64 Bit Data Is Sent To A 96 Bit Tag: PGL

Both the old (RFWRITE) and the new (RFWTAG) commands will pad zeroes to the right on the physical tag. When the tag is read back, both the old (RFREAD) and the new (RFRTAG) commands will recover the correct 64 bits of data. This will then be printed or verified (sent back to host) correctly.

Example 1

~NORMAL

~CREATE;test1;216

RFWRITE;HEX;RF3;16;AT1; FONT;FACE 93952;SLANT 0;BOLD 1

ALPHA RFREAD@;AF1;25;2;2;0;0

STOP

END ~EXECUTE;test1 ~RF3;"68656C6C6F746167" ~AF1;*DATA = @1,16,1;*

~NORMAL

Result: printed 68656C6C6F746167
