Manual ACM 9 - ARE i9 release
3.4 Firmware ARE i9 LF
ARE i9 LF works with (all) low frequency transponders in ASK, PSK and FSK modulation. Please see chapter 3.3.13 for details
on which transponder chips are implemented. Depending on the selected algorithms, not all instructions below make sense
so only those which do work accordingly (e.g. write command 'wd' does not work for a read only transponder).
3.4.1 Instruction Set
Communication with ARE i9 is based on a simple ASCII text based protocol. The host sends text based telegrams to ARE i9
and receives text based telegrams back containing the answer to the query. Communication to ARE i9 is always triggered
by the host.
3.4.2 General format of instruction set
The protocol format is as follows
Instruction <SP> parameter <CR>
The space character <SP> separates commands from parameters and the <CR> character acts as command line
terminator.
For commands without parameter values (e.g. GT ) the <SP> character and parameter values are omitted. The command
line is as short as this:
Instruction <CR>
