Chapter 4 — BRI Commands
Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual

CAPABILITIES
Purpose:
This command allows an application to programmatically determine the
capabilities of an RFID reader. The following syntax defines the CAPABILITIES
command.
Command Shortcut:
CAP
Syntax:
CAPABILITIES [GPICOUNT] [GPOCOUNT] [GPITYPE<index>]
[GPOTYPE<index>] [ANTENNAS] [TAGTYPE] [TRIGGERCOUNT]
[FIELDSTRENGTH<MIN | MAX>[index]] [DENSEREADERMODE]
[LISTENBEFORETALK [CHANNEL <MIN | MAX>][SESSIONS]
[EPCC1G2PARAMETERS] [SCAN] [NXP]
Parameters:
Unlike other commands, the CAPABILITIES command has sub-commands which
allow you to determine the specifications of your reader.
[GPICOUNT] = This sub-command returns the number of general purpose inputs
available on your device. For example:
CAP GPICOUNT<CRLF>
4<CRLF>
OK>
[GPOCOUNT] = This sub-command will return the number of general purpose
outputs available on your device. For example:
CAP GPOCOUNT<CRLF>
4<CRLF>
OK>
[GPITYPE] = This sub-command will return the type of input (digital or analog) for
the input specified. If no specific input is requested, the type for each input will be
returned. This command will return either DIGITAL or ANALOG. For example
(assuming that there are 4 inputs):
CAP GPITYPE<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
OK>
[GPOTYPE] = This sub-command will return the type of output (digital or analog)
for the output specified. If a specific output pin is requested, the type will be
returned for each output pin. This command will return either DIGITAL or
ANALOG. For example (assuming there are 4 outputs):
CAP GPOTYPE<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
DIGITAL<CRLF>
OK>
