Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual
READGPI Command
The READGPI command returns a value that indicates the current state of all the
GP input lines available on a reader. For more information, see
“READGPI” on
page 60
.
Readers that contain the IM4 module have two GP input lines, which are numbered
from 1 to 2. Each GP input line can be 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
The response is formatted as follows for a reader that has two GP input lines,
indicating that all input are ON:
3<CRLF>
OK><CRLF>
TRIGGER Command
The TRIGGER command creates, deletes, and displays trigger events that are based
on the state of the GP inputs supported by the reader. For more information, see
“TRIGGER” on page 63
.
For readers that contain the IM4 module, the GPIO mask value can only contain
values 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Antennas
Readers that contain the IM4 module have one antenna, and affects these
programming elements:
ANTENNA data type definition
ANTENNA or ANTS attribute
ANTENNA Data Type Definition
The ANTENNA data type definition indicates which antenna primarily located the
tag. ANTENNA is also a read-only value reported during the execution of READ and
WRITE commands. For more information, see
“ANTENNA” on page 22
.
For readers that contain the IM4 module, the ANTENNA data type definition
always returns a value of 1.
