This section describes the functions provided in an RFID Unit.
| Function name | Description |
|---|---|
| RF Communications option function | This function switches the operation sequence during communications with
an RF Tag. |
| Communications command function | This function reads or writes the memory for a RF Tag on the antenna
communications area. |
| Write protection function | This function prevents the loss of data due to overwriting by specifying the
areas in which it is not possible to write to an RF Tag. |
| RF Tag service life detection function | This function records the number of times data is rewritten to an RF Tag,
and determines the maximum rewrite count. |
| RF Tag memory error detection function | This function detects an error during reading by performing CRC calculation
for the memory of an RF Tag. |
| RF Tag memory error correction function | This function detects an error during reading by performing ECC calculation
for the memory of an RF Tag, and corrects the error to an appropriate value. |
| Test command function | This function checks the margin in communications with an RF Tag, and
measures the surrounding noise. |
