6.5.3.1 Object RuntimeParameters

This FunctionalGroup is inherited from the AutoIdDeviceType and described in 6.1. Predefined runtime parameters for for this FunctionalGroup are defined in Table 15 and described below.

Parameter CodeTypesRWData allows the user to determine the supported code types and to select the configured CodeTypes for the diagnostics value RWData (defined in ). This parameter is used to expose the list of supported CodeTypes. This list can contain the predefined values or vendor specific values. The Value of the Variable contains the currently selected types. The code type Strings are defined in 9.1.3.

Parameter TagTypes allows the user to determine the expected tags in a multi-type environment (e.g. ISO 14443 or ISO 15693). This parameter is used to expose the list of supported tag types. This list can contain the predefined values or vendor specific values. The Value of the Variable contains the currently selected types. The following Strings are defined by this specification.

  • ISO 14443
  • ISO 15693
  • ISO 18000-2
  • ISO 18000-3 Mode1
  • ISO 18000-3 Mode2
  • ISO 18000-3 Mode3
  • ISO 18000-4
  • ISO 18000-61
  • ISO 18000-62
  • ISO 18000-63
  • ISO 18000-64
  • EPC Class1 Gen2 V1
  • EPC Class1 Gen2 V2

Parameter RfPower is used to adjust radio transmission power, per antenna.

Parameter MinRssi is the lowest acceptable RSSI value (see also Strength field in RFIDSighting).

Parameter EnableAntennas determines the antennas that shall be used by the RfidDevice for its operation. The value is a binary selection of the antennas. Each bit represents one antenna, max. 32 antennas can be addressed.

  • Bit0 corresponds to antenna number 1, Bit1 corresponds to antenna number 2, …
  • A Bit value of 1 means an activated antenna, a Bit value of 0 a deactivated antenna. E.g.: The value BIN 1101 = DEC 13 enables the antennas 1+3+4
  • A total value of 0 of EnableAntennas does not have any effect. The general device configuration can just be limited, not extended by EnableAntennas. E.g. if a four-port reader has three antennas activated according to the general configuration, it is not possible to activate the antenna four via EnableAntennas.
