Inventory Initiated command

The M24LR64-R provides a special feature to improve the inventory time response of

moving tags using the Initiate_flag value. This flag, controlled by the Initiate command,

allows tags to answer to Inventory Initiated commands.

For applications in which multiple tags are moving in front of a reader, it is possible to miss

tags using the standard inventory command. The reason is that the inventory sequence has

to be performed on a global tree search. For example, a tag with a particular UID value may

have to wait the run of a long tree search before being inventoried. If the delay is too long,

the tag may be out of the field before it has been detected.

Using the Initiate command, the inventory sequence is optimized. When multiple tags are

moving in front of a reader, the ones which are within the reader field will be initiated by the

Initiate command. In this case, a small batch of tags will answer to the Inventory Initiated

command which will optimize the time necessary to identify all the tags. When finished, the

reader has to issue a new Initiate command in order to initiate a new small batch of tags

which are new inside the reader field.

It is also possible to reduce the inventory sequence time using the Fast Initiate and Fast

Inventory Initiated commands. These commands allow the M24LR64-Rs to increase their

response data rate by a factor of 2, up to 53 Kbit/s.
