The command is associated with an anticollision algorithm to detect each tag individually (see Figure 27 and Figure 28). The Loop option is used to loop on inventory commands. It is selected (or deselected) by checking (or unchecking) the box next to Loop. Figure 27. Inventory button Figure 28. Three tags detected You can select a tag in the list of detected UIDs by clicking on the desired UID in the list as shown in Figure 29.

The RF TAG ANSWER report button shows the RF answer from the tag, detected by the RF reader. Figure 32 shows an example of a reader’s RF request and the corresponding answer from the tag. Figure 32. RF request and RF answer The RF read request is at address 0000. The RF answer is the read data: FF D8 FF E0. 3.2.5 Selecting the RF mode The RF ISO 15693 protocol allows the user to communicate in RF in three different modes: the Non-addressed mode, the Addressed mode and the Select mode. For further details, please refer to the M24LRxx datasheet. The Non-addressed, Addressed or Select mode can be selected by clicking on the desired mode as shown in Figure 33, Figure 34 or Figure 35. Non-addressed mode Selecting the Non-addressed mode clears the bits 5 and 6 in the Request_flags of the RF request (bit 5 = 0, bit 6 = 0). The request is executed by any M24LRxx device (please refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). Doc ID 16609 Rev 3 21/56 How to control the RF and I²C channels from your screen UM0853 Figure 33. Selecting the Non-addressed mode Addressed mode Selecting the Addressed mode clears bit 5 and sets bit 6 in the Request_flags of the RF request (bit 5 = 0, bit 6 = 1). The request is addressed. The UID field is present (please refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). After an Inventory command (see Section 3.2.2: Inventory command), you will be able to click on an UID to select a specific tag. The desired UID will be sent with the request if the Addressed mode is chosen. If no specific UID tag is selected, the device sends “00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00” instead of the UID value. Figure 34. Selecting the Addressed mode Select mode Selecting the Select mode sets bit 5 and clears bit 6 in the Request_flags of the RF request (bit 5 = 1 and bit 6 = 0). The request is executed only by the M24LRxx device in the Select State (please refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). To select a tag, refer to the SELECT paragraph below, and to the M24LRxx datasheet (Select paragraph). Figure 35. Selecting the Select mode 3.2.6 Managing M24LRxx states The M24LRxx can be in different states: Power-off, Ready, Quiet and Selected (refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). The interface shown in Figure 36 is used to send three types of RF request to place the M24LRxx in one out of three specific states: Selected, Quiet and Ready. Figure 36. Device state management interface SELECT The SELECT button is used to send a Select RF request with the UID of a specific tag (Section 3.2.2: Inventory command) (refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). 22/56 Doc ID 16609 Rev 3 UM0853 How to control the RF and I²C channels from your screen If no tag was selected after the Inventory request, the device sends “00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00” instead of the UID value. STAY QUIET The STAY QUIET button is used to send a Stay Quiet RF request (refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). RESET TO READY The RESET TO READY button is used to send a Reset to Ready RF request (refer to the M24LRxx datasheet for details). 3.2.7 Read command Figure 37. Initiating a read operation By pressing the Read button, you launch RF requests to read the contents of the M24LRxx EEPROM from the block address specified in the from field to the block address specified in the to field. The result of the read operation is displayed in the MEMORY seen by RF area (see Figure 38 to Figure 41). From 0000 to 07FF reads all M24LRxx EEPROM contents. Figure 38 and Figure 39 only show the results for sector 0 and sector 3F, respectively. Doc ID 16609 Rev 3 23/56 How to control the RF and I²C channels from your screen Figure 38. Result of the read operation - Sector 00h Figure 39. Result of the read operation - Sector 3Fh Use the arrows on the keyboard to change the sector or block to be read.

Sector 0 blocks 1 to 5 How to read the memory area with the RF Interface: ● The first column (sector) indicates the sector read. ● The second column (block) indicates the address of the block read. ● The third column (data) shows the contents of the M24LRxx at the specified addresses. ● The fourth column (sss) gives the sector security status. Example: in Figure 41 above, the data 49 46 00 01 means: 49 (49h Hex) is the first piece of data read in block number 0002 (sector 0) 46 (46h Hex) is the second piece of data read in block number 0002 (sector 0) 00 (00h Hex) is the third piece of data read in block number 0002 (sector 0) 01 (01h Hex) is the fourth piece of data read in block number 0002 (sector 0) 3.2.8 Write command The Write button launches RF requests to write data to the M24LRxx EEPROM from the block address specified in the from field to the block address entered in the to field. In Figure 42, the Write command fills the blocks 0000h to 001Fh with “A1 34 09 67”. Figure 42. Initiating a write operation You can choose to write the same byte four times by changing the value in the Fill with field. In the example below, the byte 55 is to be written four times.
