3.2.1 Inventory command
The Inventory button launches an Inventory command and thus detects the tags present in
the RF field. The command is associated with an anticollision algorithm to detect each tag
individually (see Figure 25).
The Loop option is used to loop on inventory commands. It is selected (or deselected) by
checking (or unchecking) the box next to Loop.

The RF TAG ANSWER report button shows the RF answer from the tag, detected by the
RF reader.
Figure 29 shows an example of a reader’s RF request and the corresponding answer from
the tag.
Figure 29. RF request and RF answer
The RF read request is at address 0000. The RF answer is the read data: FF D8 FF E0.
3.2.4 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 M24LR64-R datasheet.
The Non-addressed, Addressed or Select mode can be selected by clicking on the desired
mode as shown in Figure 30, Figure 31 or Figure 32.
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 M24LR64-R device (please refer to the M24LR64-R
datasheet for details).
Figure 30. 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 M24LR64-R
datasheet for details).
After an Inventory command (see Section 3.2.1: 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.

20/49 Doc ID 16609 Rev 1
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 M24LR64-R device in the Select State (please refer to
the M24LR64-R datasheet for details).
To select a tag, refer to the SELECT paragraph below, and to the M24LR64-R datasheet
(Select paragraph).
Figure 32. Selecting the Select mode
3.2.5 Managing the M24LR64-R states
The M24LR64-R can be in different states: Power-off, Ready, Quiet and Selected (refer to
the M24LR64-R datasheet for details).
The interface shown in Figure 33 is used to send three types of RF request to place the
M24LR64-R in one out of three specific states: Selected, Quiet and Ready.
Figure 33. Device state management interface
SELECT
The SELECT button is used to send a Select RF request with the UID of a specific tag
(Section 3.2.1: Inventory command) (refer to the M24LR64-R datasheet for details).
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 M24LR64-R
datasheet for details).
RESET TO READY
The RESET TO READY button is used to send a Reset to Ready RF request (refer to the
M24LR64-R datasheet for details).
