Namespace TechnologySolutions.Rfid.AsciiProtocol.Commands
The namespace contains the ASCII Protocol commands that can be sent to the reader. There is a command class for each command documented in the Technology Solutions UK Ltd ASCII 2 Protocol and public properties on the command for each of the parameters.
Command Identifiers
Each ASCII Protocol command has a two letter command identifier which is shown in the Class summary (e.g. .iv for the InventoryCommand)
Command Parameters
Where a Property represents an ASCII Command parameter it has an AsciiParameterAttribute assigned that identifies the command parameter for that property
For example the IsBarcodeEscaped property of the BarcodeCommand has a AsciiParameterAttribute e because it represents the e parameter of the barcode command (e.g. .bc -e on if the property is set to true)
Response Headers
Where a Property is provided on the command that represents a response header an AsciiResponseAttribute is used. When the command is executed, such that the command receives its own response, the response headers will be populated with the response.
For example the SerialNumber property of the VersionInformationCommand has a AsciiResponseAttribute US because it receives the US: <serial number> response line of a response to a .vr command
