Chapter 2. Commands

Examples:

1. The command sequence 'X01' reads page 1 of a Multipage Transponder without 

switching the TX/RX control outputs.

2. The command sequence 'XM4201' reads page 1 of a Multipage Transponder, 

switching the control output lines for a 4 Channel Transmit Multiplexer and a 2 
Channel Receive Multiplexer.

A typical Multiplexer read sequence selects the Transmit Antennas from 1 to
TX_ANT then the Receive Antennas are selected from 1 to RX_ANT with a succes-
sive transponder read. 

The multiplexer sequence depends on how many transmit and receive antennas are
specified, but the sequence is always: The first TX antenna is selected, then in series
the RX antennas (1, 2, 3 or 4), then the next TX antenna is selected, followed once
again by the RX antennas. Then the next TX antenna and so on.
