Encompass 4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader System Guide
7-12
Each time the reader receives a tag ID, it compares the ID with the contents of a com-
parison register. This register contains the following two items:
Item 1
Most recently acquired ID
Item 2
Second-most recently acquired ID (if different from item 1)
When the uniqueness filter is set to a separation of one ID, the newly acquired ID is 
transmitted only if it is different from item 1. When the uniqueness filter is set to a 
separation of two IDs, the reader transmits the newly acquired ID only if it is different 
from both items 1 and 2.
Note:  A new ID can fail the filter test and not be transmitted; however, it remains 
stored in the comparison register.
The uniqueness test has a two-minute time limit. If an ID is buffered, it will not be 
accepted again unless it arrives at the reader more than two minutes from the previous 
arrival or until the receipt of one or more other IDs reset the uniqueness. 
Note:  The Encompass 4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader System does not include a real-
time clock. The dual-protocol Encompass 4/4800 Multiprotocol Reader internal tim-
ing varies depending on the operative tag read mode and the type of tag in the read 
field.

43   Buffer All ID Codes
Command 43 buffers all acquired ID codes. It effectively cancels any uniqueness 
criteria previously set by select unique ID code criteria command 410N. 
Note:  Command 43 is for diagnostic purposes only.
After diagnostics are complete, reset the select unique ID code criteria using 
command 410N.
