Entering these commands effectively expires the time-out clock, which erases all cur-
rent IDs in the comparison register. In effect, the first ID that is acquired after the
clock expires always appears to be new and is stored. Newly acquired IDs are only
tested against IDs that are registered after the clock resets.
rent IDs in the comparison register. In effect, the first ID that is acquired after the
clock expires always appears to be new and is stored. Newly acquired IDs are only
tested against IDs that are registered after the clock resets.
The time-out clock is continually reset (does not expire) as long as the reader receives
the same tag ID. For example, assume that the time-out clock is set for 2 minutes and
there is a railcar parked on a siding in front of the reader. Without this reset feature, the
railcar’s ID would be reported every 2 minutes (each time the time-out clock expired).

452 Disable Tag Translation Mode (Factory Default)
Command #452 disables tag translation mode. Incoming full-frame tags will be
directly converted to ASCII. They will not be translated from Association of
American Railroads (AAR) and American Trucking Associations (ATA) format to
ASCII.

Done
453 Enable Tag Translation Mode
Command #453 enables the translation of tags in AAR and ATA formats. Specific
data fields, such as owner ID and car number, will be extracted from these tags,
translated according to AAR or ATA standards, and converted to ASCII. Tags that are
not programmed in AAR or ATA format will be directly converted to ASCII. The
reader will not attempt to translate data from half-frame or dual-frame tags.

454 Disable Multi-tag Sort (Factory Default)
Command #454 is a default set in the factory to disable the multi-tag sort function.
Reader response:
Done
455 Enable Multi-tag Sort
Command #455 enables the multi-tag sort function that allows the reader to identify
unique tags within a group of Intellitag-based tags. Multi-tag sort allows full operation
of the tags and reader to be carried out with any number of tags in the presence of the
reader.

Reader response:
Done
Note: Enabling the multi-tag sort function adversely affects the vehicle speed at
which tags may be read. If there is only one Intellitag-based tag in the vehicles of the
target population, multi-tag sort should be disabled.
