Smart Reader Operation NFC Templates EM4134 Memory
September 3, 2024 at 2:25 AMEM4134 Memory Template
Description
Use the EM4134 Memory Template to read data from the EM MicroElectronic Marin EM4134 chip.
The reader may either
-
Read arbitrary data; the data will be transmitted in hexadecimal format. To do so, select the RAW mode in TOF register.
-
Read a number (decimal output). To do so, select the decimal mode in TOF register.
-
Read a string (ASCII-encoded data). To do so, select either the Short String or the Long String mode in TOF register.
The target data is pointed to by an absolute word number; a word is 4-byte long (yet the data may occupy more than one word).
The word number is specified in the LOC register.

)
Use this byte to specify the exact length to read from the card. Valid range is 1
to 255
.
OPT - Options
Offset : 4
Size : 1
If this register is set, the Reader adds a token to its output to tell the receiver what kind of credential has been read.
Bit | Role | Values |
---|---|---|
7-4 | RFU | |
3-2 | Position of the Card Type Token | 0 : Before the Prefix1 : After the Prefix, before the Data2 : After the Data (before the Suffix)3 : RFU |
1-0 | Add a Card Type Token to the output stream? | 0 : Do not add a Card Type Token1 : Add Card Type Token in hex (56 )2 : Add Card Type Token as char (V )3 : RFU |
PFX - Prefix
Offset : 2
Size : 8
A Template-specific Prefix, that is added after the Reader’s global Prefix.
Remark : Use \t
for a Tab, \n
for Enter, \b
