Moving From 64 Bit Tags To 96 Bit Tags

When the time comes to upgrade from 64 bit data to 96 bit data the
best solution is to select the 96 bit tag type on the menu (which is
mandatory) and modify the host datastream to write the full 96 bits.

When 64 Bit Data Is Sent To A 96 Bit Tag: PGL

Both the old (RFWRITE) and the new (RFWTAG) commands will
pad zeroes to the right on the physical tag. When the tag is read
back, both the old (RFREAD) and the new (RFRTAG) commands
will recover the correct 64 bits of data. This will then be printed or
verified (sent back to host) correctly.

Example 1

~NORMAL
~CREATE;test1;216
RFWRITE;HEX;RF3;16;AT1;

END
~EXECUTE;test1
~RF3;"68656C6C6F746167"

Result: printed 68656C6C6F746167
