data read will be stored in the resulting TagReadData Data field.
 int weight - default value is 1000. See MultiReadPlan for how weights are used.
 boolean useFastSearch - optimizes performance for small tag populations moving
through the RF field at high speeds.
Constructors exist to create SimpleReadPlan objects with various combinations of
antennas, TagFilter Interface and weights. See the language specific reference guide for
the list of all constructors.
StopTriggerReadPlan
This sub-class of SimpleReadPlan accepts the following additional parameter and, when
set as the active /reader/read/plan , will cause the Read Methods operation to Return on N
Tags Found instead of waiting for the full timeout or /reader/read/asyncOnTime to expire:
 StopOnTagCount - This class contains an integer field N which specifies the number
of tags read required to trigger the end of the read operation. See Return on N Tags
Found for suggestions on optimizing configuration for a particular N value.
Note
Not currently supported with Continuous Reading .
MultiReadPlan
A MultiReadPlan object contains an array of other ReadPlan objects. The relative
weight of each of the included sub- ReadPlan s is used to determine what fraction of the
total read time is allotted to that sub-plan.
For example, if the first plan has a weight of 20 and the second has a weight of 10, the
first 2/3 of any read will use the first plan, and the remaining 1/3 will use the second plan).
MultiReadPlan can be used, for example, to search for tags of different protocols on
different antennas and search on each for a different amount of time.

The M6e does not currently support MultiReadPlans when operating in
Continuous Reading mode. If a MultiReadPlan is being used on an M6e with
the Reader.StartReading() method then /reader/read/asyncOffTime must be
greater than zero.
