M24LR16E-R Request format
The request consists of:
• an SOF,
• flags,
• a command code,
• parameters and data,
• a CRC,
• an EOF.

In a request, the “flags” field specifies the actions to be performed by the M24LR16E-R and whether corresponding fields are present or not.
The flags field consists of eight bits. Bit 3 (Inventory_flag) of the request flag defines the contents of the four MSBs (bits 5 to 8). When bit 3 is reset (0), bits 5 to 8 define the
M24LR16E-R selection criteria. When bit 3 is set (1), bits 5 to 8 define the M24LR16E-R
Inventory parameters.

1 Protocol format extension
1. Subcarrier_flag refers to the M24LR16E-R-to-VCD communication.
2. Data_rate_flag refers to the M24LR16E-R-to-VCD communication.
3. Protocol_extension_flag must be set to 1 for commands: Read Single Block, Read Multiple Block, Fast
Read Multiple Block, Write Single Block, Get Multiple Block Security Status. Command Get System Info supports two options: a standard response format when Protocol_extension_flag is set to 0, and a rich response when protocol extension is set to 1.
