3. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

3.1 Communication Setting

SL600 is kind of HID-compliant device, so there is no need to install the driver.
For HID-compliant device, user can send and receive data using “set report” and “ get
report” functions of USB HID protocol.
Of course, we also offer DLL for users to develop their own applications. Details see to
chapter 4.

3.2 Communication Format

Host to Reader(Set Report in HID protocol):

Preamble: 2 bytes equal to 0xAABB
Len: 2 bytes, indicating the number of bytes from DeviceID to Checksum
the left byte is used, and the right byte is also 0x00
DeviceID: 2 bytes (default: 0x00)
Command: 2 bytes, Command code
Data: Variable length depending on the command code
Checksum: 1 byte, XOR of all the bytes from DeviceID to Data

Reader to Host(Get Report in HID protocol):

Preamble: 2 bytes equal to 0xAABB
Len: 2 bytes, indicating the number of bytes from DeviceID to Checksum
the left byte is used, and the right byte is also 0x00
DeviceID: 2 bytes (default: 0x00)
Command: 2 bytes Command code
Status: 1 byte, 0 = success, not 0 = fail
Data: Response data, not necessary
Checksum: 1 byte, XOR of all the bytes from DeviceID to Data
