■ TAT (Turn Around Time)
• The TAT depends on the type of Data Carrier being used (with or without a built-in battery).
• The TAT of Data Carriers without batteries also depends on the communications mode setting.
• The TAT is the total time required for the host device to receive a response after it has finished send-
ing a command.
TAT = Command send time + Data Carrier communications time + Response reception time
