Extended Tags

Extended Tags append additional data fields to standard TAIP event report messages. They are organized into 3 groups (A, B, C), each configurable independently.

Managing Extended Tags — XAEF (groups A/B/C)

Set tags for group A:

>SXAEFA;<TAG1>;<TAG2>;...<

Query current tags for group A:

>QXAEFA<

Delete all tags for group A:

>SXAEFAU<

Replace A with B or C for the other groups (SXAEFB, SXAEFC, etc.).

XAEF Result Examples

Set tags for group A:

>SXAEFA;SV;DOP;BL<
>RXAEFA;SV;DOP;BL<

Query tags for group A:

>QXAEFA<
>RXAEFA;SV;DOP;BL<

Delete tags for group A:

>SXAEFAU<
>RXAEFAU<

Group B and C behave the same way, replacing A with B or C.

Tag Details

BBS — Bluetooth Beacon Status

>SXAEFA;BBS<

Reports the latest BLE advertisement service data from all whitelisted beacons that have received at least one advertisement. Requires the whitelist to be configured via BBL.

Format: BBS=addr1$UUID1value1$...$2A08timestamp[,addr2$...]

Field	Description
address	12-character lowercase hex BLE address from the whitelist.
$UUID	4-character uppercase hex 16-bit UUID of the service data entry.
value	Uppercase hex bytes of the service data payload.
$2A08	Timestamp UUID (Date Time characteristic).
timestamp	8-character uppercase hex Unix epoch when the advertisement was received.

Special conditions:

• If no whitelist beacons have reported data, the result is BBS=U (unknown).
• Up to 8 service data entries per beacon are stored; only AD type 0x16 entries are included.

Example results:

• BBS=cbec81c98eea$2A6E4509$2A0868421234
• BBS=cbec81c98eea$2A6E4509$2A0868421234,703bf221d4d5$2A6E3809$2A6F250D$2A0868421240
• BBS=U (no beacon data available)

AL — Altitude

>SXAEFA;AL<

Reports altitude in meters from the GNSS fix. Requires a valid GNSS fix (F01 active).

Example results:

• AL=1250.5
• AL=-9999.0 (invalid fix quality)

AD — Main Power ADC

>SXAEFA;AD<

Reports the current main power ADC voltage in millivolts from UC_MAIN_POWER_ADC_CHANNEL.

This is the same signal used by the True Ignition (TI) command when voltage-based ignition detection is enabled.

Example results:

• AD=13200
• AD=0 (no measured voltage)

AP — Accelerometer Profile

>SXAEFA;AP<

Format: AP=<motion_state>,<acceleration>,0,0,0,0,0,0

• motion_state: 1 = motion detected, 0 = stationary
• acceleration: current acceleration value

Examples:

• AP=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
• AP=1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
• AP=1,200,0,0,0,0,0,0

BL — Battery Level

>SXAEFA;BL<

Reports the internal battery voltage in millivolts (e.g., BL=3850 = 3.850 V).

Example result: BL=3850

CE / CL / CS — Special Counters

>SXAEFA;CE;CL;CS<

• CE: Ignition counter — total ignition ON time since last reset
• CL: Idle counter — time engine is on but vehicle is not moving
• CS: Over-speed counter — time spent above the configured speed limit

Example results:

• CE=3600
• CL=120
• CS=45

CVxx — Counter Values

>SXAEFA;CV00;CV01<

Reports the current value of user counters C00–C99. Replace xx with the counter index (00–99).

Example results:

• CV00=1500
• CV01=230

DOP — Dilution of Precision

>SXAEFA;DOP<

Format: DOP=<PDOP>,<HDOP>,<VDOP> — integer values scaled by 10 (e.g., 12,9,8 means 1.2,0.9,0.8).

Example result: DOP=12,9,8

EA — Temperature (OneWire DS18B20)

>SXAEFA;EA<

Format: EA=<tag><value><tag><value>...

Special conditions:

• Values are emitted with sensor tag prefix (A..J) and two decimals (e.g., A23.50).
• If a sensor has no valid reading yet, it is reported as <tag>*.
• If no sensor has ever reported a valid value, the result is EA=A*.
• The payload includes tags from A up to the last tag with valid data.

Example results:

• EA=A23.50
• EA=A10.00B-5.50
• EA=A*

FF — Fuel Sensor Snapshot

The same value is available via the XAIP command.

Example results:

• IP=10.24.183.57
• IP=0.0.0.0 (session down)

IS — iButton Status

>SXAEFA;IS<

Format: IS=<connected><ID> — no separator between connection flag and ID.

Example results:

• IS=0
• IS=101AABBCCDDEEFF
• IS=001AABBCCDDEEFF

IX — I/O Status

>SXAEFA;IX<

Format: IX=102<extpwr_ignon>3<input1>4<output1_output2>
