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

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)

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

>SXAEFA;FF<

Format: FF=<state>,<frequency>,<temperature>,<level>

• state: 0 disconnected, 1 connected
• frequency: Technoton oscillator frequency in Hz
• temperature: sensor temperature in degrees Celsius
• level: fuel level in sensor units

Example result: FF=1,2571,24,500

IS — iButton Status

>SXAEFA;IS<

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

• connected: 1 if connected now, 0 otherwise
• ID: last known 14-character iButton ID (can remain present even when disconnected)

Example results:

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

IX — I/O Status

>SXAEFA;IX<

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

Where:

• <extpwr_ignon> is a 2-bit value: extpwr | (ignon << 1)
• <input1> is 0 or 1
• <output1_output2> is a 2-bit value: output1 | (output2 << 1)

Example results:

• IX=10203040
• IX=10233040

PS — Photo Serial

>SXAEFA;PS<

Reports the last serial-camera photo ID captured by an event action.

The configured tag name is PS, but the emitted field is fixed as PS00=<photo_id> using an 8-digit zero-padded identifier.

Example result: PS00=00001234

SC — Signal Coverage

>SXAEFA;SC<

Format: SC=<GEN>,<MCC>,<MNC>,<LAC_HEX4>,<CELL_ID_HEX8>,<RSSI>

GEN is derived from RAT (4G, 3G, 2G, or UNKNOWN).

Example results:

• SC=4G,732,123,04D2,0000DDD5,20
• SC=2G,310,410,0064,000000C8,15

SV — Satellites in View

>SXAEFA;SV<

Number of GNSS satellites actively used in the current fix.

Example result: SV=9

VH — Virtual Hourmeter

>SXAEFA;VH<

Format: VH=HHH:MM — accumulated engine hours and minutes. Configure control signal with >SXAVH<.

Example result: VH=125:30

VO — Virtual Odometer

>SXAEFA;VO<

Format: VO=DDDDD — accumulated distance in km. Configure control signal with >SXAVO<.

Example result: VO=15234
