 Autonomous mode is more complicated.  A user will set up several parameters, such as the notifyAddress (the address of the server where tag lists are to be sent), notifyTime (a time interval a which messages will be sent), notifyTrigger (a condition upon which to fire a message), and others.  When a trigger is fired, or the notify time has expired, a message that contains the tag list will be sent to the server.

 The Alien reader was the first reader that Pramari implemented, so therefore some of code in the emulator (such as the timestamp information in the tags and the tag memory) is alien specific.  For more information about the structure of the emulator see [[Engine Overview]].

−	~~===General Purpose Input & Output===~~
−	On the hardware Alien reader, there is a port for general purpose input and output, so that other kinds of sensors, like electronic eyes, can control certain features, and certain actuators could be controlled by the reader. This functionality is currently not emulated in the Rifidi alien reader
