Logic analyzer setup
--------------------

The logic analyzer used was a Saleae Logic 16 clone (at 2MHz):

  1           RFID signal


Data
----

To transmit data to the tag you turn on and of the coil for x amount of
field clocks. This type of modulation is called OOK.

The purpose of these RFID copiers are to read a generic EM4100 tag and
copy the tag data to another tag. To do that you need to configure the
destination tag and write specially formatted data in the tag banks.
Thus the signal contains 4-5 write packets.
