3.3 Format Change Card
Each time you read the Format Change Card with your Wand Reader-B, the reader will
change how it formats Avid protocol microchip ID numbers when they are sent over the
Bluetooth low energy interface. Four formats are available:
Avid Microchip ID Number Format
AVID*123*456*789
123*456*789
A123456789
123456789
The default format is
A123456789
, but you can choose whichever format is convenient for
use with your software. No matter which format you choose, Avid protocol microchip ID
numbers will always be displayed in
AVID*123*456*789
format on the reader's display, and
the formatting of other types of microchip ID numbers will not be affected.
