Custom Encoding
If you select Custom Encoding, all options are active.
The Default is
ISO Encoding
.
Note:
The defaults are the same as the ISO Encoding defaults.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are active.
You can change the Magnetic Track options for Tracks 1, 2 and 3.
Character Size
4 Bits
to change the bits per character to 4 BPC.
Note: This is the default for Track 3.
5 Bits
to change the bits per character to 5 BPC.
Note: This is the default for Tracks 2 and 3.
7 Bits
to change the bits per character to 7 BPC.
Note: This is the default for Track 1.
8 Bits
to change the bits per character to 8 BPC.
ASCII Offset
NULL
to change the ASCII Offset to NULL.
SPACE
to change the ASCII Offset to SPACE.
Note: This is the default for Track 1.
ZERO
to change the ASCII Offset to ZERO.
Note: This is the default for Tracks 2 and 3.
Bit Density
75 BPI
to change the bits per inch to 75 BPI.
Note: This is the default for Track 2.
128 BPI
to change the bits per inch to 128 BPI.
210 BPI
to change the bits per inch to 210 BPI.
Note: This is the default for Tracks 1 and 3.
Custom BPI
, which enables the custom BPI text box.
Note: The lower limit is 75 and upper limit is 210.
LRC Generation
No LRC
to change the LRC Generation to none.
Even Parity
to change the LRC Generation to Even Parity.
Note: This is the default for all tracks.
Odd Parity
to change the LRC Generation to Odd Parity.
Character Parity
No Parity
to change the Character Parity to none.
Even Parity
to change the Character Parity to Even Parity.
Odd Parity
to change the Character Parity to Odd Parity.
Note: This is the default for all tracks.
Reverse Bit Order
Reverse Bit Order
is used to reverse the character bits and is used for the encryption
of data in specific programs
Add Leading
Zeros
Add Leading Zeros
is used to add a set number of leading zeros to the magnetic string
in order to move the starting point of the encoded data in specific programs for
encryption of data.
Raw Binary
Encoding
The Raw Binary Encoding option will send down a raw binary string rather than a
formatted set of characters.
The Coercivity drop-down function is active and the Shift Data Left checkbox is not
active.
All functions on the Magnetic Track Options tabs are inactive except for Bit Density.
JIS II Encoding
If you select JIS II Encoding, specific standards are used.
This selection disables all the Magnetic Track Options tabs. It also disables the
Coercivity drop-down function and Shift Data Left checkbox option.
The default
Coercivity is 600 Oe
.
