IDTECH protocol is recommended.
WorkShop Window
WorkShop operates from this window. There are several areas (boxes) within the window.
Above each box is a descriptive label. Starting from the top left, the Message box provides
a “result” of the last operation. The information in the Message box shown below is the
result of opening the connection to a Reader/Writer and it shows the firmware version
number & date. The Card Type box on the right indicates the current selected data format
for reading or writing a magnetic stripe. This is the only box with a pull-down menu. More
information is provided in a following section. The next three boxes are text boxes; there is
one for each track. Either the text boxes provide a display of the data characters to be
written to a stripe or the data read from a stripe, depending on the current function being
performed. If there is no data in a text box, then that corresponding track is not active
during the operation. There are ten function buttons along the bottom. Each of the
functions is explained separately in the following sections.
