DATA EDITING
The MiniMag has a data editing feature incorporated into its firmware.
This feature allows the data read from the magnetic stripe to be sent to
the host in the exact format expected by the host software, eliminating
the need for modifications to the application software.
The data (that is, the input record from the magnetic stripe) can be
divided up into a number of separate fields, according to established
standards (such as ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL). The data in each
of these fields can then be edited, and new fields can be defined using
the Data Edit commands.
The edited data fields are then transmitted to the host in any order
desired, regardless of their position on the original magnetic stripe.
