MT-95 RS-232 HiCo/LoCo Encoder/Reader
32
Examples of /T response:
Track 2 enabled only “Enabled Tracks: 2”
Tracks 1 and 3 enabled “Enabled Tracks: 1 3”
No tracks enabled “Enabled Tracks:”
Track 3 enabled only “Enabled Tracks: 3”
Example of
/C response:
P/N: 30060819 Rev: J06
Enabled Tracks 1 2 3
Encode Mode:
Automatically switch coercivity
Read/Write Mode: Normal (encode without first reading)
Serial data: 9600 Baud, 7 Data bits, Even parity, 1 Stop bit(s)
Each line ends with a carriage return/line feed pair (0x0D/0x0A).
ONLINE ENCODE FORMATS
If more than one track is to be encoded, the track information must be enclosed in an
<STX>/<ETX> bracket (
<STX> data <ETX>
).
% data ?
= Track 1 ISO data (6 data bits, 1 odd parity bit)
; data ?
= Track 2 ISO data (4 data bits, 1 odd parity bit)
+ data ?
= Track 3 ISO data (4 data bits, 1 odd parity bit)
# data ?
= Track 3 ISO data (6 data bits, 1 odd parity bit)
These Start sentinel values (“
%
”, “
;
”, “
+
”, “
#
”) are used by the Encoder to determine which
track to put the data on. The actual encoded start sentinels are as follows:
Track l:
%
Track 2:
;
Track 3:
;
(for 5-bit data)
%
(for 7-bit data)
Examples are as follows:
