The "CardTypeMask" parameter allows only specific card families to be selected. If you want
to select all cards supported by the hardware of the reader, you need to set the parameter to
"0xFFFF". The more significant half byte of the "CardType" parameter specifies the card
family (1-6) while the less significant half byte (X) refers to the recognized card type.

Parameter
Description
vhl_select
With this parameter you select a card located in the antenna field.
Handle
The session key returned by the function "brp_open_usb_session".
CardTypeMask
With this parameter you specify the card family to be recognized. If you
want all card families to be recognized, set the parameter to the value
"0xFFFF".
Reselect
The parameter decides whether the card should be reselected.
AllowConfig
This value is "true" when a configuration card is to be read. In normal oper-
ation, the value must be set to "false" to prevent an unintentional ac-
ceptance of the reader configuration.
CardType
The returned value indicates the card type.
