5-5
This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 1. Bit position zero
indicates if there was an error decoding track 1 if the bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no
error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode
error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for
the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.
TRACK 2 DECODE STATUS
Bits 7-1
0
Value Reserved Error
This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 2. Bit position zero
indicates if there was an error decoding track 2 if this bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no
error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode
error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for
the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.
TRACK 3 DECODE STATUS
Bits 7-1
0
Value Reserved Error
This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 3. Bit position zero
indicates if there was an error decoding track 3 if this bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no
error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode
error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for
the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.
TRACK 1 DATA LENGTH
This one-byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 1 data
field. This value will be zero if there was no data on the track or if there was an error
decoding the track.
TRACK 2 DATA LENGTH
This one-byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 2 data
field. This value will be zero if there was no data on the track or if there was an error
decoding the track.
TRACK 3 DATA LENGTH
This one-byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 3 data
