Custom RS-485 Format
Applies to RS-485 programming mode only.
To set the custom RS-485 format select Y from the menu. You will be prompted to enter a format string. This
format string can be up to 64 characters. Press ESC to cancel your entry.
The format specifiers are all preceded by a % character.
This example shows a format configured to output the site code then a colon. This is followed by the card
number then a question mark. This is concluded with the Wiegand data in the currently configured Wiegand
format.
The example shown above will output something similar to:
00034463:00003242?6A987CB0C
Where:
00034463
is the site code of the card read
00003242
is the card number of the card read
6A987CB0C
is the raw Wiegand data of the card read in the currently configured Wiegand format.
The b specifier outputs in hexadecimal format. In all other cases uppercase means hexadecimal format and
lowercase means decimal format. The definitions of each specifier is listed in the table below:
