Description
Lists all the formats in the panel. All formats, new ones as well as the
eight default formats, are listed under Available Formats. This
information allows all readers by default to use all formats to try and
decipher card reads. The reader will then use every Available
Format(s) to decipher incoming card reads. Any cards presented with
formats that do not match the Available Format(s) are then reported
as an Invalid Format event.
Lists specific formats selected by the user from the Available
Formats list that the reader should use to decipher card reads. As
soon as a single format is placed in the Selected Formats column, the
reader begins to use only the selected format, ignoring any
unselected formats in the Available Formats list.
Cards presented with formats that do not match the Selected
Format(s) are then reported as an Invalid Format event, even if the
format is in the Available list. This selection is on a per reader basis-
-that is, each reader can have its own selected formats. Selections at
one reader do not affect another reader.
