Parsing F11
The Value Line Readers have the built-in ability to Parse the Card data into a couple of different Parsings. A Parsing is an
output format that is dependent on the Card data present. Simply define the Parsing conditions and then setup the
individual fields that you wish to have output. If the card data does not match any defined parsing conditions the data will
be output based on the current settings under F1 through F7, ie the default output mode.
Note: A Field Parsing version of the Classic Line Magnetic Stripe Readers is also available upon request from ID
Innovations Incorporated.
Parsing Number: Parsing 1
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
The Value Line Card Readers have the ability to parse multiple card formats. This Combo Box is used to view the settings
for each individual parsing. When you change the Parsing number in this Combo Box all other settings for the parsing are
changed to reflect the current settings for the selected Parsing.
Parsing Required
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
With this option checked the card data will only be transmitted to the computer if it matches one of the parsings. If you
want to have the Reader transmit the data with the default output format as defined under F1-F7 be sure to leave this
option unchecked.
Data Match On: Off
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This Combo Box defines the Track number that is to be used to match card data. This option can be set to Off, Track 1,
Track 2, Track 3, or “No Match Needed Always Parse”. By setting this option to “No Match Needed Always Parse” the
parsing will always be active for the current card data. If this option is set to a specific Track then the Parsing will only be
active if the Match String is found on the Track and Offset specified.
Match Offset: Start + 0
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This is used to specify the Offset for the beginning of the Match String. For example setting this option to Start + 0
indicates that the Match String must be found at the first character position of the card data. Likewise setting this option to
End – 0 indicates that the Match String should be found at the end of the card data.
Note: It is important to note that End – 0 is the LRC character of the specific Track.
Match String:
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This is the string that is required to be present at the Match Offset on the Track specified for the Parsing to be activated.
In addition to normal text characters you may enter any special characters required by specify the $ and the Hex value for
the character. For a list of all of the HEX values and the keys that they represent, refer to Appendix-A, Special Characters
Table.
Field Definitions:
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This List box contains a single line summary of each field defined within the current parsing. Simply click on the field listed
and the settings for the field will be displayed to the right of the list box. A check by a field in the list box indicates that the
field has been defined.
Track: Off
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This Combo Box is used to indicate on which Track the field can be found. By setting this option to Off the field is
considered not defined for the Parsing.
Starting Offset: Start + 0
Classic Line: Value Line: ;
This setting is used to indicate the start of the field on the Track specified.
