functions use this timeout value to wait for the device to respond. By default the timeout is 5 seconds.
ULONG MTMICRSetTimeout (
DWORD dwMilliSeconds
);
Parmeters

#define DEVICE_NAME_LEN 128
int i=1;
DWORD dwResult;
char cDeviceName[DEVICE_NAME_LEN]="";

{
if (MTMICROpenDevice (cDevicesNames) == MICR_ST_OK)
{
