SOFTWARE ACCESSORIES
The following Software Modules may be required and will assist in the development of
application software. In addition, this software can provide an initial test platform for checkout
of the IntelliStripe 340.
•
IntelliStripe Picture Demo with MCP Driver:
P/N 30037472 (CD) or P/N 99510015 (Web Release)
This software will install both a Demo program and the MCP driver.
The Demo program is useful for initial checkout of the Reader’s functionality. The
MCP driver is recommended for use as the communications interface on Windows
based host systems. Application programmers can interface to the MCP driver via a
MagTek defined API.
•
Source Code for Picture Demo Program:
P/N 30037436
Visual Basic 6.0 source code for the Picture Demo program.
This will be useful to Application Programmers, as it shows examples of how to
interface with the MCP drivers and how to use the various commands.
•
MCP Utility Program:
P/N 30037442 (Floppy Disks) or P/N 99510020 (Web Release)
This is a utility program that interfaces with the MCP driver, and allows engineers to
send commands directly to the Reader per the defined MagTek Command Set. This is
useful for gaining an understanding of the commands used with the Reader. (Note:
This utility requires that the MagTek MCP drivers be previously installed.)
