Card Code Formats in SensorAccess Controllers 

for use in GuardPoint10

When SensorAccess controllers receive a card code from readers, they can convert this code into various formats. This allows different representations of the same card to be displayed in GuardPoint10.

Example: Wiegand Card with Code A1B2C3D4

Depending on the reader format selected in the Reader/Format screen, the code displayed in the GuardPoint10 log screen will differ:
