Data Editing
Qualifier
The Qualifier section defines the conditions that must be present for
the mag stripe data to be modified, such as which track it must be
from (Track I, Track II, etc.) or what characters (defined by a match
string) the mag stripe data must contain.
When the conditions of the Qualifier are met, the data is then modi-
fied according to the rules defined in the “Modifier”, below.
Modifier
The Modifier section contains three selections: “From Original”,
“Add New”, and “Delete”.
The Start Parameter defines the
beginning of the string of data that is
to be output. The start parameter
can either be defined by position
starting from the beginning (“From
Position”), or a specific number of
From Original extracts the desired
data from each track.
characters from the end of the string (“From Last Position”), or a
specified number of characters before or after a user-defined charac-
ter string (“After Matching”).
The End Parameter defines the end of the string of data that is to
be output. Three options are available: “Number Of Characters To
Be Output”, “All Remaining”, and “After Matching”. The first two are
self-explanatory. “After Matching” defines the end as a specified
number of characters before or after a user-defined character string.
Data Editing is a powerful function that can give you tremendous
control over how data is exported from the reader.
After clicking on “Data Editing” the
data editing icons become active.
Click on the icon with the blue
circle and white plus sign.
The “Define Formula” pop-up box to
the right appears, which is divided
into two sections: “Qualifier” and
“Modifier”.
