Reader Output Data Format
Clock and Data
The default data output format from the ACTpro MIFARE DESFire EV1 readers is Clock and Data encoded as
10 BCD digits (also known as Magnetic Stripe Track2 or ABA).
Wiegand
The reader can be configured to output Wiegand formatted data rather that the default clock & data, by
connecting the Sense line to 0V before powering on the reader, this will switch the unit to 37bit Wiegand
output mode.
