Output Test Area
Image 51: Output Test Area
This is the test area for the keystrokes entered by the reader. On serial devices this displays the
unsolicited serial port data.
The Auto GetID box can be checked for the utility to poll the reader for a card ID every 500 milliseconds
and displays the results directly under the checkbox, as seen in Image 34.

The Auto Focus box keeps the cursor in the test area box to capture the keystrokes output by the
device.
When the Auto Focus box is checked, it is possible that the selection may conflict with the menus
and drop downs, due to the fact that the cursor will attempt to move back into the test area. If this
problem arises, simply uncheck the box.
The Auto Clear box auto selects all text in the Output Test Area, so that new keystrokes output by the
device will replace the old text.
The Clear button erases all text in the Output Test Area each time the user manually presses the clear
button.
The Test button (Green Flag) starts the batch file “testarea.bat” or script “testarea” to bring up a user’s
own application to view the readers keystrokes. It opens any keystroking capturing program (i.e.
notepad, wordpad etc).
