Namespace: Microsoft.PointOfService
Assembly: Microsoft.PointOfService (in microsoft.pointofservice.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Property TracksToRead As MsrTracks

public abstract MsrTracks TracksToRead { get; set; }

public:
virtual property MsrTracks TracksToRead {
    MsrTracks get () abstract;
    void set (MsrTracks value) abstract;
}

/** @property */
public abstract MsrTracks get_TracksToRead ()

/** @property */
public abstract void set_TracksToRead (MsrTracks value)

public abstract function get TracksToRead () : MsrTracks

public abstract function set TracksToRead (value : MsrTracks)

Remarks

Possible values are defined by the MsrTracks enumeration.

Decreasing the required number of tracks can provide a greater swipe success rate and somewhat greater responsiveness by removing the processing for unaccessed data.

TracksToRead does not indicate a capability of the MSR device, but instead is an application-configurable property indicating from which track(s) data will be obtained, potentially decoded, and returned if possible. Some situations will always prevent the receipt of data: for example, an ISO-type card swiped through a JIS-II read head, or a card with no data in some tracks.

TracksToRead is typically initialized to Tracks123.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread-safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
