How In the uDemo, performing an MSR read can retrieve non-payment data (e.g., test a gift card for a non-payment application). Follow the steps below to get the MSR data for non-payment applications (employee, gift cards, and so on) with the an Augusta working in the HID mode?In the USDK Demo, you can start the MSR and do the swipe  (e.g. test gift card) and get the data. Do you have a guideline on how to achieve this?A: 

There is a sequence of commands that need to be sent to capture the MSR data with the reader working in buffer mode (refer to 4.3.4 Buffer Mode of the Augusta IDG for detail).  Here are the general stepsdetails):

1) Ensure the reader is in the Buffer mode by sending the (73 52 01 1A) and check . Check the response to confirm it's on "32"2) the reader is set to 32.

Send the Arm to Read command (73 46 50 01 30) and make sure to you receive an ACK response "response  of 06" (refer to 11.19 Arm To Read of the  in the Augusta IDG for details).

3) Repeatedly send the  the Read Buffer Data command (73 46 51 01 30 for any MSR track data) and check the response ( (refer to 4.3.4 Buffer Mode of the Augusta IDG for possible responses) until it times out or the card is swiped.

4) Receiving Receive the card data from the data buffer5) You can dis-arm .

Disarm the MSR by sending the (73 50 01 32) at any time of the pulling or sending the Set buffer mode point when pulling the data or send the Set Buffer Mode command (73 53 01 1a 1A 01 32) as what the uDemo does once after the data is received to ensure it the reader stays in the buffered mode.
