HomeSYNOPSIS
ver = rdrhandle:version()
DESCRIPTION
Returns the firmware version string of the reader. The reader must be initialized before the version can be
retrieved.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a string if version information is available, or nil if not.
EXAMPLE
An example version string is:
CPU:"HBU-NA145","C",0x0083487B;ICC:"HBU-NA147","C",0x00273A39;SAM:"HBU-NA150","E",0x002EE8EE;TOTAL:"HBU-NA164","D",0x00E3B84B;
Broken down into a more readable form:
CPU:"HBU-NA145","C",0x0083487B;
ICC:"HBU-NA147","C",0x00273A39;
SAM:"HBU-NA150","E",0x002EE8EE;
TOTAL:"HBU-NA164","D",0x00E3B84B;
These are the version strings for the reader firmware components CPU, ICC, SAM and TOTAL. Each component has three version information fields: firmware type, firmware version and checksum.
Note that the V2BF does not have a SAM version. Additionally, it reports a MEM version.
