Provides basic functionality for a generic Reader class, handling
serial and network communications, and low-level methods for sending commands
to a reader and receiving back replies.
Sets the default debug level, the reader timeout, whether to validate an
reader when it is opened, and creates a SerialManager if the serial comm
libraries are present.
This class allows the host to interact with Alien readers which use the Alien
Binary Reader Protocol, otherwise known as the DLE (Data Link Escape) protocol.
The AlienDLEObject class encapsulates the command and reply buffers used by
the AlienClassOEMReader class to allow a host to communicate with
Alien readers which use the Alien Binary Reader Protocol.
