Wiegand interface. The Wiegand interface is a de facto wiring standard which arose from the popularity of Wiegand effect card readers in the 1980s. It is commonly used to connect a card swipe mechanism to the rest of an access control system. The sensor in such a system is often a "Wiegand wire", based on the Wiegand effect, discovered by John ...
The IBM 1402 was a high-speed card reader/punch introduced on October 5, 1959 as a peripheral input/output device for the IBM 1401 computer. It was later used with other computers of the IBM 1400 series and IBM 7000 series product lines. [1] [2] It was adapted as the IBM 1622 Card Read-Punch for the IBM 1620 [3] and provided the basic design ...
A punched card is a flexible write-once medium that encodes data, most commonly 80 characters. Groups or "decks" of cards form programs and collections of data. The term is often used interchangeably with punch card, the difference being that an unused card is a "punch card," but once information had been encoded by punching holes in the card ...
IBM 711. The IBM 711 was a punched card reader used as a peripheral device for IBM mainframe vacuum tube computers and early transistorized computers. Announced on May 21, 1952, it was first shipped with the IBM 701. [1] Later IBM computers that used it were the IBM 704, the IBM 709, and the transistorized IBM 7090 and 7094 .
A card reader is a data input device that reads data from a card-shaped storage medium and provides the data to a computer. Card readers can acquire data from a card via a number of methods, including: optical scanning of printed text or barcodes or holes on punched cards, electrical signals from connections made or interrupted by a card's punched holes or embedded circuitry, or electronic ...
IBM 1287 Optical Reader. The IBM 1287 is an online reader that can optically scan printed paper tapes and cut form documents to generate input data for an IBM System/360 or System/370 host. It can read machine printed data as well as handprinted numbers and optical marks (based on installed model and features).
Instruction code - indicates the specific command, e.g., "select", "write data" P1-P2 2 Instruction parameters for the command, e.g., offset into file at which to write the data L c: 0, 1 or 3 Encodes the number (N c) of bytes of command data to follow 0 bytes denotes N c =0 1 byte with a value from 1 to 255 denotes N c with the same length
A memory card reader is a device for accessing the data on a memory card such as a CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard (MMC). Most card readers also offer write capability, and together with the card, this can function as a pen drive . Some printers and Smartphones have a built-in card reader, as do many laptops and the ...
