Using the CheckReader Trace Facility

About this task

The CheckReader Trace Facility can be activated by setting the service definition trace attribute value to yes. An activation of the console trace causes all the characters (byte sized data) going to and from the device to be written to the console. Byte values exceeding 32 (in decimal notation) are converted to their ASCII representations. All other values are shown in hexadecimal notation (each value is appended to "0x" which indicates a hexadecimal value). Incoming messages are appended to "Rx: " and outgoing messages are appended to "Tx:".

This facility is designed for debugging purposes. It may be useful as a tool to verify that there is data interchange with the device and to verify that the correct protocol sequences are being followed.
