HID, Indala/Motorola, Casi- Rusco, and others). The AIR ID Enroll, pcProx & pcProx USB readers are a more sophisticated design. The reader accepts commands as well as sends output data to the port. Each reader can operate in synchronous (via the software developer’s kit - SDK) or asynchronous mode.
