vhl_read

This function reads the memory area which is stored in a VHL function previously stored in
the reader. The "VHLFile" parameter is used to reference the VHL function stored in the
reader. With the configuration stored in the reader ex works, you can read out an ISO 15693
transponder from address 0 via "VHLFile = 255".
When a card is located in the antenna field and the function was completed, the status "OK"
is returned.
Note that this function always returns the return value "CARD_NOT_SELECTED_ERR"
when a card is displayed to the reader without the "vhl_select" function being executed first.
