When developing host software, it is important to note that mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel is a
combination of two devices integrated into a common enclosure:
•
mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel's primary control unit and chip card reader is MagTek's mDynamo.
When the host communicates with the device through the USB port, it is communicating directly with
mDynamo.
MagTek produces software development kits (SDKs) with API libraries that provide higher-level
functions wrapped around USB HID communication protocols. These libraries simplify the development
of custom host software that interfaces with mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel. See:
