Issue
Is there a template to help create the custom AccessFormat array?
Product Line
Andover Continuum
Environment
Creating a Custom Card, Access Format array for non standard Wiegand formats
Cause
As there is sometimes confusion on the way that the bits are counted from 0 or 1 and how to use a Plain English program to initialize the array an easy way to lay out the data would be useful.
Resolution
The attached Excel spreadsheet works as a template to enter the Access Format data.

Enter your required Wiegand format bit definition in the box at the top, then this will allow you to define the numbers to go in the AccessFormat array lower left, which automatically fills in the example program on the right.
