4.5 eMRTD Reader
The eMRTD Reader program is a tool for the detailed analysis of ePassports and their communications with the
scanner. It is very useful if you need to understand how the 3M
TM
RTE8000 HS interacts with ePassports and
the features available in the 3M
TM
Page Reader SDK. It can also be used to analyse the contents of an
ePassport.
The eMRTD Reader program can be started by double clicking the eMRTD Reader desktop icon or going to the
3M Page Reader group in the Start -> Programs menu. The introductory screen looks like this:
The program is split into 7 tabs, as follows:
1. Passport displays generic information about the current passport in the Details list,
and displays the progress of the current read.
2. Data Groups displays all the data groups returned and validated.
3. DG1 displays the decoded DG1 MRZ/codeline data.
4. DG2 displays the decoded DG2 face image.
5. DG3 displays the decoded DG3 fingerprint images (if available).
6. Timings displays how long each item took to download.
7. Messages displays information, warning and error messages generated during a
document read.
