<p>Reference equipment including a reference card and a reference reader is provided fortesting electronic payment devices such as cards and card readers. The reference equipmentis designed to simulate the external behavior of a variety of payment devicesthat are currently or expected to be deployed in electronic payment systems. Further,the reference equipment is configured to subject devices under test to extremebehaviors which are expected in field use or which are representative of a largeclass of payment devices. The external behaviors may relate to functional parameters,for example, power consumption, resonance frequency, Q-factor, modulationdepth, noise, and timing. Exemplary reference devices are configured to exhibitrepresentative external behavior, which is an empirically determined averagebehavior of the product devices in the field. Use of the reference equipment forproduct specification compliance testing will enhance the interoperability ofproduct payment devices.</p> |
