Card Number Parsing

Start with Auto. If the number comes out wrong, watch the Live Reads panel and set a regex or format to match what the reader actually sends.

Format

Card Number Regex (optional)

Group 1 is the card number. Overrides Format.

Strip Leading Zeros

Wiegand 26-bit: the reader sends 7 ASCII hex characters (28 bits). The last 2 bits are padding; of the remaining 26, bits 1–8 are the facility code and bits 9–24 the card number, which is reported in decimal — e.g. 3DD9370 → facility 123, card 45678. Min Length and Strip Leading Zeros don't apply.
