ACS Smart Card and Reader Tool 3.4

ACS Smart Card and Reader Tool by Advanced Card Systems Ltd. is a Windows utility for evaluating, testing, and troubleshooting ACS smart card readers and smart cards. It enumerates connected PC/SC-compatible ACS readers, shows card insertion/removal status and ATR information, and provides an interactive interface for sending APDU commands. The tool also supports reader control/escape commands for device-specific functions (such as buzzer or LED control on supported models), making it useful for development, QA, and field diagnostics without writing code.

• Detects and manages multiple ACS ACR-series contact and contactless readers via PC/SC
• Displays card ATR with basic parsing and status monitoring
• Interactive APDU sender with hex I/O and status word display
• Support for vendor-specific control/escape commands (model-dependent)
• Logging and export of command/response exchanges for troubleshooting
• Send sequences of APDUs and manage connections (connect, disconnect, warm/cold reset)

Notes:

• Requires installed PC/SC drivers for the target ACS reader
• Feature availability depends on the specific reader model and firmware
• Typically distributed free as part of ACS SDKs or via the ACS website
