rf1996.open('COM5', function(err) { // Open device connected to certain COM port
	var val = null;
	if(!err) {
		var device = rf1996.device(); // Read connected device info
		console.log(device);
		/*
			Example output: { 
				port: '\\\\.\\COM5',
				device: 'Adapter RF-1996-125 Khz',
				serial: '820',
				model: '2081',
				firmware: '418',
				license: 'License 01.01.2016',

			}
		*/

		rf1996.clear();

		rf1996.write({ // Writes [0099] 125,00123
			brackets: 99,
			group: 125,
			decimal: 123
		});

		setInterval(function() {
			var data = rf1996.read(); // Read card data
			if(data.emMarine != val && data.emMarine != '[0000] 000,00000') {
				val = data.emMarine;
				console.log(data);
				/*
					Example output: { 
						card: 'Temic protected by password',
						temic: 'b3 c5 da 4F fc b2 aa b5 ',
						emMarine: '[0000] 000,00582',
						locksLimit: '1',
						locks: '0',
						battery: 'Discharged'
					}
				*/ 
			} else if(data.emMarine != val && data.emMarine == '[0000] 000,00000' && val != null) {
