Abstract
Programming fixtures are provided that program devices, such as payment cards, with data, such as personal data, using light transmitters and receivers. A code sequence may be entered into the devices to transition the devices into one of several test modes. Pressing a button may cause diagnostic data to be communicated by the device. Pressing another button may cause default data to be communicated by the device. A personalization test module may capture the diagnostic data and/or default data to document and/or verify operation of the device.
