Abstract
A process of scanning and evaluating binary data stored on a magnetic track of a magnetic storage card includes a calibration at the beginning of the scanning operation with certain information stored on the card and a determination of a calibrated time interval. A time curve of the output signal in the calibrated time interval is registered and compared to predefined curve patterns in order to determine deviation of the registered time curve from the curve patterns. A curve pattern showing a least deviation from the registered time curve is identified. The curve pattern may be selected on the basis of information obtained from a previously determined output signal curve. Also, the extreme values are detected to obtain information stored on the card.
