    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
    //  about your smartcard. 

    //  The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

    //  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.

    //  Chilkat provides functions to get information about the smartcard, and what it contains.
    //  Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

    var scmd = new chilkat.ScMinidriver();

    //  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
    //  via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
    var readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0";
    success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(scmd.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.EmitCompact = false;

    //  ------------------------------------------------------
    //  3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
    //  ------------------------------------------------------
    success = scmd.GetCardProperties(json);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(scmd.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log(json.Emit());

    //  ------------------------------------------------------
    //  4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
    //  ------------------------------------------------------
    json.Clear();
    success = scmd.GetCspContainerMap(json);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(scmd.LastErrorText);
        return;
