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

$oScmd = ObjCreate("Chilkat.ScMinidriver")

; Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
; via List Readers or Find Smart Cards
Local $sReaderName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
$bSuccess = $oScmd.AcquireContext($sReaderName)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oScmd.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; If we are successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
Local $sCardName = $oScmd.CardName
ConsoleWrite("Card name: " & $sCardName & @CRLF)

; Also, the ATR of the inserted card is available (you will likely not need the ATR).
ConsoleWrite("ATR: " & $oScmd.Atr & @CRLF)

; Also, the maximum number of key containers is readily available:
ConsoleWrite("Max number of key containers = " & $oScmd.MaxContainers & @CRLF)

; Delete the context when finished with the card.
$bSuccess = $oScmd.DeleteContext()
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oScmd.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
EndIf

; Sample output:

; Card name: IDPrime MD T=0
; ATR: 3B7F96000080318065B0855956FB120FFE829000
; Max number of key containers = 20
