'  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
'  via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

set json = CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")

'  ------------------------------------------------------
'  3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties

If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
