Member name	Description
Apdu	Same as Block mode except that the block of string data that contains commands and data sent to the SCR/W service object conforms to the ISO/IEC 7816 APDU (Application Protocol Data Units) standard for smart cards. ISO and EMV messaging formats are supported and selectable if the SCR/W has the capability to switch to one of these formats.

Transaction	Basic ASCII format for commands and data interchange.
Xml	A block of string data that contains commands and data is sent to the SCR/W service object. The application and the SCR/W service object agree to use a communication protocol and data format defined in this standard consistent with the XML Data Dictionary and XML schema guidelines as outlined in the NRF-ARTS IX Retail XML standard.
