PAYLINK and Note Acceptor VEGA-RC (with recycler)

[desarrollo1]

I'm developing a kiosk with paylink and the note acceptor VEGA-RC using CCTALK protocol. And the control software is being developed in Java.

I'm using the value returned by CurrentUpdates to detect when a note is accepted or dispensed by VEGA-RC, and it's working. But for dump operation this value doesn't change until it finish to dump all notes, and this can take a long time.
I'm also working with MEI SCR note acceptor and with this device CurrentUpdates value changes for every dumped note.

I don't want to call the method 'ReadDispenserDetails' in a loop to check dispenser coinCount if there isn't any changes.

My questions:
- Does this method 'CurrentUpdates' change the way it works for different devices? I mean, is it device feature to return information during a dump?
- Is there other alternative to check if a note is dumped?

Paylink provides as much information to the application as it can.

Differences such as the one you've observed are as a result of the operation of the peripheral - the SCR allows access to this information, the Vega doesn't.

Ok. I'll keep in mind for other devices.
Thank you.
