SpringCard Calypso Explorer 1.10

SpringCard's Calypso Explorer is a free software utility that can be used to read and interpret the content of Calypso cards, which are widely used by major transport operators. The utility includes two programs: Calypso XML Dump, a command line interface written in C that reads the files of a Calypso card and exports the decoded records as XML files, and Calypso Explorer, a graphical user interface that allows users to explore the contents of their Calypso card.

SpringCard contactless readers are often used together with Calypso cards, that are used worldwide by some major transport operators (‘Navigo’ in Paris for instance). We are now offering for free two software utilities we’ve developed to retrieve and explain the content of those cards :
- Calypso XML Dump is a CLI written in C that reads the files of a Calypso card (’1TIC.ICA’ card application), applies Intercode rules to decode the records, and export the result as XML files. This is convenient to make dumps of cards for later processing.
- Calypso Explorer is a .NET based software with an ‘explorer-like’ GUI. It also reads the files and applies the Intercode rules, then directly show the result in its window.
