Iso78.OpenSam

This command sets up a communication channel to a Secure Access Module (SAM) inserted into the reader. To select the SAM, you specify it using the LID parameter as described below. Once you've run this command successfully, you can run Iso78.ExchangeApdu to communicate with the SAM.

To close the communication channel after data exchange, run Iso78.CloseSam.
