Most, if not all development is done with beta-packs.
Connect the reader, change the script, disconnect, the new PRS+ beta code is loaded, test, get some traces logged
Code:
var log;
log = Core.log.getLogger(">YourHeaderHere<");
..
log.trace('>your trace message here<', + somevar);
...
catch (e) { log.error('>your error message here<', e)}
connect to USB, check the log, aso.
