Register the PED with the Adyen payments platform

Do this when you connect the PED for the first time (and it is not yet registered), or when the PED is in a device state where tenders can not be processed. Retrieve the device state by looking at the Device State of the PED object under control of the cash register.

Invoking a RefreshPED on the PED object causes a PEDStateChange callback. Use this to update and validate the device state prior to starting a tender on the PED.

The cash register should not invoke a RegisterPED for every tender to be processed.

You can register more than one PED on the library with the RegisterPED method. The cash register performs tenders on the PED of choice. All callbacks relating to tender progress include a PED object to allow the cash register to decide if any action is required.
