Connecting to Kiosk III/IV
The Kiosk III/IV connects through either USB or Serial Interface (COM).
5.1
Connect with USB:
The Kiosk III/IV uses USB-HID (Human Interface Device) and does not need any vendor-specific drivers. Simply by
plugging into an available USB port makes it available for SDK connectivity. To inform the SDK you are using the
USB interface of the Kiosk III/IV, you would execute the following command during program initialization to establish
a connection:
IDT_KioskIII.useUSB();
5.2
Connect with Serial Interface (COM)
The Kiosk III/IV can connect via Serial Interface. The serial port settings are as follows:
• Speed: 19,200
• Bits: 8
• Stop Bit: 1
• Parity: None
To inform the SDK you are using the Serial Interface of the Kiosk III, you would execute the following command
during program initialization to establish a connection by passing the correct COM port number. In the following
example, we are connecting to COM1 SRED device:
IDT_KioskIII.useSerialPort(1,
true
);
