Appendix B – NCR RealScan 7802
Initialization File
Overview
A default
realscan.ini
initialization file is placed into the share directory on the server
by the installation program when the server software on the CD is installed. The .ini file
must be on the server in the share directory and the RealScan 7802 units, which are
hard-coded to look for the
.ini
file in the share directory, must be able to find it or they
cannot be able to establish a connection to the network. The
realscan.ini
file is read by
every display on that network server once a communication link is established. The
.ini
file controls the behavior of every unit linked to that server.
As well as defining the defaults for text display, colors and wallpaper, the ini file
provides a way for the RealScan 7802 units to be grouped and access different
slideshows. For example, within a multi-department retail location, each department
can be running different slideshows at the same time, each one showing promotions or
teaser advertising tailored to that department's specific products. Slideshows can also be
changed as desired with specially created versions for holidays or sales events.
Real Time Clock
A real time clock display can be superimposed on the LCD screen as defined in the
realscan.ini file. The RealScan 7802 maintains an internal clock tick counter but does not
store ‘real time’. Date and time are initially set by the NTPServer and TZOffset modes in
the .ini file or with UnitConfig and should be periodically updated by the DateTime
mode from your server application. The host must be running an NTP or similar
timeserver that the application can access for the current date and time.
The clock display font, foreground and background colors, and position on the screen
are defined independently on the font used for text display. This is the only case where
two different fonts can be used at the same time. The clock feature is intended for
internal company purpose rather than for customers and may be used, for example, as a
time clock for employees to clock in and out of the store by scanning their ID cards
under the barcode reader.
