Unitech Shuttle C SG-15 Colour 27
4.1 SOFTWARE
The Shuttle C is a thin-client, front-end Price Checker. Its behavior is very easily
configurable and fully determined by the software package, driving the Shuttle C
from the Back-Office/server. This software package (or: added value) will be
supplied by the System Integrator. This is because of the fact that there are no
set international standards with regard to product database structures and/or
programming languages. Furthermore it is not Unitech´s primary role to supply
end-user application software.
ATTENTION
4.1.1 Software functionality
The global function of the Shuttle C software package, running on the
Back-Office/server, is:
1. Set-up and maintain communication between the application itself and the
Shuttle
C terminal(s).
2. Provide product information (e.g. article name and price) from the store’s
database, combined with the right font size and layout.
3. Diagnostics & Terminal Statistics (optional).
The PC55 Colour Product Support Library contains a framework of
software tools which includes an Ethernet driver and a complete
demo application (including free of charge source code).
This makes it very easy to create a server application
in no time at all.
These objects are available for both Windows and Linux
