• PADCOM - Handles all the protocol necessary to communicate to the
connected unit. Implements an operating system dependent RS-232
communications protocol. PADCOM links a C/C++ application on the
CPU to the Transaction Team hardware. DOS, WIN16 and WIN32
PADCOM libraries are supplied for Microsoft and Borland applications
development.
• SIGKIT - Aimed at post-processing signature data gathered from the unit
using PadCom. SIGKIT handles signature storage and retrieval and
allows a C/C++ application to utilize signatures. DOS, WIN16 and WIN32
SIGKIT libraries are supplied for Microsoft and Borland application
development.
The SDK Tool Kit include the following ActiveX OCX control to be used to
develop your own applications in conjunction with an ActiveX compatible
development environment (Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc.) for use with the
TT1500:
• SIGBOX - Applications use SIGBOX to link to the Transaction Terminal
hardware. SIGBOX handles signature/Point-of-Sale data storage and
retrieval. SIGBOX combines the functionality exposed in both the SIGKIT
and PADCOM libraries. 16 and 32-bit OCX’s are supplied for application
development.
For further detailed information on the SDK Tool Kit components, refer to the
respective user guides that are placed on you PC during installation.
Contents of the SDK Utilities
The Software Utilities includes the following applications that can be used with
the TT1500 to demonstrate its capabilities:
• GETSIG for DOS and GETSIGW for Windows - GETSIG/GETSIGW can
be used as a standalone program for capturing, saving, loading,
displaying, and converting signatures. It can place signatures on the
Windows clipboard. It works like a dialog box that can be called from other
programs. For example, an MS Word macro can call GETSIG to display
a dialog box that captures a signature and places it on the Windows
clipboard, and then pastes it into a Word document. A shortcut can be
created to capture or display signatures using GETSIG as a dialog box.
• SIGTOOL (for Windows) - SIGTOOL works as a stand alone program.
SIGTOOL can view and can capture signatures from the Transaction
Team hardware. SIGTOOL can save, load, compress, and alter
signatures. SIGTOOL can convert signatures to different formats and can
copy signatures to the Windows clipboard
• TESTER (for Windows) - Tester is used only for testing Transaction Team
hardware (MSR, Signature Capture, Graphics, PINPad).
