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 Scantech´s primary role to supply
end-user application software.
ATTENTION
The SG-15
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
