Incorporating Help,Videos, Music, CAD Sketches or Other Applications

Within the ePOS dialog management any PC applications can be integrated. One condition is an appropriate user program (e.g. a CAD-program) or a driver (e.g. for videos) which supports these applications. Other applications like help data for example are supported directly by the management system.

The application can be called automatically at a certain point in the logic process so that music can be played when starting ePOS for example or a generated drawing can be displayed after configuring the product.

Another option is to allow the operator of this function to choose, for example via a button "Help", "Drawing" or "Video". The application is then started as part of the button logic.

In principle, all these applications are integrated in the same way. In the decision table the application is started via the ePOS-function f$Execute. Here the file name of the corresponding help file or video is given. By linking the file expansion with the application this is then executed - like double clicking the file in Windows Explorer.
