Remarks on program function

Data of the internal OSAR application program, type Hardware Test can be updated with this program, i.e. new data can be programmed, other data can be changed or cleared. Stored data can also be displayed for information purposes.

Individual programs, depending on the program type, can be linked to the appropriate groups. The entry mask for the programs of each group can differ as data for the program call-up to be updated as per the program type.

Remarks on data fields

All options available for update of the basic data have been described below.

As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing.
There may be some defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry mask as are fields where entry is optional.
If the data record is updated over several pages of entry mask the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1> depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
