DTM presets

The program description deals with the following:


Remarks on program function

The parameters for the presets of the DTM upgrade can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which already exists can also be displayed for information.

Note:
The functionality of the DTM upgrades in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program is retained after entry of path ..\fglDTM in the environment variable OSCAR_FGLPATH in initialisation file oscar.ini. Call up the FGL file "dofglDTM.fgl" with the language required (e.g. oscar dofglDTM.fgl Deutsch) so that the windows of the DTM update programs required are generated. The application program DTM has to be configured with update program System -> Menu -> Applications.

Note:
A Process unit of type Oscar Client should be programmed for the application program type DTMClient. The name of the application should be entered in field Program name. The option "with graphic" should be set for the relevant processing unit so that the DTM order can be shown on the screen.
