Configuring screenFOOD

Configuration files
  • ..\parameter\client\flow\screenFoodConfigs.properties
  • ..\parameter\client\flow\executeCommandOperationsConfigs.properties

screenFOOD provides digital content for the POS Client. The content position on the screen and the content itself is completely defined by the screenFOOD application. The POS Client just provides status updates so that the digital content can depend on the current POS state.

Using service functions, it is possible to start and stop the screenFOOD application.

To configure the POS Client to use screenFOOD, proceed as follows:

  1. Enable the screenFOOD Service in the file screenFoodConfigs.properties:
    ScreenFoodConfigs.Default.enable=true
  2. Enter the location where the screenFOOD status file shall be stored in the file screenFoodConfigs.properties:
    ScreenFoodConfigs.Default.statusFileAddress=C:/sysmgt/sw/screenFOOD/Data/Settings/status.txt
  3. Adjust the path to the screenFOOD executables for the service functions to start and stop the screenFOOD application in file executeCommandOperationsConfigs.properties:
    ExecuteCommandOperationConfigs.StartScreenFood.command=
     C:/sysmgt/sw/screenFOOD/Applications/screenFOODSupervision.exe
    ExecuteCommandOperationConfigs.StopScreenFood.command=
    C:/sysmgt/sw/screenFOOD/Applications/screenFOODShutdown.exe
