POS

Points of sales (POS) Actions enable the exchange of accompanying meta data between POS Management Systems and G-Scopes. With these actions payment processes can be documented consistently by video. The use of these actions for start and re-start of event recordings leads to the output of accompanying meta data in live video in G-View as well as in the storage of those in the video data base. The video sequences recorded via POS Actions can easily be retrieved in G-View using the accompanying meta data und special data filter dialogs (optional) Besides the actions POSStatus and POSData for the general integration into POS Management Systems there are also POS actions which belong to special G-Core modules. The actions FillingPumpStatus, TerminalArticleData and TerminalPaymentData are used by the module "HUTH". The module "HUTH" is a G-Core media plugin, which was developed by GEUTEBRUECK, to integrate filling station management systems of the manufacturer HUTH Elektronik Systeme GmbH into G-Scopes. The driver is compatible to HUTH Video Interface T400/T450/Maxi/mini V1.2. The actions InterfaceRawData and InterfaceRawAnswer are also used by the driver "HUTH". But they only serve for debugging and fault analysis purpose. They can also be used in general for any link that the concerned action supports - respectively uses these actions. The action BarcodeData serves as a general integration of barcode scanners.

Action name: InterfaceRawData (interface, time stamp, data)

Action category: notification

This action is used by the driver "HUTH". It serves only as a debug service and can also be used in general for any integration that supports or uses this action. The "HUTH" driver sends the action for each telegram it has received from the end device. The affected end device will be identified by the parameter "TerminalName". The "HUTH" driver can always build up numerous connections to different Huth devices. The driver then sends the alphanumerical value defined in its setup as "Interface name" The further parameter will be filled with video meta data by the driver.
