OPOS & Microsoft .NET. An Microsoft .NET application wishing to utilize retail devices has at least two available approaches. OPOS via COM Interop Microsoft .NET's COM interoperability support allows straightforward integration of the OPOS Common Control Objects into .NET applications. One can directly reference COM objects, and Visual Studio will build the required interoperability layer. Alternatively, available below are OPOS CCO interoperability assemblies created by the Microsoft TLBIMP utility. All use the "POS.Devices" namespace, and the class names are consistent with the CCO names. Creating an instance of the class will instantiate the corresponding OPOS CCO, after which time one may call OPOS methods and properties, plus add handlers for events.
A typical .NET POS application will include the following in its software stack. Application. The pre-built assemblies plus a sample application may be found below. POS for .NET Microsoft's Point of Service for .NET is currently at version 1.12. POS for .NET v1.12 SDK Documentation.
Templates. Overloading operators Classes, essentially, define new types to be used in C++ code. And types in C++ not only interact with code by means of constructions and assignments. They also interact by means of operators. For example, take the following operation on fundamental types: Here, different variables of a fundamental type (int) are applied the addition operator, and then the assignment operator. For a fundamental arithmetic type, the meaning of such operations is generally obvious and unambiguous, but it may not be so for certain class types. Here, it is not obvious what the result of the addition operation on b and c does. Operators are overloaded by means of operator functions, which are regular functions with special names: their name begins by the operator keyword followed by the operator sign that is overloaded.
Type operator sign (parameters) { /*... body ...*/ } For example, cartesian vectors are sets of two coordinates: x and y. Both expressions are equivalent. For example: Variables. Data Types. The usefulness of the "Hello World" programs shown in the previous chapter is rather questionable. We had to write several lines of code, compile them, and then execute the resulting program, just to obtain the result of a simple sentence written on the screen. It certainly would have been much faster to type the output sentence ourselves.
However, programming is not limited only to printing simple texts on the screen. In order to go a little further on and to become able to write programs that perform useful tasks that really save us work, we need to introduce the concept of variable. Let's imagine that I ask you to remember the number 5, and then I ask you to also memorize the number 2 at the same time. You have just stored two different values in your memory (5 and 2). Now, if I ask you to add 1 to the first number I said, you should be retaining the numbers 6 (that is 5+1) and 2 in your memory. We can now define variable as a portion of memory to store a value. Identifiers. Dali commandset. Fast Accurate Memory Test Suite | Netrino. By Michael Barr If ever there was a piece of embedded software ripe for reuse it's the memory test. This article shows how to test for the most common memory problems with a set of three efficient, portable, public-domain memory test functions.
One piece of software that nearly every embedded developer must write at some point in his career is a memory test. Often, once the prototype hardware is ready, the board's designer would like some reassurance that she has wired the address and data lines correctly, and that the various memory chips are working properly. Even if that's not the case, it is desirable to test any onboard RAM at least as often as the system is reset. At first glance, writing a memory test may seem like a fairly simple endeavor. The purpose of a memory test is to confirm that each storage location in a memory device is working. Of course, a memory test like the one just described is necessarily destructive.
Common memory problems Electrical wiring problems Figure 1. CRC Implementation Code in C | Netrino. By Michael Barr CRCs are among the best checksums available to detect and/or correct errors in communications transmissions. Unfortunately, the modulo-2 arithmetic used to compute CRCs doesn't map easily into software. This article shows how to implement an efficient CRC in C. I'm going to complete my discussion of checksums by showing you how to implement CRCs in software. For most software engineers, the overwhelmingly confusing thing about CRCs is their implementation. Modulo-2 binary division Before writing even one line of code, let's first examine the mechanics of modulo-2 binary division. Figure 1. The modulo-2 division process is defined as follows: Call the uppermost c+1 bits of the message the remainder Beginning with the most significant bit in the original message and for each bit position that follows, look at the c+1 bit remainder: If the most significant bit of the remainder is a one, the divisor is said to divide into it.
