4Programming
4.1 General information
We offer 5 different theme. The Themes defines where the buttons are place on the display, but all
appearance (background, texts, prices, buttons, desing, languages) can be modified easily by
replacing proper –jpeg files
You can find an SD card in your display (Item9). It includes the software started at each booting by
the touchscreen and all of the .jpeg files. Please never remove the config.exe and the autoexec.ini
files from there.
In the root of the SD card you need to have the config.exe
The program works from the \Storage Card\touchsoft\ folder, you need to have the files you wish to
use in this folder.
.exe-the touchsoft template program
autoexec.bat (with proper calibration),
logo.jpg (pic at starting),
\pictures folder the pictures going to appear in the display.
oYou can find here 5 screensaver files (screensaver.jpg) These files are going to
activated after 10 minutes and going to change repetitively after 10 seconds
oYou can find in certain themes language .jpeg files
oYou can find an info .jpeg file
oIn sub directories (lang1-3) you can find the language backgrouns (if applies) and the
button .jpg files. There are 2 versions of the buttons, unpushed and pushed.
The display is rotated 90degrees from its original position, so all pictures should be also rotated to
appear properly.
