Run Macros.exe lets you run macros on local and remote QwikTouchPro hosts from a command line.

eg:  RunMacros.exe

       IP=192.168.0.1

       PORT=7777

      QME=”ShowBreakfastMenu.qme”

(QME=QwikTouchPro Macro Event, or *.qme file) 

This example would display a Breakfast Menu on the QwikTouchPro host running on 192.168.0.1.

You can combine this with the Windows Task Scheduler (or any scheduling software) to schedule QwikTouchPro Macros.

For example, if you had 2 QwikTouchPro displays - a Food Menu and a Drink Menu, you could show different menus at different times of day -

RunMacros.exe supports any QwikTouchPro Macro Export, so anything you can do from the Macro Editor can be done from the command line, scheduling software or 3rd party application.

Something like could be placed in a liquor store and can even print custom receipts based off the drink the user has selected (e.g. if the recipe contains Vodka, print a coupon for a particular brand along with the directions for making the drink).

The video starts out with a couple of sample “idle” templates that are cycled through when the KIOSK has been idle. 

Once the user touches the screen they can scroll and filter the list of drinks, as well as view and print the ingredients and instructions for a drink.
