Workstation 5A Platform Software

In addition to the Operating System, Platform Software consists of several key
components developed by MICROS specifically for the workstation. Each
component listed below is pre-loaded on the workstation when shipped.
• Device drivers for video, network, and sound specific to the processor and
chipset platform.
• The WS5A Application Programming Interface (API), to allow application
programs to access the POS hardware and ports.
• A Workstation Diagnostics Utility that uses the WS5A API to test the
integrated and peripheral components of workstation.
• The MICROS Client Application Loader for WIN32 (CAL 32), an
intelligent agent designed to remotely manage software installed on the
workstation.

Utilities

Utilities included with the Workstation 5A platform include the Client
Application Loader (CAL), a Diagnostics Utility for testing the unit, and a
custom screen saver/backlight utility.

POS Application

software, but does not contain a POS Application.
