Remarks

Holds the current service. The value 0 represents the primary service, while values greater than 0 and less than or equal to ServiceCount are used to request information from the integrated services. Legal values range from 0 to ServiceCount. The ReadCashCounts method and all the properties, common and specific, can be accessed when the CurrentService is greater than 0. CurrentService, ServiceCount and ServiceIndex always reflects the primary service.

Later in this topic are examples of a cash changer service that use services for a separate Coin Acceptor, Dispenser, and a bills-only cash changer. A StatusUpdateEvent that indicates a jam has been received by the application. Only the bill changer and the coin dispenser can detect a jam.

  • Checking the values of the primary service:

    CurrentService = 0

    ServiceCount = 3

    ServiceIndex = 50528769 (X'03030201')

    DeviceStatus = Jam

    DeviceDescription = "Integrated Cash Changer Service 1.11.05"

  • Changing the service for information about the coin dispenser:

    CurrentService = 2

    ServiceCount = 3

    ServiceIndex = 50528769 (X'03030201')

    DeviceStatus = OK

    DeviceDescription = "Pennybrite Coin Dispenser Service"

  • The coin dispenser looks OK. Check the bill changer:

    CurrentService = 3

    ServiceCount = 3

    ServiceIndex = 50528769 (X'03030201')

    DeviceStatus = Jam

    DeviceDescription = "Benjamin Bill Changer Service"

This property is initialized to 0 by the Open method.
