Programming Languages
- The ZON and Tranz series are programmed in a proprietary alphabetic scripting language called TCL, or Terminal Control Language. This language has no relationship to the similarly named UNIX-related language tcl. These terminals used variants of the Z80 8-bit processor.
- Older models of the Omni series were based on an operating system called TXO, or Transaction eXpress Options, and the programming language was TXO C. VeriFone had its own IDE for this platform. At machine level, the processors were still Z80 based micro-controllers.
- Newer models of the Omni series (numbers starting from 3300) were developed on Verix operating system (a variant of Linux). The processor used inside is Motorola 68000. Its programming language is also C programming language. Usually MSVC++ IDE is used for program editing, but the compilation is done by a cross-compiler called SDS from WindRiver Systems.
- The newest VerixV terminals (with names beginning with Vx) are essentially remakes of the newer Omni series, but with ARM processors instead of Motorola. Verix V is spoken "Verix Vee", not "Verix five". MSVC++ is still used as IDE, but the cross-compiler is RealView Compilation Tool for ARM.

Famous quotes containing the words programming and/or languages:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“It is time for dead languages to be quiet.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
