Turbo Export
This section is used to export Customer/Member details to the Turbo Gaming Systems and is designed for use in Australia only.

- Export Path - Select/Enter the path/folder to which the exported Customer/Members data will be written.
- Member Status - Enter from the following to determine how the records will be handled when they are imported into turbo and relate to the Member Status. Please note that these settings are only applicable to overwrite and update:
- 0 - Normal Member
- 1 - Pending Member
- 2 - Visitor
- Issue Numbers - As per the Turbo specification.
- Last Update Datetime - Set the date used to ensure only those Customer/Members will be exported from the SwiftPOS database that have had changes made since the date specified here.

Technical Information
Two files are used to control the turbo export, a member data file (mems.txt) and a semaphore file (Semaphore.tmp) which is used as a file lock. If the semaphore file does not exist then the export can be successfully run but if the semaphore file does exist it means that turbo has not yet processed the member data file so another export can not yet be run. Turbo will delete the semaphore file after successful import of the data file and checks for these files every 10 seconds so it is rare that the message will appear. The member data file is a fixed length file that is 46 characters in length, including the STX and ETX characters.
