Enter Data Storage and Display Options
The options for data storage and display include length of time to store sales records, the level of
detail saved in these records, the type of data stored for hourly sales reports and the schedule log
storage length.
n To enter data storage and display options:
1. Access the Configuration screen. (See Access
Configuration Options in this section.)
2. Click Data.
Archive Records
Archive records for a specific
date are only created at the
computer when you archive
and clear sales (Z) on that
date.
The archive record storage
length is the amount of time
the computer keeps archive
records. This determines
what data is available for
archive reports. If your
storage length is 3 months,
you won't be able to run
Infinity reports on any data
further back than 3 months.
3. Select the archive record Storage Length from the drop
down list. Choose from one day, one week, one, three, six or
twelve months, forever or none (do not save any records).
Any sales data older than the specified time is cleared from
the computer when you run a Clear Sales (Z) report. If you
plan to archive and clear sales at regular intervals, specify a
Storage Length at least as long as that interval. The longer
the storage length, the more disk space it requires. The
default storage length is three months.
4. Select the Quantity of Stored Data stored in the archive
records.
Summary Only saves the amount of sales data found in
summary reports and takes up less disk space. This is the
default.
Detailed Info saves the amount of sales data found in
detailed reports.
5-16 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
If Detailed Info is not selected,
you can't run a Detailed Sales
(X3) report on archive data
(you can only run it on current
or most recent archive data).
You also can't export detailed
archive data.
5. Select the Type of Data stored for hourly sales reports from
the drop down list. If you change this option for an existing
installation, you must do a restore station memory at the
ECUs.
The ECUs store hourly sales data for the preceding 48 hours
of sales activity. You can choose the Type of Data for the
ECU to store. Choose from these combinations: Charged
Drinks/Charged Sales, Charged Drinks/Comp Drinks, Comp
Drinks/Comp Sales, Charged + Comp Drinks/Charged Sales.
The default is Charged Drinks/Charged Sales. (See Glossary
of Report Terms and Hourly Sales (X4) Report in the Sample
Reports section.)
6. Select Clear to delete hourly sales data from the ECUs after
a Z report or select Don't Clear to keep hourly sales data
after a Z report. The default is Don't Clear.
7. Select the schedule log Storage Length from the drop down
list.
The Schedule Log is a running history of all events the
schedule program attempts. It can grow to be quite large, so
you should delete it as often as you plan to review it. Choose
from one day, one week, one, three, six or twelve months or
forever. The default is three months.
8. Click OK to save your entries and exit the screen or click
Cancel to exit without saving.
Configuration Options 5-17
Enter Unit of Measure
The unit of measure is called a "country" option because usually it is the country you live in that
determines how you set this option.
n To enter unit of measure:
1. Access the Configuration screen. (See Access
Configuration Options in this section.)
2. Click Country.
3. Select the Unit of Measure for calculating and displaying
fluid volumes. Choose from ounces (oz), milliliters (ml),

Brand Wizard
The Brand Wizard loads the Berg brand list to your computer. In the process of
loading the list, the Wizard gives you a chance to specify how many different
price levels and portion sizes you'll need and a place to enter default prices and
portions for each product type. The Wizard appears the first time you run
Manager at a new installation or you can run it any time from the Manager
menu.

Brand Wizard for New Installations
The Brand Wizard appears the first time you run Manager. The Wizard steps you through the
process of loading Berg’s brand list to your computer. It covers everything you need to do to set
the number of price levels and sizes and the default prices and portions for each product type
before you load the Berg brand list.
n To use the Brand Wizard:
1. Run Manager.
The first screen lists the tasks you can perform with the
Brand Wizard. Before the Wizard installs the Berg brand list,
you'll need to check the number of sizes, price levels and
default prices and portions for each product type and decide
if you want to set your own defaults or use the Berg defaults.
Cancel
Click Cancel at any time to exit
the Brand Wizard and not load
the brand list.
2. Click Next to proceed to the next screen or click Cancel to
exit the Wizard.
Back
Click Back to return to a
previous screen.
6-2 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
You don’t have to use the Brand Wizard. If you click
Cancel, the Berg brand list is not loaded.
You can load the Berg brand list later using menu options.
See Run Brand Wizard from the Menu in this section and
Load Initial Brand List in the Brands, Cocktails, Prices and
Portions section.
Product Types
Product types are the
categories Infinity uses to
organize the brand list.
Liquor includes brands (e.g., Jim
Beam, Seagram's 7) that can be
assigned to Laser or All-Bottle
dispensers.
Cocktail includes names (e.g.,
Pina Colada, Screwdriver) that
can be assigned to Laser gun
buttons.
Beer includes brands (e.g.,
Budweiser, Heineken) that
can only be assigned to TAP 1
dispensers.
Wine includes names (e.g., Merlot,
Riesling) that can be assigned to
any dispenser.
Mixer includes names (e.g.,
Grenadine, Tomato Juice) that
can be assigned to any
dispenser.
This screen shows you the six product types in the Berg
brand list.
3. Select the product type(s) you want to load and click Next.
Any product type(s) you don't select won't be loaded.
In the next steps, the Wizard gives you a chance to modify
the number of sizes, price levels and default prices and
portions for each product type you've selected.
Other includes your own custom
names that can be assigned to
any dispenser.
You can specify the number of
portion sizes and price levels,
but you can't specify their
designations. The minimum
number is 1. The higher sizes
and price levels are always the
ones eliminated. (If you choose
2 price levels they will be A and
B.)
Load Defaults
If you want to use Berg's
default number of sizes and
price levels, click Load Defaults.
The Berg default sizes are 3 for
Liquor, Wine, Mixers and Other, 4
for Beer and 5 ingredients for
Cocktails. The Berg default price
levels are 3 for all product
types.
4. Select the maximum number of portion sizes and price levels
you want for the indicated product type and click Next.
You're not defining portion sizes or price levels—you're just
saying how many different portion sizes and price levels
you'll need.
(For the cocktail product type, select the maximum number
of ingredients you want for a cocktail recipe.)
Brand Wizard 6-3
In this step of the Wizard, a new screen appears for each
price level of the indicated product type.
Default Prices and Portions
Defaults are base prices and
portions which are entered for
each brand when the brand is
added to the brand list.
5. To enter your own default prices and portions, type the
correct Portion and Price for each Size listed and click
Next.
Each brand in the list has
factory default prices and
portions according to its
product type. The Wizard lets
you replace these defaults
with your own. Setting your
own defaults is useful when
you have several brands within
a product type with the same
prices and portions.
OR
Click Next to accept the Berg default prices and portions
displayed for the product type and price level.
The number of different portion sizes and price levels you'll
see is the number you specified in the previous step. You
don't need to type a decimal if you're entering a whole
number, e.g., type 6 for 6.00 oz, or 2 for $2.00.
If you don’t want to set your
own default prices and
portions, you can load the
brand list with the factory
defaults. You can always
change the prices and
portions for specific brands
after the brand list is
installed.
When you click Load Defaults
on the Modify Prices and
Portions screen, you'll see the
default prices and portions
you define here.
Note that for cocktails you're entering default portion sizes
and prices for each Ingredient in the cocktail in addition to
a default Cocktail Price.
6-4 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each product type you selected to
load. The Wizard displays the appropriate screen to change
the number of sizes and price levels and the default prices
and portions for each product type.
7. Select which product types from the Berg brand list you
want to load to your computer and click Next.
Assign Brands to Dispensers
The Wizard only loads the brand
names. You'll still need to assign
specific brands to each of your
dispensers.
This step gives you a chance to select which product types of
the Berg brand list you want to load. (You may not need all
product types.) Any brands you already have in your brand
list are not affected by the new list. This step just loads the
brand names. There’s no harm in loading brand names and
then not using them. You can delete any unused brands later.
If you choose not to load one or more product types in this
step, any default prices and portions or number of sizes and
price levels you’ve entered for product types in previous
steps are still saved.
If you didn't select a particular product type at the start of the
Wizard you won't be able to select it now. (Click Back if you
want to get back to an earlier screen.)
Brand Wizard 6-5
Containers
Containers are listed for each
brand on the Usage report.
The Wizard simply provides an
easy way to assign the same
container to all brands or to
all brands of a product type.
You can always assign a
different container to any of
your brands later on.
Specifying a container for each
brand is necessary if you're
using Inventory.
Specify the size and unit of
measure for your containers in
Container Setup.
If you’re upgrading from a
previous Infinity release, any
bottle sizes you defined in
previous releases will be
converted to containers.
Please check all container
sizes using Container Setup.
8. Select a container size for each product type and click Next.

For further explanation of the
Inventory feature and a
checklist of setup tasks, see
the Inventory section.
9. If prompted, type in the Order Point for all brands and click
Next. (This screen only appears if you've enabled the
Inventory feature.) Order point is the minimum number of
containers of each brand you want on hand before reordering.

SECTION
Station and Group
Setup
After you've set up networks and ECUs, you can organize the ECUs into stations
and groups for convenient management of pouring operations and reporting. A
station is the smallest component of the system used for performing software
tasks such as changing price levels or running reports. By default, a station is set
up in the software for each ECU or partition you set up. Therefore, you don't
need to set up any more stations unless you want to combine ECUs or partitions
into one station for convenience. Setting up groups provides further flexibility
because you can combine stations and other groups into one group. An ECU or
partition can only be in one station, but in multiple groups. As you set up your
system, you can view a list of stations and groups using the View Station
Mapping feature. This section provides help with the following tasks:

You don't have to set up any stations if you plan to treat each ECU as its own station. If you want
to keep each ECU in its own station but give it a new station name, see Rename a Station in this
section. You should set up a new station if you want to combine two or more ECUs or partitions
into a single station for the purposes of pouring operations and reports. A station is the smallest
component the software uses to perform most functions, so be sure the stations you set up provide
the most convenient combinations of ECUs and partitions. For maximum flexibility, set up each
ECU or partition as its own station, and then set up groups for all operations involving multiple
ECUs or partitions.

SECTION
ECU Diagnostics
Diagnostic features are included in Infinity software to test communication
between the ECUs and the computer. Use these features to verify communication
at the time of installation and any time you may need to troubleshoot
communication with a particular ECU. This section provides help with the
following tasks:
Communication Wizard .................................................................. 9-2
Loopback Test ................................................................................. 9-6
Communication Test ....................................................................... 9-8
Memory Test ................................................................................. 9-10
Clear and Restore Memory ........................................................... 9-12
Communication Wizard
This Wizard helps you troubleshoot communication problems between your computer and any
ECUs in a hard-wired network. Since it takes you through the process step by step, the Wizard is
especially helpful if you're not sure you're running a loopback or communication test properly. To
use the Wizard you must have a loopback tester, your network communication must be at 9600
baud and the ECUs must be free of security codes. The Wizard can't help you test communication
on a modem-connected network.
n To use the Communication Wizard:
1. Run Manager.
2. Pull down the Diagnostics menu. Click Communication
Wizard....
The first screen lists the prerequisites for running the
Wizard.
2. Click Next to proceed to the next screen or click Cancel to
exit the Wizard.
3. Select the Port number at the computer where your Infinity
network is connected and click Next.
9-2 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
4. Enter the ECU Number of the first ECU you want to test
and click Next.
5. Check all connections (including power) and click Next. The
communication test proceeds. Wait while the test runs.
6. If communication with the ECU succeeded, you'll see this
message. Click Finish to close the Wizard. To check
communication with a different ECU, start the Wizard again.
(continued on next page)
ECU Diagnostics 9-3
7. If communication with the ECU failed, the Wizard will help
you determine why. Click Next.
You may see this error
message which means the.
port could not be opened,
usually for one of the following
reasons. The port is being
used by another program or
device (such as a modem or a
mouse). Note that some
programs will not release the
port until they are exited. If a
program crashed while using
the port, the port may still
think it is being used. When
running a program in a DOS
window, the DOS window will
hold on to the port (even
after the program completes)
until the DOS window is
closed.
8. The first thing to test is the communication port at the
computer. Disconnect the Infinity network and any loopback
tester from the computer and click Next. The software then
checks the computer's comm ports. The next message you
see is determined by your particular setup.
9. The software determines which comm ports are available for
you to make an Infinity network connection. Click Next.
9-4 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
10. Reconnect the loopback tester directly into the port you
think is the port number you selected. Click Next.
11. In this example, the Wizard runs the test and suggests trying
a different port number (or the possibility that the port or
loopback tester is defective). When you click Next, the
Wizard puts you back to the first step of the test--entering a
Port number.
12. Proceed with the prompts the Wizard displays for your
particular setup. You'll be disconnecting and re-connecting
the loopback tester at various points in the communication
line between the ECU and computer.
ECU Diagnostics 9-5
Loopback Test
The loopback test verifies you have a working, accessible COM port on your computer. You must
have a loopback tester (Berg PN 8009196) to connect to the port to perform this test.
n To perform a loopback test:
1. Run Manager.
2. Pull down the Diagnostics menu. Click Loopback Test....
3. Select the number of the Port.
4. Select the Baud Rate.
5. Type the Phone number of the remote modem if you are
testing a modem connection.
6. Type the initialization string for the computer modem in the
Init String field. The default (AT &D2 &C1 S0=0|) sets
Data Terminal Relay and Carrier Detect to normal and turns
off Auto Answer.
7. Select Tone or Pulse for the type of dialing used on the
computer modem's telephone line.
9-6 Infinity Installation/Service and User Manual
8. Click Run to begin the test (without the loopback tester in
place).
The loopback test commences. You should see exactly 100%
failure.
9. If you don't see 100% failure, click Stop to end the test. (The
port you've chosen is already in use by a device that is
echoing the loopback signal. That port is not available for
Infinity.) Select a new Port number and click Run.
10. When you see 100% failure, plug the loopback tester into the
computer port. (You don't need to stop the test.)

Learn mode is a feature of TAP 1 ECUs that can help you set up initial portion sizes for tap
controllers. It is especially helpful when the owner knows the glass or mug he wants to use for a
particular button but is not sure of the exact portion size. In learn mode, you can pour a glass as
full as you want and Infinity calculates the volume of the pour and automatically sets up the
portion size. If you use learn mode to set up portion sizes you should assign brands to taps first.
You still have to set up prices for the brands poured at TAP 1 ECUs. Be sure to calibrate your
system before using learn mode since the accuracy of your portion sizes is based on your
system’s calibration. Learn mode does not calibrate your system.

Cocktail Prices and Portions
Cocktail prices and portions are always associated with a cocktail name in Infinity; they are
never defined or used independent of a cocktail. Each cocktail is assigned a category of prices and
portions called "Standard", e.g. Black Russian--Standard refers to the standard prices and portions
set up for the Black Russian cocktail. These standard prices and portions include three price
levels. You can define default prices and ingredient portions for cocktails. See the Brand Wizard
section or Price and Portion Defaults in this section. You can add a cocktail to the brand list at
the time you enter prices and portions. You can enter a cocktail's prices and portions before or
after you assign the cocktail to a dispenser, but either way you must be sure the brands used in the
cocktail are included on the Laser gun.
n To enter or change a cocktail's prices and portions:
1. Run Manager.
2. Pull down the Pouring menu and click Prices and
Portions....
3. Select Cocktail as the Product Type.

Brands, Cocktails, Prices and Portions 10-17
Default Prices and Portions
Defaults are base prices and
portions which are entered for
each brand when the brand is
added to the brand list.
If you click Load Defaults the
prices and portions displayed
are whatever defaults are
currently defined for the
product type.
Berg’s default prices and
portions are used if you don’t
set your own defaults.
You can set your own default
prices and portions for each
product type using any of the
following methods:
1. Enter price and portion
defaults using the Brand
Wizard.
11. Type the correct Portion and Price for each Ingredient
Name listed on the tab. (You don't need to type a decimal if
you're entering a whole number, e.g. type 6 for 6.00 oz, or 2
for $2.00.)
You must enter a Portion size for each ingredient to tell the
dispenser how to pour the cocktail.
Ingredient Prices are an optional entry and should be the
retail value of the amount of the brand used in the cocktail.
Ingredient prices are only used in a Usage report. In the
report the ingredient price is multiplied by the number of
cocktails poured and added to the sales total for the brand.
The total of the ingredient prices may or may not equal the
price of the cocktail.
12. Type the correct Cocktail Price for the displayed price
level.
If you are installing an interface between Infinity and a sales
terminal or POS system see the Infinity/Sales Terminal
Interface Manual for help with entering PLUs in Infinity.

Notes
q You can build your cocktail prices based on the ingredients
used. The more expensive the liquor, the higher the price
that is charged.
Example: The following brand prices are established:
Bar Vodka
Regular portion $2.00
Call Vodka (Smirnoff)
Regular portion 2.25
Premium Vodka (Absolut) Regular portion 2.50
Kahlua (premium cordial) Small portion
1.25
If a customer orders a Black Russian, the price could be built as
follows:
Bar Vodka Black Russian
2.00 + 1.25 = 3.25
Call Vodka Black Russian
2.25 + 1.25 = 3.50
Premium Vodka Black Russian
2.50 + 1.25 = 3.75
q If you need more prices and portions for a cocktail than the
three price levels of its standard prices and portions see
Create a New Price Portion Category in this section.

What is Test Pour?
You may have noticed Test Pour in your brand list. This entry is included in the brand list for
your convenience during installation and also to assist Berg in troubleshooting your system.
Test Pour
Test Pour isn't a specific brand of liquor. It's a default brand
name initially assigned to each dispenser. It makes it possible to
pour at each dispenser before you've set up any brands with the
software. Test Pour uses the factory default portion sizes for S,
R and L. A different Test Pour is used for Tap 1 dispensers (Tap
1 Test Pour).
Removing Test Pour
from a dispenser
When you assign specific brands to each dispenser, you replace
Test Pour with the chosen brand.
Removing Test Pour
from the Brand List
Test Pour can't be deleted from the brand list so it's always
available for diagnostic purposes.
