Set Up Made Simple

Create your own program in minutes by using the Application Generator.
The unique application generator feature allows the user to create custom data collection templates quickly and easily on a PC without writing any program code. The user is presented with a terminal Window screen on the PC to simulate the programs running sequences on the actual terminal. A new application can be designed on-screen in only a few minutes, downloaded to the terminal and data collection can begin immediately.

A Form is a data collection template with input prompts. Length and data type for each input field can be specified. Each form can have up to 8 input fields.
A Menu is a list of selection items. Up to 10 different menus can be defined.
A Lookup file is a database file created for information reference. Up to three lookup files can be created.
The Bar Code section describes user configurable parameters pertaining to bar code symbologies.
Settings allows the user to define a password, enable/disable security checking, configure the system settings, and configure the settings for keyboard wedge.
The Startup section allows users to specify what is to be executed first when the program starts, specify delimiters for data fields and redefine system prompts/messages.
