The functionality of the terminal is determined
by software, the so-called user application,
that is running on the terminal.

Usually, the terminal is not equipped with
software and has no functionality. At first the
user application must be loaded before the
terminal can be used for barcode scanning.

Tools for developing a user application on the
PC for use on the terminal, as supplied by
Opticon are:

Application Generator

PotStar (Limited or Professional)

C language: Microtec ANSI-C compiler

and C library for handheld terminals.

The user application must be downloaded
from the PC into the terminal. You can use the
cradle, an RS232 cable or an infrared adapter
for communication between the terminal and
the PC. A program on the PC will send the
user application to the terminal, where it is
stored in FlashROM memory.

When the functionality of the terminal is defined
by the application it is ready for operation.

In a typical application you will press the trigger
key and scan a bar code label as described in
the next chapter. Scanned data and data
entered from the keyboard is stored in the
terminal's RAM. The user application can use
this data in subsequent steps.

The collected data can be transmitted to the PC
for further processing. For data transmission
you can use the cradle, an RS232 cable or an
infrared adapter to connect the terminal to the
PC.
