RFID ICODE Handheld Interface Features
Features Operating System
The RFID ICODE handheld interface uses Windows® CE 5.0 as its operating
system.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
The RFID ICODE handheld interface comes with a rechargeable Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) battery pack that can provide up to six hours of operating time
on a full charge (depending on power management and use). The NiMH
technology used in the RFID ICODE handheld interface has exceptional charge
life without the “charge memory” characteristic of conventional nickel cadmium
batteries. Partially discharged batteries or extended periods with the charger left
connected will not adversely affect battery life or performance. The RFID
ICODE handheld interface can also run on six AA alkaline batteries.
Processor
The RFID ICODE handheld interface utilizes an Intel® PXA270 processor
designed specifically for high-performance, low power, portable, handheld
devices. It incorporates Intel XScale technology with on-the-fly voltage,
frequency scaling and sophisticated power management. It also complies with the
ARM Architecture V5TE instruction set.
Memory and Mass Storage
The RFID ICODE handheld interface comes standard with 128 MB of
SDRAM (approximately 30 MB used for the operating system) and 512 MB of
internal compact flash memory. An additional 256 MB of SDRAM is optionally
available. Internal compact flash memory is optionally expandable to 8+ GB. For
removable data storage or I/O cards, the RFID ICODE handheld interface is
equipped with a Compact Flash (CF) slot.
