Chapter 1: Introduction
Architect® is a Windows-based software program use to create
and directly upload applications for use with PT-20 series
Terminals.
Its’ user-friendly interface provides users the
simplicity in designing a project suitable for their business needs.
It is similar to drawing objects and lines on a piece of paper.
Architect® is designed for novice and advanced users. Unlike
customary methods, basic programming is required to develop
an application. But with Architect
’s node functions, novice users
can develop an application. For more advanced users, the
program node offers versatility that allows users to define basic
commands to execute.
Architect® incorporates a systematic project flow: create,
design, compile, simulate and download.
Features
• Reduces operation cost. There is no need to purchase a
separate compiler.
• User-friendly. Architect uses nodes and drag-and-drop
functions to create and define project properties.
• Systematic flow. Projects can be easily understood and
maintained.
• Uses Basic language. To cope with more complex business
demands, Architect® supports Basic programming input and
utilizes Basic Interpreter to compile applications.
• Comes with additional tools. Architect® also comes with a
built-in Simulator and PT FileManager® . For more details,
