Introduction
The Optimizer software program is a rapid SW development tool designed and developed
specifically for the Optimus series of portable data terminals. The Optimizer program is a well-
structured application program that has user friendly menus and easily accessible options, all of
which make Optimizer the perfect companion software to produce the most optimal results for
both the user and any custom application. The Optimizer has a multitude of features that
include:
•
Ease of Install
•
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
•
Intuitive menus*
•
Variety of comprehensive options
The Optimizer’s GUI enables the user to define the parameters by which the data collection
operation shall function. The menus and options allow users to easily create data collection
templates and download applications to the Optimus. The Optimizer gives users the ability to
define their own data collection templates quickly and easily on a PC without writing any
program code. In minutes a new application can be designed on-screen, downloaded to the
terminal and begin being used.
The Optimizer program alone is a powerful SW tool for any program developer, but there are
utilities that work in conjunction with Optimizer that make it even more robust. The capabilities
of the extra utilities include the ability to setup real time lookups, access point echoing, and
more. The tools are included on the CDROM with the Optimizer program and are installed
under the c:\\Program Files\Optimizer directory when the Optimizer installation is completed.
