TERMINAL
/ RF-ID
FEATURE
3
The functionality of the terminal is determined
by software, the so-called user application,
that is running on the terminal.
A tool for developing a user application on
the PC for use on the terminal, as supplied
by Opticon is:
C language, consisting of:
- Microtec ANSI-C compiler
- C library for handheld terminals
- RF-ID addon library
Note!
An additional C-library for the PHL2700
with RF-ID feature has been developed,
that needs to be used together with the
C-compiler and C-library for handheld
terminals.
Application Generator Potstar will soon
support Opticon handheld terminals
with RF-ID technology.
