Integration 

Bluetooth HID mode is ideal for demonstration as there is no need for any software on 

the host. Data will appear in the active application wherever the cursor is located, and 

format characters (tab, cr, lf for example) can be used to position the data in the right 

location. However if cursor independence is an issue, Cubetape can instead be 

connected to the host using Bluetooth serial port profile (SPP). The data sent from 

Cubetape can be accessed at the relevant COM port on the host and can be made 

available programmatically. To simplify this process for the host application, Parceltools 

has published an SDK comprising a dll and a sample desktop application. The dll 

manages the low level Cubetape interface (BT and COM port connection) and makes 

the data available via a higher level set of methods and properties. We envisage the 

major shipping applications would require cursor independence, and if so the SDK may 

be a useful tool. There are a number of implementations in Australia and Asia where 

this approach has been us used 

 

2.4.5 Batch  Upload

 

 

Batch Upload functions when there is locally saved data records in the device.

 

Note: 

Please note the configuration for the communication.  Usually, this  function  works 

under the 

USB connection 

option. See Section 3.3.5 and Section 4.3 for detailed  information.

 

 

 Use 

 

and 

 

to scroll, when the cursor is on the Batch Upload tab, press 

  

to 

select. See Figure 2-16.

 

 

 The display will show the number of records saved in the device. See Figure 2-16. 

Press 

 

to send the data.

 

 Completing the data transmission, select to keep or delete the current records.
