Spec Sheet

CUSTOM PROGRAM GENERATION.
The Apex II puts the user in control by allowing
applications software to be written using a favorite
program editor. The Apex II incorporates a non-
proprietary BASIC interpreter, similar to the popular
Microsoft BASIC interpreter. Valuable enhancements
have been added to the language to give the programmer
complete control of the Apex unit and the bar code
reading capabilities.
BASIC gives programmers the flexibility of a fully
implemented programming language with superior
execution speed, built-in debugging features, and
exceptional file handling capabilities.
A
PEX PROGRAM GENERATOR.
This optional Windows-based Program Generator has
been designed to provide the user with the capability to
visually create applications for the Apex without the
need to write program code.
The Program Generator will assist the user in
development and implementation of most standard data
collection applications, and the modification of existing
applications.
The program includes communications routines for
program and data loading and retrieval, as well as
management functions for the creation of application
diskettes for distribution to the end user.
By responding to the menu-driven prompts regarding
data collection, data validation and scanning features,
the program generates structured BASIC code that can
be used, as is, or can be further modified and enhanced
using a text editor.
POWERFUL PROCESSING.
These Intel-based units, with memory sizes ranging from
128K to 1MB, assure the speed and power needed for
today’s wide range of data tracking applications.
Available memory will increase the application effectiveness
by letting the user access more file information, run multiple
applications, or operate for an extended period of time at
a remote site. The on-board flash memory eliminates the
worry of program corruption and the need for backup.
A
PEX-TRAK.
Pre-loaded into each Apex II is Apex-Trak, a trio of
easy-to-use tracking packages (Asset Inventory, Item Tracking
and Physical Inventory) for immediate data collection
usage. Included with the programs is the LinkMaster, a
utility for easy uploading and downloading of programs
and data.
Program features include user-definable field names, lengths
and usage. Data transmission options include uploading
via RS 232 to a PC or through a Keyboard Wedge. Print
drivers are included for applications requiring that bar code
labels be printed in a portable environment.
For general reading, Apex-Trak even includes a simple
bar code reading program, allowing for the scanning and
the display of the code interpretation and symbology type.
