User
friendly design
The high resolution, backlit LCD display offers a choice of 8x16 or
4x12 text mode, wich supports international character sets. A 100x65
pixels graphic mode is also supported. The 26-key rubber keypad and
a conveniently placed scanner trigger allow one-handed operation.
Sophisticated
power management automatically activates standby and shut-off modes
to conserve the battery power. A 30-minute low battery warning
provides users ample time to recharge the battery.
A
DOS compatible operating system enables system integrators to
develop programs using industry standard C compilers. Unitech
offers, free of charge, a Windows library for C, C++, Visual Basic,
Visual FoxPro, and Delphi. This powerful library enables system
integrators to easily modify existing host applications to interface
with the PT600.
Communications
An RS232 port allows data transfer to and from the terminal. It can
also be used to send information to a portable printer. An optional
communications cradle includes a spare battery charger and an
additional RS485 port, which provides networking of up to 32 units.
An
infrared interface and soft-contact charging pads ensure durability
and ease-of-placement in the cradle. There is also an optional
internal modem.
Software
Tools and Development
The PT600 comes with PT Comm Manager, a Windows-based, communication
program. The user interface supports drag-and-drop and will
automatically detect the portable. Also included is JobGen Lite, a
program generator that lets users create an application by visually
drawing a flow chart.
FormCaching,
an on-board, menu-based interface allows users to design simple
applications. It is only a matter of defining prompts, fields,
separators and their attributes. And for those who need more control
and data processing power, JobGen Plus is the right tool. It
requires no programming experience and includes on-screen simulation
that saves valuable debugging time.
Free
utilities and a demo version of JobGen Plus can be downloaded from
www.unitech-adc.com.
