5 Introduction The Optimizer software program is a rapid SW development tool designed and developed specifically for the Optimus series of portable data terminals.
6 Introduction Common Terms Database – A collection of similar data separated into different groups to make it easy to organize and find specific items Table – A the structure where all data is stored. A database is usually made up of multiple tables.
7 Getting Started After successful installation of the Optimizer program* on the host device activation of the program can easily be accomplished. The applic ation window for the Optimizer program will appear on the display of the host device. Figure 1 Optimizer Startup Window Figure 1 illustrates the opening screen of the Optimizer program.
8 Getting Started The File menu contains the familiar Windows™ options such as New, Open, and Save. However, it also contains options unique to the Optimizer program as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2 File Menu Options The options unique to the Optimizer program are Terminal Type and Convert to Optimus R.
9 Getting Started The Tools menu, though a familiar listing for Wi ndows™ programs, has options completely unique to the Optimizer program. In Figure 3 the available options under the Tools menu are displayed. Figure 3 Tools Menu Options Download Program – This option allows the user to download an application program to the Optimus.
10 Application Creation An application is mainly com posed of two components: Form and Menu. These are the t wo key elements required to create a cust omized application program.
11 Application Creation Form Number The Form number selection allo ws the developer to s elect form 1 through 10. As a feature the developer can create 10 unique forms and each form can have different settings. Having the flexibility of 10 forms enables the develo per to create enhanced ap plication programs.
12 Application Creation Record selection options (cont.) Save and Output Record – This selection option allows the developer to configure the Form to accomplish two tasks instantly. It allows the transactional data to be saved in a table on the unit and outputs data directly to the host device.
13 Application Creation Properties Parsing is used when the developer needs to anal yze or separate the data input into more easily processed components. T he parsing options are illustrat ed in F igure 8. The parsing options available allow the developer to add a suffix or prefix.
14 Application Creation Properties (Cont.) Add prefix code Setting adds a set string as a prefix to data ent ered in this field. Click on the checkbox to activate selection. Add suffix code Setting adds a set string as a suffix to data enter ed in this field.
15 Application Creation Min Len and Max Len The Min Len property sets the minimum length t he bar code must be in order to qualify as a valid bar code. The Max Len proper ty can be set to limit the length of the data for a particular field. The properties work in conjunction.
16 Application Creation Data Type properties (Cont.) Text Any ASCII character Integer An Integer is a positive whole number (e.g. 1, 2, 3…), negative whole number (-1, -2, -3….), and zero (0). Real Real number is any rational or irrational number.
17 Application Creation MENU A Menu is the other key component to a well structured applicat ion program. The Menu allo ws the developer to subdivide and configure t he access of different forms for numerous applications.
18 Application Creation Menu properties (cont.) Save Data Click on the checkbox to activate this setting. If this setting is activa ted it will configure the Optimus to save the data for eac h form in a separate file. Menu and Item caption Save caption – Add the menu caption to the tr ans action record if this menu is running.
19 Application Creation LOOKUP TABLE A lookup table is a dat abase file created for in formation reference. The lookup t able provides data to the active form when there is a match to a field in the t able. The level of interaction is dependent on the settings of the acti ve form.
20 Application Creation Lookup Table properties (cont.) Number of fields Setting specifies the number of fields in the lookup table. Field The position of the fiel d in the lookup table t hat is being defined. Offset The Offset setting value identifies t he start position for particular fi eld of the lookup table.
21 Application Creation BAR CODE The bar code property page in cludes all the bar code types that are supported by the O ptimus. The developer can enable or disable each type of bar code. In addition, the developer can configure the parameters of each bar code type to conform to the application requ irements.
22 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Read Redundancy Read redundancy is a method by which the sc anner can reliably determine that the data gathered is accurate by conducting multiple scans of the information. The default setting is none.
23 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Checksum Transmission Specifies whether the checksum characte rs are included in the data being transmitted. Code Length Qualification Because of the weak structure of the 2 of 5 codes, a partial scan has a high probability of decoding as a valid but shorter 2 of 5 codes (known as short scan).
24 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Code39 The Normal CODE 39 is a variable length bar code type that can encode the following 44 characters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, -, .
25 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Enable Code 93 Click on this checkbox to enable Code 93 as an active bar code type. Enable Code 128 Click on this checkbox to enable Code 128 as an active bar code type. EAN8 EAN13 EAN or European Article Num bering system (also called JAN in Japan) is a European version of UPC.
26 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Enable EAN13 ISBN / ISSN Conversion If these settings are enabled, the scanner will convert the code read into ISBN or ISSN code if the formats ar e correct (EAN13 codes star t with 978 or 979 for ISBN, and 977 for ISSN).
27 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Double Modulo 10 Enables the Optimus to scan and decode bar code that contain two Modulo 10 check digits. Modulo 11 & 10 Enables the Optimus to scan and decode ba r code that contain the Modulo 10 and 11 check digit.
28 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Plessey A variable length, numeric-only bar code type. Each symbol is framed by a start and a stop pattern and contains a check character that is calculated from the values of each of the encoded data digits.
29 Application Creation Bar code properties (cont.) Transmit System Number The UPCE comes with 2 varieties: System Number 0 and System Number 1 . These two differ in the way data withi n the bar code is encoded. The system number 1 is the new UPCE extension to the ordinary UPCE (system number 0).
30 Application Creation Startup The Startup properties are the initial settings that will be active on the Optimus upon power up. The Startup menu enables the applic ation program developer to specify which settings and prompts will be accessible upon the initializat ion of the Optimus uni t.
31 Application Creation Statup Application start from This setting determines the form or menu that will be active initially on the Optimus. The active form or menu is determined by the number of forms and menus available for the particular application program (e.
32 Application Creation Settings The Settings property enables the developer to set the communica tion method for multiple interfaces, beep tones, data operation methods, security with password protection, and hot button function keys. Under the Settings menu there are the following three options: 1.
33 Application Creation Security The Security settings available give the developer the ability to limit certain functions. This is accomplished by setting a password for those functions, thereby limiting access to certain functions to a select group of individuals.
34 Communication Communication menu allows the developer to transfer data and programs to and from the Optimus to a host device. To access the communication settings highlight the Tools menu (See Figure 27). Communication option will appear with three options available for setting up communic ation to the host device*.
35 Communication Download Lookup Table Utilizing this option, the developer can download a customized loo kup table to the Optimus, using the Download Lookup Table option. A small window wi ll appear with configuration settings (See Figure 29). The configurable settings are similar to the Download Program option.
36 Communication Receive Data properties (cont.) File Mode This setting is the mode by which the data will be wri tten to the file. Overwrite Allows the developer to specif y the file name.
37 Communication Receive Data properties (cont.) Always show this dialog box This setting must be activated in order to have the Receive Data options available for configuration. It is important to note that if this box is unchecked the configuration settings for the receiving data will not be available to alter.
