1.2 APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
By using the optional EasyGen™ Application Generator or the DS
for Formula™ software package, developers can easily customize
applications according to the end user specific needs, solving the
most common data collection applications such as inventory,
picking and shipping/receiving.
EasyGen™ is the ideal solution for making Formula 725-E batch
terminals productive instantly. In a familiar environment,
developers have all the instruments at their disposal to reduce
programming times (and therefore costs) while maintaining a high
standard of quality in the creation of personalized applications
whatever their nature, whether simple (e.g. a program for inserting
codes/quantities) or more sophisticated.
The EasyGen™ package includes Systools™ 2001, the efficient
software utility to transfer data to standard ASCII files, and OLE for
Formula, the software module ActiveX - OLE Custom Control or
OCX - allowing users to easily integrate their data into applications
such as Visual Basic, Excel, Access, Delphi, etc.
DS for Formula™ is a software package that provides instruments
for fully exploiting F725-E and F725-E/RF terminals by creating
fully-structured and personalized applications (see par. 1.2 for
details).
DS for Formula™ uses a «C» standard ANSI compiler, integrated
with special libraries, operating in an MS-DOS environment and
developed specifically for the type of terminal processor. The
libraries, developed by Datalogic, permit direct management of the
terminal functions. For example, the management of barcode
reading devices is immediate and rational thanks to interaction with
functions that automatically start up the barcode acquisition
procedure.
Equally transparent, by using a philosophy of events programming,
is the procedure managing the keyboard, display, serial and radio-
frequency communication, calendar/clock and, either directly or
through a vdisk function, the data memory organized into banks.
DS for Formula™ also offers a series of effective general purpose
application examples which represent an excellent starting point
while simultaneously providing a practical guide for studying and
working on complex or personalized programs. Refer to the "Tools"
paragraph in the DS for Formula™ Manual for details.
