3.1.3 SW Developer’s Toolkits Component Overview
The Software Developer’s Toolkits component is the DS for Formula™
environment for developing custom applications with the 8051 Keil Compiler.
A set of Workdemo examples source code is installed together with this
component.
DS for Formula™ is a software package that provides instruments for fully
exploiting Formula™ terminals by creating fully-structured and personalized
applications.
DS for Formula™ can be used to:
- generate applications for new Formula™ terminal;
- re-generate applications developed for old Formula™ terminals to let them
run on new Formula™ terminal.
The DS for Formula™ distributed with this product can not generate
applications for old Formula™ terminals.
For compatibility and portability details see SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s
Manual Vol2. Section A.
DS for Formula™ uses a «C» standard ANSI compiler, integrated with special
libraries, operating in a MS-DOS environment and developed specifically for the
type of terminal processor. The libraries, developed by Datalogic Mobile S.r.l.,
permit direct management of the terminal functions. For example, the
management of barcode reading devices is immediate and rational thanks to
the 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 the data memory organized into banks,
either directly or through a vdisk function.
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 SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s Manual for details.
