INSTALLATION
APPLICATION
The Application module runs on top of the System module. The OptimusR Series Portable Data Terminals are
preloaded with the Optimizer’s run-time program and the following menu will be shown upon powering the unit up:
1. Run Program
2. Utilities*
Utilizing the arrow keys select the menu option and execute it by pressing the ENTER key. For certain models of
the OptimusR series the Data Optimizer program may need to be used in order to handle the in-coming and out-
going data to and from a host device. For detailed information, please refer to Optimizer User’s Guide (
MLPN 00-
02052) and DataOptimizer User’s Guide.
Note: If the Application Generator is used to create the application program, it will be necessary to download it to
the terminal.
PROGRAMMING THE TERMINAL
There are three software tools available for developing application programs for the terminal.
The Optimizer Program Builder
The ‘BASIC’ Compiler
The ‘C’ Compiler
For detailed information, please consult the appropriate manual or contact Metrologic Instruments, Inc.
PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATION CRADLE
The communication cradle of the OptimusR Portable Data Terminal supports serial IR interface only. If a
customized PC application has been developed for communication with the terminal via the cradle, it will be
necessary to first configure the cradle through programming. There is a DLL available for this purpose.
For more information, please contact Metrologic Instruments, Inc.
* To configure the wireless settings of the Optimus, see page 16 and the Wi-Fi menu options available in the system menu.
