2.16 Application
The Application module runs on top of the System module. The 8300 Terminals are preloaded with
the Application Generator’s run-time program and the following menu will be shown upon powering
the unit up:
 1. Take data
 2. Utilities
The arrow keys can be used to select the menu item, and execute it by pressing the ENTER key. Note
if you use the Application Generator to create your application program, you need to download it to
the terminal. And for RF models, you need to use the RF Database Manager to handle the in-coming
and out-going data to and from the PC. For detailed information, please refer to “8300 Series
Application Generator User’s Guide” and “RF Application Generator User’s Guide”.
2.17 Programming the terminal
There are three software tools available for developing application programs for the terminal.
1. The Application Generator
2. The “BASIC” Compiler
3. The “C” Compiler
For detailed information, please contact Syntech Information Co., Ltd.
2.18 Programming the communication cradle
The communication cradle of the 8300 Portable Data Terminal supports serial IR interface only.
Before your PC application starts to communicate with the terminal via its cradle, first you need to
configure the cradle through programming. There is a DLL available for this purpose. For more
information, please contact CIPHERLAB Co., Ltd.
