Once the connection of Echo Test is established, the details will be displayed as the
illustration below.
Link Quality (“Q”) will be the most important elements, and others are for reference only.
3.3 Application
The Application module runs on top of the System module. The 8370 Terminal is preloaded with the
Application Generator’s run-time program and the following menu will be shown upon powering the
unit up:
y 1. Take data
y 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”.
3.4 Programming the terminal
There are three software tools available for developing application programs for the terminal.

Besides, Terminal Emulation program which supports ANSI (VT100& VT220) and IBM is also
available. For detailed information, please contact Syntech Information Co., Ltd.

information, please contact your supplier .Syntech Information Co., Ltd.
