Application

The Application module runs on top of the System module. The Optimus S Series Portable Data

Terminals are preloaded with the Application Generator’s run-time program and the following menu

will be shown upon powering the unit up:

Batch model (SP5501, SP5502):

1. Run Program

2. Utilities

Bluetooth models (SP5535)

1. Take data

2. Utilities

Utilizing the arrow keys select the menu option and execute it by pressing the ENTER key. For certain

models of the Optimus S 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” and “Data Optimizer 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

• The “BASIC” Compiler

• The “C” Compiler

For detailed information, please contact Metrologic Instruments, Inc..

Programming the communication cradle

The communication cradle of the Optimus S 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.
