FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 1 FORMULA™ PROGRAM INSTALLATION AND SETUP The Formula™ terminal can accept different program options: - custom programs developed and generated with the Formula™ Software Development Toolkits; - ready to use applications preloaded and distributed with Formula™ CD; - applications created by EasyGen™ application generator. This document describes examples of the last two options. For details on the first option, see the SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s manual.
DATA COLLECTION WITH FORMULA™ SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS 2 DATA COLLECTION WITH FORMULA™ APPLICATIONS 2.1 QUICK START The Formula™ comes with an application named PALPRO loaded in memory. PALPRO includes two useful data-collection programs for using the Formula™ without additional programming. Follow the steps below to begin using the Formula™ with PALPRO immediately. Page references show where to find more information. 1. Turn the Formula™ on by pressing the key.
FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE • Press to begin using PALPRO. 5. The application requests an update to the date and time. You can change them here if necessary. Or, press twice to skip either the date or the time. 6. Enter a password (refer to par. 2.2.3). 7. Press any function key to continue on to the PALPRO Options menu. 8. Press the key to display the list of available applications. Select the application to use. (refer to par. Switching to Another PALPRO Application).
DATA COLLECTION WITH FORMULA™ SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS 2.2.2 Setting the Time and Date You can access the date and time prompts from other display screens and menus (such as the password prompt in par. 2.2.3). NOTE Current Date: 09/23/02 Enter New Date: ¤ F1=US/INT When starting the application for the first time, the display screen shows the date currently loaded in memory. If the displayed date is correct, press the key. If the date is wrong, enter the correct date.
FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 2.2.3 Setting a Password A password is required when you install the entire suite of PALPRO applications. Password security allows a manager or supervisor to customize the PALPRO software and then hand it off to a worker. A password can contain up to 128 characters and can use any characters available on the Formula™.
DATA COLLECTION WITH FORMULA™ SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS 2.3 USING PALPRO TO COLLECT DATA When finished setting up the Formula™ (refer to the previous section), the PALPRO Options menu appears on the display screen. Use the menu to choose a PALPRO application. 2.3.1 Installing PALPRO PALPRO comes installed on your Formula™ from the factory. If you need to reinstall PALPRO, refer to par. 3.2 of this document. 2.3.
FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Changing Program Titles and Prompts PALPRO allows the user to change the title that appears on the menu for each application, or change the prompts for each application. Changing titles or prompts can be done after selecting an application. To change the title or prompts, complete the following steps: 1. Press the key at the prompt. To use the application’s current title and prompts, select at the prompt in Figure below. CHANGE PROMPTS? F3=YES F4=NO¤ 2.
