For each example, the "new" functions will be explained in detail, leaving out the
explanations for the more familiar and more often-used ones.
It is advised that these pages should be at hand when studying the applications
directly.
A.1 EXAMPLE 1: CODE+QUANTITY
The first simple example, for inventory applications, allows the acquisition of
barcodes, the setting of a quantity per code and the saving of everything inside the
Formula terminal in a table. An internal calendar clock in the terminal also saves the
date and time of the acquisition.
This program is totally linear, i.e. it is run from beginning to end without jumps or
interruptions, as will be seen from the more complex examples below.
To understand how the examples functions, the first thing to check is the composition
of the data table. In the EDITOR TABLES item of the TOOLS menu there is a setting
selected for TABLE1 which is used to save all the scans.
There are 4 fields: DATE - TIME - CODE - QUANTITY
The Date and Time fields are automatically acquired from the terminal's internal clock
via dedicated EasyGen™ functions.
The Code and Quantity fields, on the other hand, will be requested from the user.
