If upon power up the Optimus has no application program loaded, then the following Application Manger menu options will appear on the display: MENU OPTIONS. Download Activate Upload DESCRIPTION This option allows the user to download application programs (*.SHX), BASIC run-time (bas.ops.shx), BASIC programs (*.SYN) or font files to the terminal. There are 6 resident locations and one Active Memory. A maximum of 7 programs can be downloaded to the terminal. The application program downloaded to the Active Memory will be the only activate program running. In order to activate one of the other programs, immediately after downloading, input a name for the program desired or just press the enter key to keep its current name if one is applicable. This will enable the user to download the program. The application program’s type, name, and size will be shown on the list of programs when entering the Download or Activate menu of the Application Manager. The file type is a small letter that follows the program number (01~06), it can be either ‘b’, ‘c’ or ‘f’ which represents BASIC program, C program or font file respectively. The program name is up to 12 characters and the program size is in units of K bytes. This option will enable the use to activate one of the residential programs. In order to accomplish this, the use must copy one of the 6 resident programs to the Active Memory. Upon activation of the new program the original program in the Active Memory will be replaced. Note: A font file cannot be activated, and a BASIC program cannot be activated either if the BASIC run-time does not exist. The Upload option gives the user additional method for retrieving an application program. It allows a user to transmit the application programs to a host PC or another terminal. This function also allows a terminal to be cloned without going through a PC. Selecting and successfully completed one of these three menu options will enable the Optimus S to begin functional operation. Communication and Data collection setup The Optimus S Series has various ways of communicating with a host device. Depending on the model of Optimus, it can communicate via RS232, USB, or via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The two model s available are the, Optimus S Batch and Optimus S Bluetooth. These two models have various ways of data collection as well. Depending on the model it may store the data on the terminal itself or transmit live data back to a host device. The Optimus S Batch model has the ability to utilize a RS232 or USB connection to communicate to a host device for both application program downloads and data collection. The Optimus S Batch model includes either a USB or RS232 cable. In order to begin an application download or data transfer the following steps would need to be followed. 1. Remove the Optimus cradle and either the USB or RS232 cable from the box 2. For the RS232 cable plug the 9 pin serial connector into a serial port on the host device. Plug the opposite end into the communication port of the cradle. 10 3. For the USB cable plug the USB end of the cable into an appropriate communication port on the host device and the opposite end of the cable into the communication port of the cradle. 4. Power up the Optimus and select the Utlities option. 5. This will open additional menu options. Select the Transfer Files option. 6. Select Get Program on the next menu. The unit is now ready to download an application program. 7. Place unit in cradle and download the appropriate application program. 8. Once the Optimus has received the application program the unit is ready for scanning and collecting data. Data Collection 1. To transfer the data collected select the Utilities option. 2. Select the Transfer Files option on the next menu. And then the Send Files option. 3. Re-insert the Optimus unit into the cradle and upload the data to the host device. The Optimus S Bluetooth model is similarly connected to the host device and programmed however, there are some key differences in the data collection process. The Optimus S Bluetooth supports transmission of data wirelessly and as such has the capability of communicating that data in two distinctive methods. The first of those methods is Network Emulation. The second of is Serial Emulation. Network Emulation: Because of the wireless capability of the Optimus Bluetooth it has the capability to transmit data wirelessly to a Bluetooth equipped access point. An access point that exists and is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) allows users to collect and transmit data in real time, minimizing time lost to transfer data to a host device. Serial Emulation: Serial Emulation is another manner in which the wireless capable Optimus Bluetooth can transmit data and upload an application program. With Serial Emulation the Optimus Bluetooth can transmit wirelessly to any Bluetooth device that supports Serial Port Profile (SPP). The SPP supported device also allows users to download an application program to the Optimus S Bluetooth wirelessly. 11 System Settings and Operation Tests Depending on the application program that is active on the Optimus, there are number of settings and options that may be selected for both setup and testing. The table shows a number of those settings and their descriptions.
