3.6 DATA CAPTURE CONFIGURATION
From the Taskbar, tap the "Data Capture" icon to open a drop–down menu. Data
Capture can also be accessed from the Control Panel.
By selecting the Info item from this drop-down menu you can access information
about the Scanner and the Software; the Configure item opens the configuration
applet (Data Capture Configuration Window), while Capture accesses the data
capture applet (Data Capture Window), which enables code reading.
The last menu item (Wedge) enables Wedge Emulation.
3.6.1 Configure
The Configuration applet contains the barcode scanning configuration parameters in
a directory tree structure. The available barcode parameters are divided into two
groups: Reader Parameters and Scan Parameters.
The Reader Parameters depend on the type of scanner module installed on the
mobile computer and allow barcode configuration (i.e. enable/disable Code 39, check
digit control, etc.).
The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the
scanning device (i.e. LED control, laser timeout, etc.).
Each Data Capture screen window corresponds to a branch of the tree, and the
name of the current branch is displayed at the bottom of each screen window.

Data Capture Configuration Window
The screen format shows two columns where the left column indicates branches or
parameters. Branches have three dots in the right column (...). You can navigate
through the tree structure using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the item
field or from the menu.
Parameters have their corresponding current values in the right column. You can edit
parameter values using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the item field or
from the menu. To change a value for example, select the line of the value to be
changed, choose Edit from the Parameter Menu then choose a new value from the
values listed in the box (see following figures).
Selecting Data Capture Setup Parameters
Alternatively using the stylus, you can tap once directly on the value on the right
column; continue tapping until the desired value is reached.
To activate a new configuration select the File ->Save Menu to send the new
configuration to the barcode decoding software and save the new configuration. This
will save the configuration to non-volatile memory preventing loss at the next system
reset.

Reader Parameters
The barcode reading parameters and values are dependent upon the type of scanner
module mounted in your mobile computer. For a detailed list of parameters and of
their configuration procedures, please refer to the SDK Help file on the CD.
Scan Parameters
The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of the
scanning device. The Scan parameters are described as follows:
ScanTimeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, during which the scanner remains
on without decoding any barcode.
GoodReadSound: is the filename of a wav file played when the scanner reads a
code.
LedDuration: the length of the good-read led pulse, in milliseconds.
LedPulses: the number of times the good-read led pulse is emitted when the
scanner reads a code.
Green Spot Duration: determines the duration (measured in milliseconds) of the
green spot feedback, which provides a ”good read” green dot directly on the code,
where the operator usually tends to be looking.
ContinuousMode: disables the effect of the ScanTimeout parameter.
KeyboardEmulation: if enabled all scanned data are transformed into keyboard
events and can therefore be displayed and saved to a file as if input from the mobile
computer keyboard.
SoftTrigger: when enabled, the laser can be turned on/off by the application
software.
ScanAlwaysOn: enables the scanner for barcode reading independently from the
application software.
NotPrintableChar: if set to "Remove", all not printable characters included in the
scanned data are deleted and the final barcode will include only printable characters.

3.7.3 Files Admin
The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the System
Folder. Two functions are available on the Files Admin Main window by means of two
buttons:
Files Admin Main Window
Save Session: with this button all files will be permanently saved in the \Windows
directory in non-volatile memory. This function guarantees the steady maintenance of
every file produced during the current working session - even of sub-directories and
relevant files - with the exception of the files belonging to the FLASH image.
These current working session files will be backed-up in the \Backup\Windows
directory.
At the next hardware reset, the files previously saved in the \Backup\Windows
directory will be restored to the Windows directory (see par. 3.9).
Safe Setup: with this button, the installation of software programs will be saved to
non-volatile memory (Backup directory). Before doing this, it will be checked that the
Backup directory has enough space to save the files. If the directory space is not
enough, an error message will be shown and the program will exit the Safe Setup
function.
Two activating procedures are available for Safe Setup:
- Select an installation file (for example, a .CAB cabinet file) from the Safe Setup
mask.

NOTE
For more information on FTP Client/Server connections refer to the
following web page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922316.aspx.
NOTE
Datalogic Skorpio™ xxx-xxx-433 and xxx-xxx-436 models do not
contain the FTP Server. If necessary you can install it from the CD-
ROM in the Utilities folder.
3.9 BACKUP DIRECTORY FILE MANAGEMENT
All of the Windows CE system files reside in RAM (volatile memory) except for the
Backup directory, which resides in FLASH (non-volatile memory). Therefore the
contents of the Backup directory are persistent even if the mobile computer is re-
booted or the battery pack is changed.
You can save your more important files that you don't want to lose due to mobile
computer re-boot, in the Backup directory or create a sub-directory within Backup.
Even though the Windows Directory resides in RAM, it often contains files or sub-
directories created by the user or by installation programs that you don't want to lose
at re-boot. To keep these files persistent it is necessary to copy them to the directory
\Backup\Windows. This directory doesn't exist originally (only Backup exists), and
therefore it must be created. At the next hardware reset, before activating the shell,
Windows CE will copy the contents including all sub-directories of \Backup\Windows
to \Windows.
Likewise, to maintain files that must be run at Windows CE startup, (i.e. .exe, .lnk,
.vb, .htm, etc.), it is necessary to copy them to the directory \Backup\Startup. This
directory does not exist originally (only Backup exists), and therefore it must be
created. The application programs will be run after any type of re-boot (both software
and hardware reset).
USE AND FUNCTIONING
41

As an alternative to the Safe Setup function, it is possible to copy the .cab files to the
directory \Backup\Cabfiles (the Cabfiles sub-directory doesn't exists originally and
must therefore be created) and perform a mobile computer cold boot to have the
application installed. Once these files are copied to the directory \Backup\Cabfiles,
the application will be run after each re-boot.
From the second cold boot on, a message may be displayed such as "<application
name> is already installed. Re-install?". This message blocks the boot process.
Press the [Enter] key to continue the system initialization.

4 MAINTENANCE
NOTE
Rechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the
first operation to perform is to charge them. See below.
4.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack autonomy varies according to factors, such as the frequency of
barcode scanning, RF usage, etc.
When the battery pack is low, the LED positioned at the right side of the display
blinks red.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by using the PG5-20 MiniUSB AC/DC
Power Supply directly connected to the Datalogic Skorpio™.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the
Datalogic Skorpio™ Single USB Cradle or one of the Datalogic Skorpio™/F-COLOR
cradles (even when not connected to the host).
During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display is red
constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant
(see par. 3.5).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the MBC8600 Multi-Battery Charger.
CAUTION
If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a long time,
it is necessary to perform two or three charging and discharging
cycles (complete use) before it can reach its maximum charge
capability.
The maximum time required to recharge a completely run-down
battery pack is 4 hours if recharged into the mobile computer.
MAINTENANCE

4. To correctly insert the new battery pack, first insert the bottom and then the
upper part of the battery pack into the slot as indicated in the following figure:
5. Press it until the battery latch is automatically closed.
WARNING
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to
high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger
only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the
relevant laws in force.
NOTE
In order to guarantee an adequate operating autonomy, when
replacing the battery pack the mobile computer checks the battery
energy level. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, Datalogic
Skorpio™ does not turn on (when pressing the ON button).
In this case, either substitute the battery pack with a charged one
(sufficiently charged) or insert Datalogic Skorpio™ into a powered
cradle or plug it into the direct power supply.
NOTE
Due to a large internal capacitor, Datalogic Skorpio™ can remain
on for about two minutes with no loss of data in the volatile memory,
for example when replacing the battery pack.

4.3 COMPACT FLASH AND SECURE STORAGE CARDS
The Datalogic Skorpio™ supports both Compact Flash and Mini Secure Digital
storage cards.
The Mini Secure Digital storage card slot accepts storage cards only, while the
Compact Flash card slot accepts either a storage card or a 802.11b/g radio card.
To install a Compact Flash, it is recommended to contact a Datalogic representative
for technical assistance since to access the card slot it is necessary to open the
mobile computer by removing its screws and causes warranty loss, while the Mini
Secure Digital storage card can be installed by removing the battery, without opening
the mobile computer.
CAUTION
Opening the Datalogic Skorpio™ may damage internal
components.
4.4 CLEANING THE MOBILE COMPUTER
Periodically clean the Datalogic Skorpio™ with a slightly dampened cloth.

GLOSSARY
Access Point
A device that provides transparent access between Ethernet wired networks and
IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile units. Hand-held mobile
computers, PDAs or other devices equipped with radio cards, communicate with
wired networks using Access Points (AP). The mobile unit (mobile computer) may
roam among the APs in the same subnet while maintaining a continuous, seamless
connection to the wired network.
Barcode
A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or
alphanumeric data in binary form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists
of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if
any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable
symbology uses its own unique format.
Baud Rate
A measure for data transmission speed.
Bit
Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight
consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the
byte determines its meaning.
Bluetooth®
A standard radio technology using a proprietary protocol. The onboard Bluetooth
module in the mobile computer is compatible with the 1.2 protocol.
Byte
On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a
pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from
the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to
store one ASCII character.
Decode
To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9,
UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile
memory chip.
52
Flash Disk
Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files.
Host
A computer that serves other mobile computers in a network, providing services such
as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or
programming languages.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are
excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according
to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require
external light to reflect their information to the user.
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less
power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
RAM
Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and
quickly written and read.
RF
Radio Frequency.
RTC
Real Time Clock.
