1.1 FALCON X3+ DESCRIPTION
The new Datalogic Falcon X3+ mobile computer delivers the ultimate in ruggedness,
ergonomics, computing and data capture technologies. Falcon X3+ options provide a
tailored solution for demanding environments needing real time transaction visibility.
The Falcon X3+ delivers rugged construction, laser and image data capture, along
with real time communications in a product that is effortless to develop for, deploy
and manage.
Enterprises rely on accurate inventories to both plan and manage activities. Four
data capture options optimize the Falcon X3+ to the application. A laser scanner
tackles high volume environments where speed is essential to receiving and shipping
operations. The imager captures linear, stacked and 2D codes to reduce failed reads
due to damaged and poor quality barcodes. An optional camera takes pictures for the
documentation of damaged or returned goods. Datalogic’s patented Green Spot
good read feedback reduces errors in both noisy and quiet environments. For
applications like cross docking where bar codes can be close at hand or far away, an
auto ranging laser and an extended long range imager offer aggressive scanning
solutions.
The parallel computer architecture of the Falcon X3 melds the strengths of an
XScale™ PXA310 microprocessor with a Cortex-M3 coprocessor. This combination
gears the device for real time information management. Memory of 256 MB RAM / 1
GB Flash accommodates multiple simultaneous applications, for managing large
databases or enabling off-line autonomy of thick applications. A Micro SD Card Slot
provides a simple way for users to increase memory storage capacity as needed.
The Falcon X3+ tailors itself to the information technology practices of the enterprise
through either the Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 or Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5
operating system.
As information is collected the Falcon X3 turns to the task of communication via a
Summit IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n radio. Complimented by a CCX v4 certification from
Cisco, the Falcon X3+ provides infrastructure compatibility focused on enterprise
requirements for encrypted communication and seamless roaming. Voice
applications leverage the internet protocol connection for hands-free voice picking
and push to talk communications. Bluetooth® Wireless Technology connects
headsets, printers and other peripherals eliminating cumbersome wires. An extensive
accessory offering accommodates existing installation needs for USB, RS232,
modem or Ethernet communications.

The Falcon X3+ comes in two form factors to tackle the differing scanning intensities
found in an enterprise. A pistol grip version with numeric keypad tackles the high
volume scan and quantity entry found at the receiving dock. While a hand held with
alpha numeric keypad better suits the lighter pick and pack duty of preparing goods
for shipment. The Falcon’s low weight balances a large 3.5” display with a full size
keyboard and a single piece 5200 mAh battery into both of these packages.
The Falcon X3+ must do more than function for a full shift, it must survive daily abuse
and trauma. The new Falcon X3+ survives drops from 6 feet (1.8 meter) to concrete.
Coupled with an IP65 sealing against water and dust, and featuring Gorilla Glass 3 ®
on the scan window, allows the Falcon X3+ to literally take an industrial pounding.
Plastic key caps with metal snap dome actuation withstand not only the abusive
environment but the heavy use found in third party logistics centers, literally millions
of cycles per year.
Falcon delivers Datalogic’s trademark ergonomics in a contoured package. An
arched pistol grip handle and ergonomic trigger make the rapid receiving of goods
comfortable throughout the day. Falcon X3+ numeric and alphanumeric keyboards
use a phone key layout placing numeric keys at the device top with navigation, scan
and enter keys. This highly functional layout places high use keys at the user’s finger
tips. Maximized key sizes drive additional user efficiency with or without gloves. A
choice of crystal clear full VGA and QVGA displays and the back lit keyboard make
the Falcon X3+ readable in dark back corners or full sunlight.
The Falcon X3+ leverages Datalogic’s software development kit (SDK) for creating
applications. The Datalogic™ SDK provides a set of libraries allowing easy
application development using C++, .NET and Java programming languages. Both
MCL Collection and Wavelink® Studio™ offer additional solutions to enable
development. For terminal emulation environments available tools include the
Wavelink Industrial Browser™, Wavelink Terminal Emulation, and Wavelink
Speakeasy.
Wavelink Avalanche™ device management tools make the Falcon X3+ an easy
device to both deploy and maintain. Datalogic Desktop, Configuration and Firmware
Utilities deliver unprecedented ability to customize and update device configuration to
the use environment or process. For small or remote installations, Scan to Configure
provides simple barcodes that anyone can use to configure the Falcon X3+. Wavelink
Remote Control allows an administrator to remotely diagnose and remedy both
applications and device settings. For added security the Falcon X3+ can be
implemented with Wavelink CE Secure and Wavelink Certificate Manager.

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
The field of view changes its size as you move the reader closer or farther away from
the code. The field of view indicated by the aiming system pattern will be smaller
when the Falcon X3+ Imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code.
Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the
unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from
the unit (see par. 5.1 for further details).
If the scan has taken place correctly:
the Good Read LED glows steadily Green for a configurable time;
if enabled, the GoodReadSound emits an acoustic signal;
If enabled, the Good Read Beep plays.

A metatag is a special HTML tag that stores information about a Web page but does
not display in a Web browser. For example, metatags provide information such as
the program used to create the page, a description of the page, and keywords
relevant to the page.
As per the HTML specification, all metatags must be contained within a <head> …
</head> tag set.
Also, the head tag set must be complete within the first 15K of the web page.
The Datalogic Locked Web Browser defines some special metatags that allow the
web application to interact with the device:
In particular, the special metatags allow it to:
- enable/disable scan engine triggers
- enable/disable specific symbologies in the scan engine
- easily assign a key press to a javascript function.
Metatag settings of trigger enable, symbology enable, or DL_Key assignments
persist past the page in which they are loaded. The settings stay in effect until they
are changed by another metatag.
Trigger Metatag
DL_Triggers – “Enable” or “Disable” all triggers
If the page contains this tag, the triggers are enabled or disabled, depending on the
“content=” value.
Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_Triggers" content="Disable">

GetSerialNumber Metatag
DL_GetSerialNumber – Obtains the device serial number and sends it as an
argument to a customer’s javascript function.
Content – name of function to pass serial number to. Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_GetSerialNumber" content="Javascript:CustomerFunction">
When a page with this metatag is loaded, the content should be a javascript function
that receives one parameter, the serial number. An example would be function
CustomerFunction(SerialNumber).
Reboot – Warm boot device Metatag
DL_Reboot – Warm boot device.
Content – “OnPageLoad” – Warm boot immediately upon page load.
Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_Reboot" content=" OnPageLoad ">
Exit Metatag
DL_Exit – Exit the Locked Web Browser.
Content – “OnPageLoad” – Exit immediately upon page load. If “Exit password” has
been enabled in the Locked Web Browser options, the Exit password will be required
before exit.
Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_ Exit " content=" OnPageLoad ">

Decoding Metatags:
Each decoding metatag has a possible content of “Enable” or “Disable”. The settings
are valid for the entire page (enables/disables each symbology).

Key press Metatags
The key press metatags can be used to call JavaScript functions. They have the
name structure: “DL_Key_xxx” where xxx is the VKey code.
Example:
<meta http-equiv="DL_Key_13" content="Javascript:CheckEnter();">
Assigning a key press via a DL_Key metatag overrides its use on the page. For
instance, when entering data in a text box a character assigned as a DL_Key would
not be entered in the text box. Instead, the javascript action would occur.
Refer to the Microsoft website to find the list of all the possible Vkey codes:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa243025(VS.60).aspx
Because DL_Keys persist past the page in which they were loaded,
the DL_Clear metatag is provided to clear the settings on subsequent
page loads.
NOTE
Scanning Metatags
DL_Scan – Captures scan results and sends barcode/tag value to a javascript
function on the web page.
If the “content=” value is a javascript function the device will be taken out of keyboard
wedge mode and start listening for scan events. A scanned barcode/tag result will be
used as an argument to that javascript function which is then invoked.
If the “content=” value is “Wedge” then the device will stop listening for scanned
event and enter keyboard wedge mode.
If the “content=” value is “Disable” then the device will stop listening for scanned
events but not enter keyboard wedge mode.
Example:
<meta http-equiv=”DL_Scan” content=”Javascript:ValidateInput()”>

4.13 AUTOSTART
The AutoStart program provides three functions:
- Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line
arguments) to run automatically prior to loading CAB files.
- Automatically reinstalls specified CAB files when the Falcon X3+ is cold booted.
- Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line
arguments) to run automatically after lo\ading CAB files.
AutoStart launches each time the Falcon X3+ is rebooted executing each line with
the specified command line arguments. It will take into account any AutoStart options
at the beginning of the line.
Upon a Cold Boot, AutoStart installs all the CAB files located in the \CAB folder. If the
CAB folder does not exist, no CAB files will be installed.
AutoStart will then run the Autostart.ini from the \root directory, executing
each line with the specified command line arguments. It will take into account any
AutoStart options at the beginning of the line.
4.13.1 Installing CAB files
Copy any CAB files you want to install into the \CAB folder. These CAB files will then
be automatically in-stalled in alphabetical order the next time you start the device.
USE AND FUNCTIONING

4.13.2 How AutoStart Uses Wceload
If you intend to create highly interactive installers, you should either
install the CABs manually or review the section on “Interactive CAB
Install” in this chapter..
NOTE
In certain environments, CAB files will be deleted after execution.
To prevent the CAB file from being deleted, write protect the file
before copying the file onto the device.
CAUTION
CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application. The
following table shows available command line option:
Option Description
/noui
Specifies that you will not be prompted for any input during the
installation. If the CAB file is signed, any responses will automatically
be answered ‘Yes.’ If the CAB is unsigned, then any responses will
be answered ‘No.’
/silent Suppresses dialog boxes during the installation.
Please refer to the Microsoft documentation on your device for further details on
Wceload.exe.
Sample:
\Windows\Wceload.exe /delete 1 /noui /silent
“\CAB\<cab file>”
1 FALCON™ X3+

4.13.3 Interactive CAB Install
If the CAB installer requires user interaction that must be performed
during the AutoStart CAB installation process, you can specify a special
file name to disable the silent mode installation. If this mode is specified,
the CAB file will be installed with Wceload without any command line
arguments specified.
An example of what AutoStart would execute is:
\Windows\Wceload.exe <cab file>
To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to include a ‘_’
character before the “.cab” extension of the file.
Example:
“File.cab” should be renamed “File_.cab” to force AutoStart to not
install the CAB in silent mode. This specially-named CAB file should be placed in the
AutoStart folder with other CAB files intended for installation on the next reboot.
4.13.4 Autostart.ini
A file named ‘PreAuto.ini’ can also be created in addition to or
instead of Autostart.ini. PreAuto.ini is executed before CAB files in
the \Cab folder are installed. Autostart.ini is executed after CAB files
in the \Cab folder are installed. The format for the PreAuto.ini is
identical to that of Autostart.ini..”
NOTE
Autostart.ini is a text file that AutoStart will run upon startup of the Falcon X3+, and
after any CAB files are installed. This file should be placed in the \root folder.
AutoStart will run the Autostart.ini file on each reboot of the device.
Line Formatting
Each line of the Autostart.ini can consist of Autostart options, an
executable, and any command line arguments.
< Autostart option(s)> <full path to executable>
<command line arguments>
Sample:
- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc
USE AND FUNCTIONING
111
4
The following table breaks down the sample Autostart.ini line:
Autostart option(s) Full path to executable Command line arguments
- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc
Spaces must be placed between each component of the line in the Autostart.ini.
If the executable path is in a folder that contains spaces in the name, quotes are
required to distinguish what the actual executable name is. The following is an
example of this:
“\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe” /run
(valid)
\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe /run
(invalid)
The second line is an invalid line because there is no way to distinguish the
executable from the argument.

AutoStart Options
The table below shows options you can use when writing a line in the Autostart.ini
file.
Description Character Comments
Comment: This line will not be
executed. ‘#’ OR ‘ ‘ (space)
This may only be used as the
first character of the line. If the
comment option is specified in
the options elsewhere, it is
ignored.
Do not wait on line completion:
This will cause the line to
execute and immediately move
onto the next line.
‘-’
Query: Request user
confirmation when running the
executable.
‘?’
This will halt parsing the
Autostart.ini until the
confirmation is answered. This
is intended for debugging the
Autostart.ini file.
Execute only on Cold Reset ‘!’
Execute only after a warm boot %
Cold Reset Only: This will cause the line to execute only after a Cold Reset.
An empty line will be treated as a comment line.
NOTE

Combining Options
Autostart options can be combined together as shown in the following sample:
?- \Windows\Pword.exe
This line would:
Request confirmation before executing the line. The next line would not be
processed before the confirmation is answered.
Run the next line without waiting on the current line to complete execution.
Query Option
The query option is intended for use when debugging the autostart.ini. When a line
with this option is executed, the following dialog will appear with the specified
executable and command line arguments. The populated fields shown in the
AutoStart Execute Query are described the next table:
Field Description
Line Number This is the line number in the script being executed.
Exe The executable as parsed by AutoStart.
Args The argument as parsed by AutoStart.

The fields may be broken up into multiple lines (as shown in the
example) due to limited space in the dialog.
NOTE
AutoStart Query Options
Parentheses are used to surround the given field and make it very clear what the
value of the field is.
The following table describes the results of each choice:
Button Action
Yes The current line will execute.
No The current line will not execute. AutoStart will continue
parsing the Autostart.ini.
Cancel The current line will not execute and AutoStart will
discontinue parsing the Autostart.ini.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on the below FCC ID: U4GFX3P.
This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you
do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the device is switched on.

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.
Applet
Diminutive form of app (application), it refers to simple, single-function programs that
often ship with a larger product. Programs such as Windows' Calculator, File
Manager, and Notepad are examples of applets.
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 device is compatible with the 2.1 protocol with Enhanced Data Rate
(EDR).
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.
147
Decode
To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9,
UPC/EAN, etc.) and convert the content of the bar code scanned from a visual
pattern into electronic data.
Depth of Field (DOF)
The portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image. Although a lens
can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on
each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is
imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only memory. An on-board non-volatile
memory chip.
Ethernet
The standard local area network (LAN) access method. A reference to "LAN," "LAN
connection" or "network card" automatically implies Ethernet. Defined by the IEEE as
the 802.3 standard, Ethernet is used to connect computers in a company or home
network as well as to connect a single computer to a cable modem or DSL modem
for Internet access.
Firmware
Firmware is a software program or set of instructions programmed on a hardware
device. It provides the necessary instructions for how the device communicates with
the other computer hardware. Firmware is typically stored in the flash ROM of a
hardware device. While ROM is "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and
rewritten because it is actually a type of flash memory.
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.

IEEE 802.11
A set of standards carrying out wireless local area network (WLAN) computer
communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. They are created and
maintained by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee.
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).
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.
Null modem cable
RS-232 serial cable where the transmit and receive lines are crosslinked. In some
cables there are also handshake lines crosslinked. In many situations a straight
through serial cable is used, together with a null modem adapter. The adapter
contains the necessary crosslinks between the signals.
Pairing
A Bluetooth pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices agree to communicate with
each other and establish a connection.
Piconet
A piconet is a Bluetooth PAN that links up to eight devices. Each piconet is controlled
by one master device, and up to seven slave devices at any one time. Any device
may be a member of more than one piconet, changing its membership as a user
moves from one area to another.
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.
149
TDMA
Time division multiple access (TDMA) is digital transmission technology that allows a
number of users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel without interference
by allocating unique time slots to each user within each channel. The TDMA digital
transmission scheme multiplexes three signals over a single channel. The current
TDMA standard for cellular divides a single channel into six time slots, with each
signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1 gain in capacity over advanced mobile-
phone service (AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks,
modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer.
A “plug-and-play” interface, it allows a device to be added without an adapter card
and without rebooting the computer (the latter is known as hot-plugging). The USB
standard, developed by several major computer and telecommunications companies,
supports data-transfer speeds up to 12 megabits per second, multiple data streams,
and up to 127 peripherals.
WLAN
A Wireless Local Area Network links devices via a wireless distribution method
(typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually provides a connection
through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move
around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network.
WPAN
A Wireless Personal Area Network is a personal area network - a network for
interconnecting devices centered around an individual person's workspace - in which
the connections are wireless. Typically, a wireless personal area network uses some
technology that permits communication within about 10 meters - in other words, a
very short range
WWAN
Stands for "Wide Area Network." It is similar to a Local Area Network (LAN), but it is
not limited to a single location and it uses Mobile telecommunication cellular network
technologies such as UMTS, GPRS, CDMA2000, GSM, CDPD, Mobitex, HSDPA or
3G to transfer data. WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a WWAN
card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from
anywhere within the regional boundaries of cellular service.
