This document describes examples of the last two options. For details on the first option, see the SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s manual. The following software is preloaded on the Formula™: PALPRO (Portable Application Library)∗. - The following softwares must first be installed on a PC through the Formula™ CD: Software Tool Installation Folder EASYGEN C:\”INSTALLATION FOLDER”\Formula Software Tools\EasyGen SYSTOOLS C:\”INSTALLATION FOLDER”\Formula Software Tools\SysTools STANDARD MODE M1 APPLICATION FILES C:\”INSTALLATION FOLDER”\Formula Software Tools\Applications\Standard Mode Application ENHANCED MODE M2 APPLICATION FILES C:\”INSTALLATION FOLDER”\Formula Software Tools\Applications\Enhanced Mode Application See chapter 3.1 of Formula™ User’s manual Software Overview for further details. ∗ A backup copy of the application is also in the Formula™ CD. 1 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 thekey. The following screen appears: Select Font F1 = Wide English F2 = Normal English F3 = Simplified Chinese F4 = Traditional Chinese 2. Select the font. The following screen appears: FORMULA Ver.: 1.00 System RAM 1MB 01/01/08 00:21:48 Press F-key If the Formula™ does not turn on when the key is pressed, you many need to recharge the main battery. NOTE 3. Press any function key to move to the next screen: APPLICATION/TEST F1=PALPRO F2=SIMPLEAPPL 4. 2 Once the unit has been initialized, the display will show the APPLICATION menu in the Figure above. 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). The Formula™ is now ready to begin collecting data. For information about sending collected data from the Formula™ to a PC, refer to par. 3.5. 2.2 SETTING UP THE FORMULA™ You can collect data records on the Formula™, and send the records later to a host PC. The number of data records that can be collected before being uploaded are 2500 for each application. 2.2.1 Getting Started Unless it has been customized, the Formula™ is programmed from the factory for basic data collection using PALPRO. NOTE This chapter describes how to use the Formula™ with its original PSC programming (i.e. PALPRO). If the Formula™ has been customized, it may operate differently. Check with a systems administrator for revised operating instructions. If the Formula™ does not turn on when the key is pressed, you many need to recharge the main battery. 3 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. Use two digits each for the month, day, and year (e.g., 092302 for the Figure above). Press to accept the entry. With the F1 key you can switch from US date format (MM/DD/YY) to International date format (DD/MM/YY). Current Time: 21:17:32 Enter New Time: ¤ F1=12h/24h The next display screen shows the time currently loaded in the Formula™’s memory. If the displayed time is correct, press the key. If the time is wrong, enter the correct time in 24-hour format. Use two digits each for the hour, minute, and seconds (e.g., 211732 for the Figure above). With the F1 key you can switch from 12 hour format to 24 hour format. 4 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™. ENTER CURRENT OR NEW PASSWORD ¤ F-KEY=SET TIME Without the password, the worker cannot switch applications or make changes to an application’s title or prompts. The password prompt screen appears after entering the date and time from the application’s initial startup. If you lose or forget your password, you must reset the Formula™ and start over with a new password. CAUTION After you enter your password, the text in the following Figure 2-5 is displayed. PSC PALPRO 08:18:04¤ 10/16/02 F-KEY=CONTINUE Press any function key to bring up the PALPRO Options menu. The Formula™ is now ready to collect data. 2.2.4 Setting Font Size To shift from wide font to normal font press Shift-F2.

NOTE Select the TERMINALS tab to view the following screen. The FILE NAME for collected data must have a .dat extension (default name is TERM001.dat), followed by the PATH where the data will be uploaded to on the PC. Default symbology setting is Code 39. OPTION 1: Select the BARCODE TYPE button to enable other symbology types before sending it to the terminal. OPTION 2: Use the Ready to Use Applications Programming BarCode for programming options including symbology settings. See the Ready-to-Use Applications User’s manual or the Ready-to-Use Applications Programming BarCode Document for further details. Select SETUP, the following screen should appear: 47 READY TO USE APPLICATIONS Select OK in the Formula Control Properties to return to the main SysTools™ screen. The Formula™ is now associated with the SysTools™ software program. 48 FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 3.4 TRANSMITTING A CUSTOM CONFIGURATION FILE TO THE FORMULA™ Once the Formula™ has been associated with the SysTools™ Software program, a custom configuration file (.prg) can be sent. Refer to SysTools™ User's manual for further details. Select FILE – NEW in order to create a custom configuration for your needs. In the example below, we will create a two prompts program where: Prompt 1 = CODE for barcode data and Prompt 2 = QUANTITY. Select FILE – NEW to access the following screen: 49 READY TO USE APPLICATIONS For our two prompts example, set the parameters to the following settings. (NOTE: the program name can be changed). The number of maximum records are now set to 500. Select the FIELDS tab to view the following screen. Our program will use CODE as a prompt 1 title (for barcode data) with a maximum length of 13 digits. 50 FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Click on ADD FIELD for a second prompt and set the parameters to the settings shown below, where: NAME = QUANTITY, VERIFY CHARACTERS are only numeric (0-9). For additional fields, simply click on ADD FIELD for a new input. NUMBER (2/2) indicates the number of the fields created, click on the forward or the back arrow to move between the field screens. Once all the parameters has been entered, insure the Formula™ is connected. Select SEND. The following screen will appear prompting for a program name: Select YES and verify the program name. The following prompt will appear to verify the terminal. In this case it is Terminal #1: 51 READY TO USE APPLICATIONS Select OK. After the program has been installed, the following screen will display: The Formula™ is now ready for use. Collect data using the installed CODE and QUANTITY two prompts program! *NOTE: For barcode programming options, refer to the program document titled “Ready-to-Use Applications Programming BarCode Document” via the installation CD, USER MANUALS section. 52 FORMULA™ QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 3.5 UPLOADING COLLECTED .DAT FILE DATA TO A PC To upload the data (.dat file) to a PC, do the following steps: Verify that USB cable is connected and open SysTools™ (Standard / Enhanced mode) to view the following main menu screen: 53 READY TO USE APPLICATIONS Select CONNECT (the Formula™ will emit a tone).
