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. Three 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 offers an aggressive scanning solution.

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 / 256 MB 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 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 5000 mAh battery into both of these packages.

1 1

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 IP64 sealing against water and dust 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 through out 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 with out gloves. A crystal clear QVGA display and 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.

To recalibrate the touch screen use the Stylus Applet (see par. 4.7.4).

CAUTION

Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Use only original Datalogic styluses supplied with the product itself.

In harsh applications, use of screen protectors should be taken into consideration, in order to extend the touch screen operating life.

To prevent damage to the screen, do not use sharp devices or any device other than the Datalogic Mobile-provided stylus.

Do not apply unnecessary high pressures on the screen. For applications where an intensive use of the touch screen is

foreseen, please consider that touch screen components are subject to progressive wear.
