The DWT7133 is a handheld terminal having the size of a normal optical pen. It incorporates a powerful microprocessor, a real time clock, a large memory, a bar code decoder/reader and an optical interface for communication.
The DWT7133 handheld wand terminal is user programmable. The incorporated bar code pen easily reads all popular bar code symbologies. Visual feedback and assistance is provided on a LCD display. It is ideal for numerous applications and outdoor use because it is lightweight, robust and watertight.
The terminal is programmable with ANSI “C” language. This means data storage and processing can be customized conform your own requirements and preferences. Data transmission to a host system can be achieved by using the DCW9931 cradle. This cradle supports both RS232 and RS485 communication, which allows you to connect only one or several cradles to a host computer. It offers you the possibility to use the terminal in a network structure.
Application programs can be written on your Personal Computer. The DCW9931 cradle is used to download application programs to the DWT7133 terminal.
INTRODUCTION
Opticon user's manual
When placing the terminal on the cradle, make sure that the terminal is placed fully inwards the cradle. If the terminal is not placed correctly there is no contact with the cradle, and as a result communication or charging activity is not possible.
The following points should be observed:
The reading tip of the terminal will be
placed inwards the cradle.
The clip on the backside of the terminal
should fit into the saving on the cradle.
The terminal is pressed with slight force
into the direction of the cradle untill it fits properly.
Typically the yellow gasket at the top of the
terminal should align with the edge of the cradle.
