The functionality of the terminal is determined
by software, the so-called user application,
that is running on the terminal.

A tool for developing a user application on
the PC for use on the terminal, as supplied
by Opticon is:

C language, consisting of:

- Microtec ANSI-C compiler

- C library for handheld terminals

- RF-ID addon library

Note!

An additional C-library for the PHL2700

with RF-ID feature has been developed,
that needs to be used together with the
C-compiler and C-library for handheld
terminals.

Application Generator Potstar will soon

support Opticon handheld terminals
with RF-ID technology.
