1. Introduction
The Job Generator Utility for Windows is a tool assistant for users to create their own data
collecting applications without developing program code. The utility can help user to simulate
the working sequences when developing applications on PC. The whole process of the
application development is just by keying parameters or required factors in the dialogue boxes
in the job generator utility and downloading it to the terminal. A new application can be
developed promptly and the job of collecting data can be started at once.

4. Application Template
Move the mouse cursor to the “New” item of the Main Setting Window (figure 2) and click mouse
left button, the Application Template, will be shown (figure 3).
Application Template, Figure 3
The Application Template which includes Form, Menu, and Lookup, Barcode, and Startup settings
to formulate the application’s running sequence and data attributes.
The template can help user develop an application by clicking mouse button and entering
parameters or factors into the dialogue boxes.
4.1. Form
The Form is aimed to regulate the data attributes and make the path of the application's
routine. The user is requested to key in all the needed information in the dialogue boxes of the
template which may design the running sequence or may define data attributes.
There are up to 10 forms can be defined and every form can be defined up to 8 input fields
which contains maximum data length up to 50 characters.
4.1.1. Name:
Assign a name of the form (form ID). There are up to 10 name# can be assigned.
4.1.2. Esc:
Map out the running route of the form# to one of the next steps, “Main Menu” or “form#” or
“menu#”.
4.1.3. Next:
Map out the running route of the form# to one of the next steps, “Main Menu” or “form#” or
“menu#”.

4.1.4. Date Stamp:
None: No Date Stamp appends to the record.
+yyyy/mm/dd: Date Stamp to be appended to the rear of the record
in the format of yyyy/mm/dd.
yyyy/mm/dd+: Date Stamp to be appended to the front of the record
in the format of yyyy/mm/dd.
4.1.5. Time Stamp:
None: No Time Stamp appends to the record.
+hh:mm:ss: Time Stamp to be appended to the rear of the record in
the format of hh:mm:ss.
hh:mm:ss+: Time Stamp to be appended to the front of the record in
the format of hh:mm:ss.
4.1.6. Lookup
Assign the form# to refer to which lookup file or not to do lookup function. One form refer to
one lookup file only if lookup function is enabled..
None: Not to enable the lookup function.
Lookup1: Refer to Lookup1 file.
Lookup2: Refer to Lookup2 file.
Lookup3: Refer to Lookup3 file.
4.1.7. Record
Save: Save is the default value. The data which collected in the field by running
the designed sequence in this form will be saved to record immediately.
Update Lookup: To update the lookup file that the form is current referred to.
Save & Update: Save the record to the data file also update the current lookup file which
the form is referred to.
Passdown: The form will not be saved as a data file. It will link to the next assigned
menu(s) or form(s).
4.1.8. Data Type:
None: The field is blocked, which does not allow any data key in.
Text: Allow any characters (e.g. &*abe123…) key in to the field.
Integer: Allow any integer (e.g. 12345…) key in to the field.
Real: Allow any real number (e.g. 1.23) key in to this filed.
7
7
Letter: Allow any alphabet character (A to Z) key in to this filed.
Boolean: Allow only “0”,”1”,”y” or “N” key in to this field.
Lookup: This setting can call the Lookup at this manual designated as 4.1.6. to find a
referred file and to manage the key in data to check with referred lookup file.
Fixed Data: Prompts will be shown when the filed is presented at the terminal and the
prompts to be saved to record (data file).
Prompt: Prompts will be shown when the filed is presented at the terminal and the
prompts will not be saved to record (data file).
Counter: The record counts will be shown but not to save to record (data file).
Passdown: This field's data is from the preceding form or menu which Record
(please refer to 4.1.7 Record) type is defined as passdown.
Extension: Duplicate the preceding line's Data Type except the prompts in this filed.
This function is for data display purpose when preceding line doesn't have
enough space to display the content of data in the terminal. When data input is
over the space of the preceding line, the overflowed data would be shown at
this duplicate line. The maximum data length of proceeding filed minus
preceding field's prompt length is the maximum data length of this extension
line.
4.1.9. Prompt
Specify the heading of the input field.
4.1.10. Input Source
Assign the data input by keypad, scanner, or by both of them.
4.1.11. Min Length
Min Length can define the minimum length of the data. If set to “0”, then, it doesn't limit any
data input. Press “enter” to jump to next data input field if it intends to leave empty. If the min.
length is set over “0” and the input data number is less than set value, then the system would
give a warning message.
To purge the setting and re-define the length, press “ESC” to restart the job and input data
again.
4.1.12. Max Length
Max Length can define the maximum length of the data input (up to 50 digits).
If the data input is over the area that the field can display, then, the input data will be
left-scroll or the overflowed. The input data would be display to next the line if the line is set

to Extension.
If the input data is over the maximum length setting there would have a warning message
Press “ESC” and input data again.
4.1.13. Lookup
Here the lookup field to be set to update or refer to the lookup file (4.1.6.) whenever the
matched lookup setting call at Data Type (4.1.8.) is called. One more important notice that if
the numeric input data comes a “+” or “-” symbol in front of it; it means any updated data will
be added or subtracted from the original lookup file. Please notice that it is designed the
lookup file data won't be subtracted to below “0”.
4.1.14. Properties
Move mouse cursor to the “Properties” item and click left button, the Properties, figure 4 will
be shown.

Job Application
The chapter aims to tutor how to design an application. There is a Program Template File at
CD disk, its file name is Pegasus.apg which is the example file to guide user how an
application be designed.
Assuming that the application consists of user identified number, location, item no. item, and
quantity variables and the working flow of the application is framed as below:
10.1. Run the Job Generator Utility
The Main Menu figure will be shown on the PC.

Move the mouse cursor to any location on the picture of the terminal (figure 1), and click right
button, or
Move the mouse cursor to the location of “PWR” key of the terminal (figure 1), and click left
button.
When one of those two above mentioned operational ways is performed, the Main Setting

The figure 26 shows the detailed settings of form1 at the Application Template.
Those settings are described as below:
Name: Form1 – this form’s ID
Esc: Menu1 – when an “Esc” command is called, the application would head into
Menu1.
Next: Form2 – when a “next” command is called, the application would head into
Form2.

scanner, then the “ENTER” is automatically executed while the data key-in is
by keypad, then the “ENTER” has to be pressed by operator to complete the
key-in process.
Min Length: 1 – the number of the data is not less than 1 digit.
