You can't do anything until you have a program which loads when the PDT boots and accepts your inputs whether with the laser or keyboard.
Contact any company which has ever had software for the PDT and see what you can get from them.
The PDT is useless without a program loaded onto it. Think...
They quoted me two or three hundred dollars I believe.
Thanks for the offer but I can't accept to share the program.
I think you're going to find that these terminals are so old that nearly no-one has been developing for them for years. The terminal is a portable computer which has flash type...
jinxnz,
You need to load a program onto the PDT in order to use it for your stock take. The lwp.hex and the like are not enough to get you going.
I had contacted these guys about purchasing their program, but I don't have the money to do it. Barcode Datalink in Australia...
Your best solution is probably to (re)train your users.
The three levels you mention are correct. The PDT terminal is a small hand held computer which uses DOS as it's Operating System - some programs are loaded at boot - what they are or how they interact with the server is the part that's...
The scanner is running some program which needs to be modified to beep based on what comes back from the server when the barcode isn't matched. The process for reading a barcode is probably similar to: squeeze trigger --> barcode is read and info sent to server --> server responds and sends...
Good thought, and I'm sure it worked well.
Two things about that idea don't work for me.
1. I don't have an SAP Server
2. I don't have good wireless coverage through my warehouse - even though it's small and I haven't been able to get my PDT to communicate wirelessly anyway.
Thanks for the...
I'm able to communicate with the PDT with no problem. Load firmware, programs, download scanned data, etc.
The thing I'm stuck on and have essentially given up on is that I can't quickly, easily and in-expensively create a program to run (on the PDT) which will allow me to scan a location...
Can you post a link to the barcode so others can test it?
I would think it's use would depend on the scanner and might require programming (probably in the form of scanning another barcode) to allow the scanner to send a combination of keys simultaneously not just one key after the other as it...
Thanks for the info about Wavelink. I'll see what I can do with what's available there.
I keep meaning to try Symbol (motorola) but each time I get distracted by some other issue and put this on the back burner.
I guess I don't understand enough about why you need only the "last" 7 characters. And how you will know certain serial numbers are or aren't valid.
Are you writing some process that will work with the input from the scanner? or are you simply trying to transmit valid data from the scanner to...
But the characters you need are always the first seven numeric characters after any alpha, space, or other marks?
Can you extract those by locating the first numeric digit in the middle of the string then taking 7 to the right of that?
I hope this question fits the category closely enough.
I recently received a PDT 6846 when a friends company was consolidating their warehouse operations and closed some branches.
Unfortunately I'm not any sort of DOS programmer and am at a total loss when it comes to writing a simple program...
You need the Code 39 extended characters to use lower case.
There's a font for it - I've got something called "Free3of9" and it's got both standard and extended versions.
Hope that helps.
thanks for the initial response. I realize I was a bit vague, and I think your suggestion is a good one. Unfortunately, it's not the answer I wanted, I'd of course wanted to hear: "yes, it's possible, just use the following function." However, this will force me to grow as a programmer, and...
Is this even possible? I would figure with a little VBA and RegEx it can be done, but I have no idea where to begin.
Anyone that's done it before care to share a little advice, or snipets?
If it helps, I'm attempting to import a Web Server log into Access for some processing, but the...
when you take a power point presentation and save it as html, the images are enhanced quite a bit compared to what they were originally in the presentation. however, due to the way the page is generated, you can't simply right click and save them.
can they be extracted? I don't just want the...
I believe there is some sort of date issue with AI10. Have you tried simply changing the clock back to 2001 and then installing and then changing the clock back to 2003? I've heard of some limitation, but I don't have all the details.
can you get an external ISDN modem? and then use that in conjunction with a broadband wired & wireless router? Netgear, SMC, and ZyXel are a few brands which come to mind immediately. If you can get an external ISDN modem which offers a RJ45 output, it would be easy to connect to the WAM port...
