Code Alarm CR3 manual Introduction

1.1 - Introduction

The CR3 establishes a new benchmark for Portable Data Terminals and Hand Held Computers by combining the industry’s best imaging technology with a graphic display and rugged keyboard to create the smallest and lightest full-featured bar code reading terminal on the market.

Using the same ergonomic platform as the highly

successful Code Reader 2.0, the CR3 extends mobilefeaturing all-symbology bar code reading to include information

display and keyboard entry.

The CR3 instantly reads large linear as well as high density matrix symbols due to Code Corporation’s unique Dynamic Optimization Technology (DOT), which continuously adapts the resolution, illumination, and image fi eld for the fastest automatic symbology identifi cation and decoding over the widest range of symbology types, sizes, recording surfaces and ambient lighting. With DOT, the CR3 achieves matrix symbol decoding at speeds that are similar to linear bar code decoding, while preserving battery energy. By monitoring each user’s reading patterns, DOT reduces training time and eliminates the need for manual confi guration optimization through parameter settings.

Code eliminates the need for costly, high-overhead operating systems by providing an open platform JavaScript development environment within its CodeXML Applications Development Suite. With CodeXML and JavaScript, Developers and Information Technology organizations no longer need to worry about ex- pensive porting of applications between Windows, Windows Pocket PC, Windows CE.Net, et.al.. A unique feature of the Applications Development Suite has the ability to protect both development investment and data security by a customer-unique key encryption, which allows the developer to control the distribution and modifi cation of applications to specifi c serial-numbered CR3 units.

The CR3 features a 1.3 MegaPixel dual-fi eld image collection engine, a 400MHz AMD Al- chemy Au1100 CPU, and 8MB of non-volatile memory. Portable operations are supported by a 1950 mAH Lithium Ion Battery and a Real Time Clock with its own battery backup sys- tem. For wireless communications, a 2.4 GHz radio system is available and compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth™ systems, as well as the CodeXML Modem, with a unique data and pairing encryption system for unsurpassed wireless data security.

The CR3 will instantly decode all bar and 2D codes
