Developer’s Perspective

MCL-Collection is designed with you in mind. It is a high-productivity development, integration, and deployment environment for mobile worker applications. It is enterprise-ready and open standards-based.

Here is a brief overview of the features designed to make your job easier:

High-productivity development environment. Quickly create sophisticated, enterprise-ready, mobile workforce, data capture applications with cross-platform portability.

Multimodal applications. Create applications that combine technologies such as barcode scanners, touch screens, keyboards, signature capture, imagers, radio frequency identification, displays, printers, and voice recognition in one application.

Graphical User Interface. Use graphical, high productivity features such as dialogue boxes, radio buttons, drag-and drop, cut-and-paste, screen viewer, screen copy, screen insert, and screen delete.

Processes. Implement complex application logic quickly via MCL-Designer’s built-in “processes”. These processes facilitate host access, file manipulation, mathematical computations, communications, and more.

Custom Library. Accelerate development by creating a library of your own frequently used MCL objects for reuse in numerous projects and applications.

Thick client/server architecture. Create device resident applications that control and take advantage of all the unique features of each mobile computer.

Simulator and Advanced Debugger. Simulate your application during development. Debug your application with line-by-line control. MCL-Designer’s Simulator, Debugger, and Verifier are unsurpassed in the industry for application development, testing, and on-going maintenance.

Report Generator. Use this function to boost productivity and quality assurance. How often do your final documents reflect the actual deployed applications? MCL-Designer unburdens you from the tedious, yet critical, task of keeping your documentation in-sync with your applications.

Communications. Create mobile applications that transition seamlessly back and forth between:

ƒReal-time communications and batch communications.

ƒContinuously connected and occasionally connected states.

ƒWireless LAN, wireless WAN, and wired communications environments.

Visualize applying your creativity on application and integration design, and not on line-by-line code generation.
