Denso 400BW-CE, BHT-400B-CE 2.1 BHT System Configuration

2.1 BHT System Configuration

The BHT barcode data collection system requires the following hardware as well as the BHT Barcode

Handy Terminal (which reads barcodes and accepts keypad entry), depending upon the intended

system configuration.

• Host computer: Allows you to edit, manage and download user programs and

data, as well as downloading system programs.

For host computers having no IrDA interface ports, the optional CU-400 optical communication unit and

RS-232C interface cable (for CU-401) or USB cable (for CU-421) are available.

• CU-400 (option): Exchanges programs and data with the BHT via the IrDA interface

and with the host computer via the RS-232C (CU-401) or USB

(CU-421) interface.

• RS-232C interface cable (option): Connects the CU-401 and the host computer.

• USB interface cable (option): Connects the CU-421 and the host computer.

Connector interface cable/USB cable connection between the BHT and host computer is also possible.

As an application development tool, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ (Service Pack 4 or later), Microsoft

Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 should be used.
