SECTION 1 | General Information |
Batch Terminal Operation
Your hand-held computer contains internal memory so it can collect and store data and then at the end of a day or shift, transmit (send) it to a centrally located host comput- er. Many applications do this upload and download of in- formation daily, but sometimes this may happen several times a day, or only occur weekly.
Terminal Emulation
In Terminal Emulation you are using your hand-held computer to imitate the appearance and operation of another terminal (usually a particular IBM or DEC display monitor). The keyboard overlays for the emulated terminals supported by this computer are contained in Appendix B.
Accessories and Options
Internal Scanner
Your hand-held computer can be ordered with an internal integrated scanner. An integrated scanner provides the con- venience of having a computer and scanner in one, for the freedom of one handed operation.
Internal Radio
Your hand-held computer can be factory equipped with ei- ther a 902 MHz or 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio. This computer with a radio provides for both batch (store and forward data transfer later) and real-time (right now) inter- action with your host computer or network for flexibility of operation.
