512K Memory
All 512K of memory is available for user data storage;
no memory is taken up for programs or voice messages.
The 512K memory corresponds to 85,333 individual 6 digit
bar codes that can be stored in memory.
Voice Prompting
in Addition to the LCD Display
You can pre-record up to 99 custom audible voice messages
in addition to the standard displayable prompts on the
4x20 LCD. Your pre-recorded messages play at the times
you have specified. The voice messages are clear and
easily heard through either the high quality speaker
or through an earphone in noisy environments. Voice
messages are not required. You can use the traditional
display only, or display in conjunction with voice prompts.
Voice messages are beneficial in dimly lit or extreme
cold areas, can facilitate faster scanning, and can
be recorded in any language. This is a Worth Data exclusive
and patented feature.
USB Interface
For USB interface,
the TriCoder features a built-in USB port for quick
connection and easy communication using the C21 USB
Cable. Data can be uploaded into a file or directly
into the application programs as keyboard data.
High speed USB Uploading (using our supplied
high-speed USB driver) transfers data 40 times faster
than your serial port, and hundreds of times faster
than your keyboard! USB
offers the best of both worlds - simple keyboard input
and lightning-fast data uploads, firmware changes,
program uploads/downloads, and table downloads!
Keyboard Interface
The keyboard interface TriCoder™ is connected in
series with the keyboard, using a supplied "Y" cable.
Data is uploaded as keyboard data to your keyboard port.
Keyboard Y-Cable interfaces are available for PC/XT/AT,
PS/2 keyboard, or Macintosh keyboard. (Keyboard input
support is also included on all TriCoder models with
the USB interface.)
Serial Uploading
The serial interface TriCoder™ is connected to
a serial port - your choice of RS-232 or RS-422. Data
can then be uploaded to any computer with a serial port
into a file or directly into the application programs.
TriCoder Utilities for Windows is included for
uploading of data and programs to the host computer
via the Serial port. (The TriCoder Utilities files that
come with the TriCoder can also be downloaded from our
Download Page.)
Laser, CCD
or Wand Scanners
The standard TriCoder supports attachment of your choice
of bar code scanners including; steel switch wands,
CCD scanners, or our laser scanners. Our integrated
laser TriCoder offers a built in laser so that no separate
scanner is needed.
No Programming
Necessary
You don't need to program the TriCoder if you can use
either of the two built-in programs provided. Here's
what they do:
- Program 1
records all bar codes read.
- Program 2
records item numbers and quantities (Including playing
of Voice Messages).
Easy Programming
The TriCoder comes with its own built-in program generator.
You just describe the text and sequence of prompts plus
the input data characteristics. The TriCoder then generates
a working program. A novice programmer can master TriCoder
programming in 10 minutes. Up to 4 programs, (3 user
written) can reside within. It's powerful too! Programming
features available include:
- Time/Date
Stamping
- Voice Prompt
Control
- Validation
Table Look Up
- Pick List
Processing
- Each Program
can have 97 steps
- Duplicate
Access Checking
- Branching
Statements
- Yes/No Logic
New Virtual
TriCoder
Advanced users can now create programs for the TriCoder
on a Windows 95, 98, NT, ME or 2000 machine using the
Virtual TriCoder. A TriCoder program can be written,
stored and tested on the computer, and then downloaded
to a serial interface TriCoder (Keyboard wedge units
can not utilize the Virtual TriCoder). The Virtual TriCoder
is included with all TriCoders and can be downloaded
from our Download Page.
Of course programs can be written right on the TriCoder
unit as usual. Using the Virtual TriCoder is helpful
for people who prefer to develop on their desktop, or
who have several very complicated programs that they
want to test and develop for later downloading to the
TriCoder. You
can even download the Virtual TriCoder to evaluate TriCoder
programming before you buy!
Buffered Terminal
Mode
Serial models (T54/LT54) have another operating mode
which makes them ideal for shop floor terminals. In
this mode, a program in the TriCoder prompts the operator
for data. The entered data is stored in the TriCoder's
RAM for periodic uploading when polled by the host.
Double Duty
The TriCoder can function as a stationary on-line reader
also, performing double duty. For example, the retailer
can use the TriCoder as a Point of Sale reader (from
wall power), or it can be used as a portable to take
a physical inventory.
