LINX 7-5 Turn-Key Application User's Guide - LINX Data Terminals

Overview:
What is the Turn-Key Application?
Why was it developed?
The LINX7-5 Turn-Key application is comprised of a PC Windows Host
communication suite and a special "Host Mode" enhancement to the LINX7-5
Operating System. Also a windows-based "Configurator Wizard" has been
developed to ease the generation of the business logic and terminal to Host
communications. This wizard will guide a VAR through the creation of two
application control files (.CFG files) that will be used to define the execution of the
LINX7-5 terminal and the Host application.
The Turn-Key project was proposed and developed to eliminate the "programming
expertise" requirements that most LINX7-5 applications impose on the VARS and
end users of the terminal. With the new OS and the Host software installed on a PC,
the VAR can use the Configurator to create the files to control both the Host PC and
the LINX7-5. Once the generated files are loaded on the respective targets, the
LINX7-5 and the Host software can be started, resulting in an end-to-end Data
collection application - with no programming at either end!
If a VAR or end-user has a "logical" mindset and knows the flow of the
desired application, he (or she) can create the necessary steps, via the
wizard, to implement any T&A, "Work-In-Process" or Access control
application! The wizard will generate two .CFG files: “Lx75_TK.cfg” to
be downloaded to the terminal and “PC_TK.cfg” that will reside on the
Host.
What can the Turn-Key Application Do?
The Turn-Key application was designed to perform practically any function that is
normally executed during a T&A, WIP, or Access Control process.
