3.1.3 SW Developer’s Toolkits Component Overview
The Software Developer’s Toolkits component is the DS for Formula™ environment for developing custom applications with the 8051 Keil Compiler.
A set of Workdemo examples source code is installed together with this component.
DS for Formula™ is a software package that provides instruments for fully exploiting Formula™ terminals by creating fully-structured and personalized applications.
DS for Formula™ can be used to:
- generate applications for new Formula™ terminal;
- re-generate applications developed for old Formula™ terminals to let them run on new Formula™ terminal.
The DS for Formula™ distributed with this product can not generate applications for old Formula™ terminals.
For compatibility and portability details see SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s
Manual Vol2. Section A.
DS for Formula™ uses a «C» standard ANSI compiler, integrated with special libraries, operating in a MS-DOS environment and developed specifically for the type of terminal processor. The libraries, developed by Datalogic Mobile S.r.l., permit direct management of the terminal functions. For example, the management of barcode reading devices is immediate and rational thanks to the interaction with functions that automatically start up the barcode acquisition procedure.
Equally transparent, by using a philosophy of events programming, is the procedure managing the keyboard, display, serial and radio-frequency communication, calendar/clock and the data memory organized into banks, either directly or through a vdisk function.
DS for Formula™ also offers a series of effective general purpose application examples, which represent an excellent starting point while simultaneously providing a practical guide for studying and working on complex or personalized programs. Refer to the SW Dev Toolkits Developer’s Manual for details.

NOTE
Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is to charge them. See below.
CAUTION
By default, the backup battery is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining. If it is not connected (through the backup battery switch) and subsequently charged together with the battery pack, all data will be lost when changing the battery pack.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.
4.1 CONNECTING THE BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery must be connected by putting the switch in the "connected" position. It will be charged together with the battery pack through the normal charging process.
It is only necessary to disconnect the backup battery if it will not be used for a long period of time (i.e. several weeks).

4.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack autonomy varies according to factors such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, etc.
The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply directly to the Formula™.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the
Formula™ single cradle.
During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is
green constant (see par. 3.7).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by inserting it into the rear slot of the Formula™ single cradle.
NOTE
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
CAUTION
If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a long time, it is necessary to perform two or three charging and discharging cycles (complete use) before it can reach its maximum charge capability.
The maximum time required to recharge a completely rundown battery pack is about 3 hours if the mobile computer is idling.
NOTE
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF).
The Batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0° to +45 °C (+32° to +113 °F).

WARNING
To install, charge and/or do any other action on the battery, follow this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk of explosion.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or heat; do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, dryer, high pressure containers, on induction cookware or similar device. Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Datalogic Mobile approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, explode or ignite.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal for power devices different from this mobile computer.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.

2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and China regulatory and others laws and regulations about environment.
NOTE
In order to guarantee an adequate operating autonomy, when replacing the battery pack the mobile computer checks the battery energy level. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, Formula™ does not turn on (when pressing the ON/OFF key).
In this case, either substitute the battery pack with a charged one (sufficiently charged) or insert Formula™ into a powered cradle or plug it into the direct power supply.
If alkaline batteries are used, the operating autonomy may vary according to operating conditions and battery manufacturer.
To achieve the best battery life, turn off the radios not in use.

GLOSSARY
Barcode
A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in binary form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.
Baud Rate
A measure for data transmission speed.
Bit
Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bluetooth®
A standard radio technology using a proprietary protocol. The onboard
Bluetooth module in the mobile computer is compatible with the 1.1 protocol.
Byte
On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in Formula™ can be used to store one ASCII character.
Decode
To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9,
UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar code scanned.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Formula™. An on-board nonvolatile Formula™ chip.
Flash Disk
Non-volatile Formula™ for storing application and configuration files.
Host
A computer that serves other mobile computers in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly.
They require external light to reflect their information to the user.
46
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD).
RAM
Random Access Formula™. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.
RF
Radio Frequency.
RTC
Real Time Clock.
Terminal
A Datalogic portable computer product.
