Monitoring The Network Connection

3.10 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates the relative strength of the communication link.

To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:

• Press <BLUE> <0> to display the System Menu .

• Choose System Tray from the menu.

• Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal icon in the taskbar.

• Press <ENTER> to display the radio quality dialogue box.

If you have a touchscreen:

• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the radio quality dialogue box.

Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by logging in again.

3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station

The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an

Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7535 is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 before preforming data uploads.

General Maintenance

3.12 General Maintenance

3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen

The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating.

The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:

• mustard,

• sodium hydroxide,

• concentrated caustic solutions,

• benzyl alcohol, and

• concentrated miner acids.

If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (PN 1010029). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.

Note: If the environment is excessively harsh, consider using a tempered glass version of the 7535.

3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535

Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean.

• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The

7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows

(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.

Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your

7535 is equipped with a touchscreen).

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 44.

A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7535 equipped with a touchscreen has a

stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7535.

The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.

Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with your 7535.

To open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:

• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard

If your 7535 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen), choosing icons and navigating dialogue boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on requires keyboard input. If your unit has already been fully configured and your application is launched at startup, you’ll have little need for keyboard navigation.

Refer to “Working With Files, Folders And Programs” on page 62 for additional details keyboard navigation.

Pressing <ENTER> or the <SCAN> button wakes the system from suspend state. When the 7535 is in suspend state, the network connection is broken.

To resume, you must re-establish the network connection.

5.3.4 Calibrating The Touchscreen

Note: Touchscreen calibration may not be enabled on your unit. If your screen appears to require recalibration, contact your supervisor.

Touchscreens rarely require recalibration. However, if your touchscreen has never been calibrated or if you find that the stylus pointer is not accurate when you tap on an item, follow the directions below.

• In the Control Panel , select the Stylus icon to display the Stylus Properties window.

Scanner Options

5.5.1 Scanner Options

Verify

The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve the reliability of the decoded bar code.

Security

This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes

(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of

30 is generally a good compromise setting.

Short Code

When enabled (

√

), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.

Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the

7535 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.

Double Click Options

Click Time

Note: This parameter only affects 7535s using scanners with aiming dot capability.

This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.

If the time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000 . A value of zero disables this feature.

A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click

Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the

“Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click

Data” value rather than initiating a scan.

Scanner Options

Click Data

For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the application installed in your 7535 following a double-click.

Enter the ASCII value of the character desired from 0 to 255 . You can also press the

<LEFT> or <RIGHT> arrow keys to scroll through a set of ASCII characters not available from the keyboard.

Display Options

Indicator

When this parameter is enabled (

√

), the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner is activated.

Result

When this parameter is enabled (

√

), the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.

Dot Time

The value selected for “Dot Time” determines how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. The allowable values are:

0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.

Result Time

The value assigned to the “Result Time” parameter determines how long the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter.

Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, perform an unsuccessful scan.

AIAG Strip

If this parameter is enabled (

√

), the AIAG data identifier is removed from each decoded Code 39 label. The data identifier occurs in the first position next to the

Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identifier defines the general category or specific use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.

Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.

This is because the 7535 hand-held performs the strip function before it processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the prefix is stripped, the data is not identified as AIAG.

Err Accept

If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (

√

), all label data without an AIAG identifier character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (

If you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed.

Field Size

The field size is the length of the field after the first character is stripped and the prefix and suffix characters are added. If the field size is non-zero, only bar codes of that length are passed through.

Preﬁx Char

This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code.

Enter the ASCII decimal equivalent of this character. Enter a value of 0 (zero) if no prefix is to be added.

Sufﬁx Char

This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code.

Enter the ASCII decimal equivalent of this character. Enter a value of 0 (zero) if no suffix is to be added.

Strip Leading

This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the beginning of the bar code before the prefix character is added.

Notes: 1.

The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character.

For example, if <BKSP> is pressed, the usual action for that key is performed. If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI emulation application, the 7535 transmits the escape sequence associated with the function immediately after the bar code data.

2. For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the

“Strip Leading”.

Strip Trailing

The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the end of the bar code before the suffix character is added.

The Tekterm Application

6.1 The Tekterm Application

Tekterm is a powerful emulation application ideally suited for real time data transaction applications associated with mainframes and servers. The 7535 includes unique features that support Tekterm – a Psion Teklogix application that has the ability to maintain multiple simultaneous sessions with a variety of host computers.

6.2 Additional Keyboard Functions

In addition to the standard keyboard functions (see “The Keyboard” on page 37),

Tekterm supports additional keys – function keys, softkeys and macro keys – that are unique to this application.

6.2.1 Function Keys And Softkey Function Keys

6.2.1.1 Function Keys

The 7535 is equipped with a series of function key. The function of each of these keys is defined in the application software. Depending on the type of keyboard your

7535 has – 58-key or 36-key – the number and location of the function keys on the keyboard varies slightly.

58-Key Keyboard Function Keys

The 58-key keyboard is equipped with thirty function keys. Function keys <F1> to

<F6> are located across the top of the keyboard and are directly accessible – a key combination is not required. Function keys <F7> to <F30> are colour coded in blue print above the alpha keys and are accessed using a key combination – <BLUE> followed by the appropriate alpha key.

To access function keys <F7> to <F30>:

• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the alpha key to which the function key you want to use is mapped. For example:

To access function key <F7>, press <BLUE> <C>.

TESS Emulation

6.5 TESS Emulation

TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) is the normal operating mode of Psion Teklogix computers. Teklogix protocol emulation software resident on network controllers or a Psion Teklogix Software Development Kit (SDK) and installed in the host converts host screens to TESS commands. The 9150 Access Point is also equipped with protocol emulation software.

Note: If the message “RESET: Press Enter” flashes at the bottom of the TESS screen when you turn on the 7535, press the <ENTER> key once.

6.5.1 Conﬁguration

Note: Each TESS session must have a unique name assigned to it. The title you assign will be displayed in the Display Menu.

The process of renaming an existing TESS session and adding a new session is described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 160.

A unique number must be assigned in the “Terminal #” parameter for each TESS session. Refer to “Terminal #” in the section titled “TESS Settings” on page 176 for details.

6.5.2 Working With Multiple Sessions

To display another session in TESS:

• Go to the startup ‘Display Menu’. If you are in a TESS session, press

<CTRL><ALT><0> to go to the ‘Display Menu’.

• Type the letter corresponding to the application you want to launch.

For example, suppose the sessions are listed in the “Display Menu” as

‘ D TESS1 ’ and ‘ E TESS2 ’. To launch the session named TESS2 , type the letter e.

6.5.3 The Field Types

Fixed Field – displays information that cannot be changed from the keyboard.

Entry Field – allows the operator to enter data. This type of field is usually shown as: “........”

• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character directly to the left of the cursor and then moves the cursor one position to the left. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened.

• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned and shifts the remaining characters to the right by one position. When the last character in the field is deleted, the field displays the value that it contained before it was modified, and the field is opened.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed when the field is empty, the 7535 emits a keyboard error beep.

• The <BKSP> key does not delete data pre-filled by the host application.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed in a field that has not been modified, the

7535 emits a keyboard error beep.

• If data is entered into a field and is then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

• In a left justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned unless it is one position to the right of the last character in the string; in this case, the <BKSP> key erases the character to the left of the cursor.

• In a right justified field, the <BKSP> key erases the character on which the cursor is positioned. The remaining characters are then shifted to the left of the cursor, and the cursor is shifted to the right by one position.

• If the <BKSP> key is pressed while the cursor is in the right-most character position of the field, the cursor does not shift to the left when that character is erased; it remains in the right most position in the field.

• When the last character in a field is erased, the field remains empty – that is, any pre-filled data is not displayed. Pressing the <BKSP> key in the empty field results in a keyboard error beep.

• The <BKSP> key can delete data pre-filled by the host application.

• If data is entered in a field and is then deleted before the field is completed, the field remains unmodified when the cursor leaves the field or when the screen is transmitted.

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Lock Messages

6.5.7 Lock Messages

When information is transmitted to the host computer, the keyboard locks to prevent further data entry until the 7535 receives a reply. A locked state is indicated by either “LOCK-B” (base) or “LOCK-H” (host) in the lower left corner of the display.

When the reply is received by the 7535, the lock message disappears and the keyboard can be used again.

6.5.8 Control Commands

A group of <CTRL> key commands can be used within TESS to dictate how the

7535 will operate under a variety of conditions.

• <CTRL> – Reprints the last print page sent from the host. This key combination will not print anything if a print page from the host was not previously received at the 7535 hand-held.

• <CTRL> <S> – Displays the 7535 status continuously. Below is a sample status line as it might appear at the bottom of your screen:

Lock-B/Lock-H fld enh “application name”

• <CTRL> <W> – Displays the 7535 status when the unit is in “Lock B” or

“Lock H” mode. The status line would be similar to the sample above.

• <CTRL><T> – Displays the 7535 status with the terminal number instead of the name.

Lock-B/Lock-H rep “terminal nn”

• <CTRL> <H> – Displays a menu of available hosts.

6.5.9 Resetting A TESS Session

Resetting a TESS session requires that <CTRL> C be pressed three times within a two second period to generate the “RESET – User request” message.

• Press and hold down the <CTRL> key, and press the <C> key three times

within a two second period.

• Press <ENTER>.

This procedure restarts the TESS session without affecting the rest of the 7535.

The Local Menu

6.5.10 The Local Menu

The host can store local procedures in the 7535 for use when the unit is off-line.

A menu of these procedures appears whenever <CTRL> <L> is pressed

(see Figure 6.3).

• Press the function key corresponding to the procedure you want to perform.

Local procedures will not function when the “Lcl Process” and “Queuing” parameters are disabled (see “Lcl Process – Save on Reset” on page 183 and “Queuing” on page 183).

Although using local procedures eliminates the advantages of an on-line 7535, it allows work to continue when the host is unavailable. The “LOCK-B/H” messages are replaced with “NEXT-B/H” in this mode.

Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 127

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Queuing Mode

6.5.12 Queuing Mode

In some applications, queuing mode can decrease the computer lock time. In queuing mode, the host computer may send several pages to a 7535 without waiting for a response. These pages are stored in a queue within the 7535 hand-held. The operator completes the entries on the first page and then, presses a function key.

The 7535 simultaneously transmits to the host and displays the next page in the queue. The computer does not lock, allowing the operator to enter data on the next page immediately. This continues as long as there are pages in the queue.

Queuing mode is used for repetitive tasks, and the queued screens look identical.

The 7535 displays a “Next” message indicating that a new page is on the display.

“Next” messages also contain information about radio communications: “NEXT-B” indicates that the 7535 has data to transmit to the base station. “NEXT-H” indicates that the base station has acknowledged a transmission. Unlike lock messages, “Next” messages do not lock the keyboard. Keying is allowed while

“Next” messages are displayed.

While queuing mode may improve apparent response time, it can present difficulties to hosts that are operating in real time. It should only be used after careful consideration of the host environment. The 7535 must be configured for queuing mode (see the “Queuing” parameter on page 183). Additional information on queuing can be found in the TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) Manual.

6.6 ANSI Emulation

The Psion Teklogix 7535 in ANSI mode operates like most other ANSI terminals.

This means software that supports ANSI terminals requires little or no changes.

6.6.1 Conﬁguration

To configure the 7535 for ANSI mode, the “Name” and “Type” of session – in this case, ANSI – must be specified in the Applications menu. This menu is described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 160.

Next, a unique number must be assigned using the “Terminal #” parameter. This number should be unique across the entire system – that is, each 7535 and each application session in each 7535 across your system must have a unique number assigned. This parameter is described in the section titled “ANSI Settings” on page 161.

Once the 7535 is configured, an ANSI operation can be selected from the startup

“Display Menu”.

128 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Sending Data To The Host

6.6.2 Sending Data To The Host

7535 hand-helds running ANSI sessions transmit characters to the host as soon as they are typed. The 7535 provides parameters that determine when the computer transmits characters to the host.

The 7535 can be configured to transmit after a number of characters are typed in (the “Xmit Count” parameter) or after some time has elapsed (the “Xmit Wait” parameter), or both. This reduces overhead on the radio link and improves response time. See page 167 for more information about these parameters.

You can also determine whether the 7535 transmits immediately after the

<ENTER> key, an arrow key, or a function key is pressed.

The 7535 computer also responds immediately to the device attribute requests

“CSIc”, “CSI0c” and “ESCZ”.

Note: For a more detailed description of the parameter settings for ANSI, refer to “ANSI Settings” on page 161.

When 802.IQ v1 is set to “Y”, the attached sub-menu of parameters is enabled.

Auto Radio Addr

If this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), a request is sent to the network controller to assign a radio address to the hand-held computer radio.

If “Auto Radio Addr” is set to “N”, the value entered in the “Radio Address” parameter is used. (Refer to "Radio Address" in this section for details about manually assigned radio addresses.)

Important: Ensure that all 7535s grouped in the system use the same addressing process – that is, if you choose to use automatic radio addressing, use this addressing process for all units operating in the same system. If you choose to assign radio addresses manually using the “Radio Address” parameter, use this process for all units in the same system.

Radio Address

The value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the

7535 over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned for each 7535 hand-held computer.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)

Round trip time is the elapsed time between a hand-held computer transmission and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7535 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the computer will resend the transmission.

Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 143

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Radio Parameters

Because 7535s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The computer uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7535 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements.

Protocol Type

“Protocol Type” is used to identify the Ethernet packet frame type sent by the 7535.

The default value – 2457 – assigned to this parameter identifies the Teklogix 802.IQ protocol Ethernet packet frame types.

The “Protocol Type ID” should only be altered if the default value is already being used to specify another application Ethernet frame type.

Important: If you change the value assigned to “Protocol Type ID”, ensure that all 7535s and 9150s in your system use the same number.

This parameter allows you to split the display view so that more than one application screen can be displayed at the same time. The split screen parameters,

“Type” and “View IDs”, are used to tailor the screen view for your needs.

Type And View IDs

The “Type” parameter determines how a screen will be split. The 7535 supports up to four application screens. The “View IDs” parameter determines which application screens will be displayed in each pane of the split screen. “Moving

Between Split Screens” on page 156 describes how to move the cursor from one split screen to the next.

6.16.1.1 Splitting And Displaying Screens

Before splitting the screen, you need to determine which applications should appear in each pane of the split screen. The available applications are listed in the main

“Display Menu”. Each application listed in the “Display Menu” is preceded by a letter – for example, Parameters is preceded by an A . This letter is used in the

“View IDs” string entry field to fix each pane of a split screen to a corresponding application.

If you need to display the startup “Display Menu”:

• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0>.

To split a screen:

• With the cursor on the “Type” parameter, use the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the types of split screens available.

The vertical and horizontal lines displayed at the “Type” parameter indicate how the screen will be split – for example, in the sample screen on page 157, the vertical lines indicate the screen will be vertically split into two segments. The screen can also be split horizontally 3 ways or 4 ways.

Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 155

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Moving Between Split Screens

Once you’ve indicated how you want to split the screen in the “Type” parameter:

• Use the <DOWN> arrow key to move the cursor to the “View IDs” parameter.

• For each application you want to display, type the letter corresponding to the application.

For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with the Parameters menu in the left pane of the screen and a TESS session in the right pane. In the “Display Menu”, the letter A represents “ Parameters ” and B represents “ TESS ”. The “Type” and

“View ID” values would be represented as follows:

04 Split screen

Type

View IDs

2 Way |||

• Press <ENTER>.

To display the split screen on the 7535:

• Press <CTRL> <DOWN> arrow.

6.16.1.2 Moving Between Split Screens

To move the cursor from one pane in a split screen to the next:

• Press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or <LEFT>. The cursor moves in order from the left-most pane to the right and from the top-most pane to the bottom.

6.16.1.3 Toggling Between Full & Split Screens

To toggle between a split and full screen format:

• Press <CTRL> <DOWN> arrow.

The application displayed when toggling from a split to a full screen format is determined by the cursor location in the split screen. For example, if the cursor is in the pane of a split screen in which the TESS application is displayed and

<CTRL> <DOWN> is pressed to display a full screen, the TESS application will be displayed in the full screen.

Using The Asterisk As A Wild Card

6.16.1.4 Using The Asterisk As A Wild Card

When a screen is split, the application displayed in each pane is fixed in the “View

IDs” parameter. Using an asterisk * in the “View IDs” parameter indicates that a particular pane in the split screen is not fixed to any particular application and can be changed as required.

For example, suppose you want to split the screen into two vertical segments with the left pane containing the “Parameters” menu and the right pane containing no fixed application. The “Type” and “View IDs” parameters would be completed as follows:

04 Split screen

View IDs

2 Way |||

To change the application displayed in the pane with no fixed application:

• If the cursor is not currently in the pane, press <CTRL> <RIGHT> or

<LEFT> arrow to move the cursor into the appropriate screen.

• Press <CTRL> <ALT><0> to display the startup “Display Menu”.

• Type the letter corresponding to the new application you want to display.

6.16.2 Custom Characters (Unicode™)

The “Custom Characters” parameter allows you to create Unicode™ characters not available directly from the keyboard, including accented characters. Unicode is a trademark of The Unicode Consortium. You can create up to 20 Unicode™ characters that will be stored in a pop-up menu accessible from any application.

6.16.2.1

Creating A Unicode™ Character

Note: You can create a Unicode™ character by pressing and holding down the <ALT> while typing the decimal value that represents the Unicode™ character you want to use. However, you will need to press <ALT> and retype the decimal value each time you want to use the special character.

The advantage to creating special characters using the “Custom Chars” parameters is that the characters you create in the customer characters table are saved in a pop-up window that is accessible from any application.

• In the Parameters menu, highlight “View Manager” and press <F1>.

Xmit Count

This parameter determines how many characters from the keyboard or scanner are buffered by the 7535 before being transmitted to the host. If 0 (zero) is selected, the hand-held transmits only according to the “Xmit Wait” parameter. If the ANSI block mode features are used, this parameter should be set to 99.

Note: If the 7535 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Count” parameter setting.

Xmit Wait

This parameter determines the length of time the 7535 collects keystrokes before transmitting them to the host. This value is specified in increments of one 10th of a second (i.e., a value of 10 represents 1 second). If 0 (zero) is selected, the computer transmits only according to the “Xmit Count” parameter.

Note: If the 7535 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Wait” parameter setting.

Dev Attr

This string entry parameter specifies a device attribute string. This string can be up to 16 characters long. The computer sends this string to the host when it receives a

DA or DECID control. The example shown in the “Xmit Modes” screen sample on page 166 is the device attribute sent to a VAX, identifying the Psion Teklogix handheld computer as a VT220 terminal. This parameter may or may not be set, depending on the requirements of the host computer.

Auto-Answer

This string can be up to 30 characters long and is sent by the 7535 as a reply to an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to automatically send the username and password when logging into the host. Refer to "Macros" beginning on page 145 for additional details about macros.

Note: The 7535’s port must be set to “printer” (see“Ports– Tether And Console” on page 191).

Xmit Enter

The <ENTER> key normally enters data into a field and moves the cursor to the next field. However, some applications require that the <ENTER> key start a transmission from the 7535. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes the

<ENTER> key to start a transmission.

Insert

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), it behaves in “replace” mode – a character entered at the keyboard or received from the host replaces the character at the cursor position. The cursor then advances one character position.

When enabled (set to “Y”), the character entered at the keyboard or received from the host is inserted at the cursor position after shifting the characters at and following the cursor forward one position. The cursor is advanced one position. The extent of the characters affected by the shift depends on the setting of the “Edit Extent” parameter (see page 173).

Newline

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move down one line in the same column. In addition, the <ENTER> key transmits a CR. When enabled (set to “Y”), an LF character received from the host causes the cursor to move to the first column of the next line. The <ENTER> key transmits both a CR and an LF.

Disable kbd

When this parameter is set to “N”, the keyboard and scanner are enabled.

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport

The Scan-See display is mapped to a specific area on the 7535 screen – called the viewport – and is continuously updated to reflect that portion of the screen. The

Scan-See viewport is defined as follows:

Anchor Line/Anchor Column

A location on the Scan-See display – the anchor – is chosen as a reference point.

Line Offset/Column Offset

A predefined displacement – the offset – is added to the location of the 7535 cursor to create a point – the pivot . This pivot is mapped to the anchor , and whatever is displayed in its vicinity is also displayed on the Scan-See.

For example:

• the anchor is chosen as (9,0) whereas “9” is the column and “0” is the line

(on the Scan-See display)

• the offset is chosen as (4,2)

• the cursor on the 7535 is currently located at (7,5)

• the pivot would thus be located at (7+4, 5+2) or (11,7)

• and so the area displayed on the Scan-See will be:

(11–9,7–0) to (11–9+9,7–0+1) or (2,7) to (11,8).

These computations assume that “Wraparound” (described on page 198) is disabled

(set to “N”) and that “Follow Cursor” (described on page 198) is enabled (set to “Y”).

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport

Follow Cursor

When the “Follow Cursor” parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the cursor is always assumed to be located at the origin. Using the previous example:

• the area displayed will be (4–9,2–0) to (4–9+9, 2–0+1), or, after clipping values that are negative or higher than 80: (0,2) to (4,3).

Wraparound

When “Wraparound” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as a one-line by 20 column display, rather than 2 lines by 10 columns.

Panning

If “Panning” is disabled (set to “N”), the Scan-See viewport does not move when the cursor moves one position to the right, and the pivot is still inside the Scan-See display. However, the Scan-See display is updated to reflect the changes within that viewport. If the pivot goes outside the viewport, or if the 7535 display changes without the cursor being moved, the viewport is re-synchronized to coincide the pivot with the anchor.

Line Scrolling

When “Line Scrolling” is enabled (set to “Y”), the Scan-See display is treated as two separate one line by 10 column displays. The top line always displays the previous value of the bottom line. In an application where the cursor skips from one entry field to another, the field that the cursor just entered is displayed on the top line, and the next field is displayed at the bottom.

Note: When this feature is enabled (set to “Y”), the “Panning” option should be disabled to prevent updates to both lines after every keystroke

Brightness

The “Brightness” parameter controls the backlight brightness of the display. It only has an effect on Model 7000 Scan-Sees – scanners equipped with LED (light emitting diode) displays.

Chapter 6: Tekterm Application

Scan-See Sub-Menu – Mapping The Viewport

Arrows

The “Arrows” parameter assigns one of three possible functions to the two arrow keys on the Scan-See keyboard:

Value Function

“Bright” Arrow keys control Scan-See display brightness

“Horiz” Arrow keys control “Column Offset”

“Vert” Arrow keys control “Line Offset”

Table 6.6 “Arrow” Parameter Options

Note: For “Horiz” and “Vert,” changing the offset will take effect only after the

7535 display has been updated.

Version

Scan-See units with serial numbers that read 1594120224 or higher contain firmware that implements a different communication protocol with the 7535 than older units. The “Version” numbers represent the following unit versions:

Value

Scan-See Version

• First LED version – up to serial number 1594080275; these are encased in grey plastic.

• Model 7000 LED units – versions after the serial number above; these are also encased in grey plastic.

• Metrologic 7000M LCD units; these are encased in grey plastic.

• Psion Teklogix 7000M LCD units; these are encased in black plastic.

Table 6.7 Scan-See Versions

Note: To interface the 7535 to the Scan-See units with older firmware

(serial number lower than 1594120224), set “Parity = space”; all other parameters are identical to the newer firmware.

Scan-See Keyboard Mapping

XON/XOFF

Important: IF YOU ARE USING TRANSCEIVERS WITH YOUR

SCAN-SEE, this parameter must be set to “Y”.

When this parameter is set to “Y”, the XON and XOFF characters are not passed to the TESS or ANSI tasks. A received XOFF character stops the serial port from transmitting. A received XON character starts the serial port transmissions again.

6.18.3.2 Scan-See Keyboard Mapping

• Digits (0-9) are passed verbatim

• The CLR key forces a sign-on message and display refresh. This only occurs when CLR is pressed and the CLR key on the display is pressed, then released.

• The three F-keys are mapped to F1, F2 and F3, respectively.

• The ENT key is mapped to the carriage-return (‘\r’) character.

• The two arrow keys are handled locally, and control the brightness, and the line and column offsets, as described on page 198.

• Bar-code data is stripped off any identifying headers (symbology, etc.) and passed verbatim.

The Scan-See is capable of displaying only a subset of the default PC-8 ASCII character set. Any characters that cannot be displayed are currently translated to ‘.’.

802.IQ v2

More Parameters

Important: The 802.IQ radio items listed in this menu are only available to

Psion Teklogix personnel.

Auto Radio Addr

If this parameter is set to “Y”, the 7535 requests an automatically assigned radio address.

Note: If ‘Auto Radio Addr’ is enabled (set to “Y”), any value assigned to the

‘Radio Address’ parameter is ignored.

Radio Address

Important: “Radio Address” only takes effect when “Cellular” is enabled (set to “Y”).

The value entered in the “Radio address” parameter is used to identify the 7535 hand-held over the radio link. A unique value from 1 to 3840 must be assigned for each 7535.

Initial RTT (Round Trip Time)

Round trip time is the elapsed time between a 7535 hand-held computer transmis-

sion and an access point acknowledgement. Each 7535 continuously adjusts the acceptable round trip time, calculating the average elapsed time over a number of transmissions. If an acknowledgement takes longer to receive than the average round trip time calculated, the 7535 will resend the transmission.

Because 7535s cannot calculate an average round trip time without a number of transmissions, a starting point or “Initial Round Trip Time” is required. The 7535 uses the time assigned to the “Initial RTT” parameter as a starting value for round trip calculations. Once the 7535 begins transmitting and receiving data, this value will be adjusted to reflect the actual average round trip time between transmissions and acknowledgements.

Chargers

• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

• Do not place batteries in the charger if they are cold from extended exposure to a freezer or outside temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least two hours.

• Do not use the charger if, after an overnight charge, any of the batteries feel warmer than the charger housing. The charger should be inspected by qualified service personnel.

• Do not use the charger if any of the batteries or the charger get more than lukewarm. The equipment should be inspected by qualified personnel.

7.4 Chargers

Note: The full capacity of the battery may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles have been performed.

It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7535’s intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Important: To preserve battery integrity, the charger will proceed with a charge only when the battery temperature falls between 0˚ C and

39˚ C (32˚ F to 102˚ F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status LED flashes yellow and the charge is suspended.

7.5 Gang Charger

The gang charger is designed to charge up to six 7535 Lithium-Ion batteries at one time. Your charger is shipped with the appropriate IEC mains power cord. If the supplied power cord is incorrect for your country, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices).

7.5.1 Installation

The gang charger can be wall mounted using the wall mount kit – PN TBD – or it can be operated on a flat surface. Install the charger in an area that is free from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The ambient temperature must be in the range

0˚ C to 39˚ C (32˚ F to 102˚ F). The charger will not charge batteries outside of this temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the charger be operated at room temperature – a temperature range between

18˚ C to 25˚ C (64˚ F to 77˚ F).

210 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

Operator Controls

The charger can consume up to 2A @ 120VAC or 1A @ 240VAC. Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying the charger is adequate for this loading (especially if several chargers are being powered from the same circuit).

After unpacking the unit:

• Visually check the charger for damage.

• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.

A green indicator in the lower-right lights to indicate power is present. All charge indicators flash momentarily at powerup to indicate that the charger is ready for operation.

If you choose to wall mount the charger, follow the instructions packaged with the mounting bracket kit. Be sure to locate the charger in a area where there is no risk of injury to persons walking in the vicinity.

7.5.2 Operator Controls

The gang charger does not have operator controls or a power switch.

7.5.3 Charge Indicators

Each battery charge slot is equipped with a tri-coloured LED to indicate the charge status of the battery. When 7535 batteries are inserted in the charger, the colour and behaviour of the LEDs associated with the charge wells in use indicate the status of the charge.

Charging Batteries

7.5.4 Charging Batteries

• Install the battery with the battery contacts facing the charger. Slide the battery between the guide rails until it lightly latches in place.

The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted lights up immediately.

A solid yellow LED indicates that the battery is being charged. If the battery temperature is outside 0˚ C to 39˚ C (32˚ F to 102˚ F), the LED flashes yellow until the temperature is acceptable. A fully discharged battery will normally take between 1.5 and 4 hours to charge. When the battery charge reaches 75%, the indicator flashes green. At full capacity, it turns solid green.

When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery cannot be overcharged if left in the charger slot. The 75% charge indicator is handy if you need a quick recharge – it often occurs after less than an hour.

7.5.5 Troubleshooting

7.5.5.1

Excessive Charge Duration

The charger is equipped with a recalibration function – a function that fully discharges and then fully recharges the battery. This process is necessary to recalibrate the battery capacity gauge internal to the battery. The charger attempts recalibration when:

• the battery capacity is at less than 30%, and

• the battery has undergone more than 40 partial charge cycles since the last full discharge.

A complete battery discharge takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to complete. When in discharge mode, the LED indicator flashes yellow. The recalibration function extends the charge time by up to 2 hours.

7.5.5.2

Indicator Flashing Red

If the indicator flashes red:

• Remove all batteries and disconnect the mains power cable.

• Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.

If any of the charge slot LEDs continue to flash red, the charger is defective and requires service. If all indicators are flashing red, there is a power supply problem and the charger requires service.

Troubleshooting

7.7.4 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting issues for the combo dock are identical to those of the quad dock.

Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 219 for helpful tips.

7.8 Quad Dock

The Quad Dock permits each of four docked 7535 hand-helds to communicate with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network at greater than 2Mbps. It also provides sufficient power to operate and fast charge the batteries the 7535s.

7.8.1 Installation

The quad dock should be located away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants.

The ambient temperature must fall between 0˚ C to 39 ˚C (32˚ F to 102˚ F). The

7535 internal charger will not charge batteries outside of this temperature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the quad dock be operated at room temperature – from 18˚ C to 25˚ C (64˚ F to 77˚ F).

The quad dock can consume up to 3A @ 120VAC or 1.5A @ 240VAC. Ensure that the mains circuit supplying the unit is adequate, especially if several docks are being powered from the same circuit.

After unpacking the unit:

• Visually inspect the unit for any damage.

• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.

A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate that power is present.

• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.

A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is established.

A user application must be loaded onto each 7535 that utilizes the quad dock for communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the quad dock is ready for use.

Indicators And Controls

7.8.2 Indicators And Controls

The quad dock has no user controls. It is equipped with a power indicator LED and

RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid network link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector.

7.8.3 Using The Quad Dock

• Gently slide the 7535 into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.

The 7535 detects that it is in a quad dock and displays the appropriate icon in the taskbar – . The battery charge LED on the 7535 lights up to show it has external power and may start charging the battery.

Interaction with the 7535 while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software used to communicate with the host network.

7.8.4 Network Access

The quad dock includes a four port 10/100 Ethernet hub. Each of the four downstream ports are connected to dedicated USB-to-Ethernet converters. These

USB converters appear as USB slaves to the 7535 USB host controller. The 7535 automatically detects insertion into a quad dock and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.

7.8.4.1

Network Addressing

Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no correlation between these addresses and a specific 7535 hand-held. The host application uses a standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a 7535 on the network.

If a link is established between a 7535 and a host, the application on the host and on the 7535 must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the 7535 is removed from the dock and the link is interrupted.

Bluetooth Peripherals

7.10 Bluetooth Peripherals

If the 7535 is equipped with a Bluetooth radio, it is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on. The range of the Bluetooth radio in the 7535 is limited to approximately

2 meters.

Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.

If your system is equipped with one of these peripherals, you only need to associate the peripheral with a specific 7535 host in order to be up and running.

• GSM/GPRS tri-band universal handset (PN TBD)

• Bluetooth printer (PN TBD)

Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the 7535 includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the 7535 at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).

Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. See

TBD for more details about Bluetooth device configuration. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the 7535 host.

7.11 The 7535 Picker Cradle

The 7535 picker cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal,, the cradle holds the 7535 securely even when operated in high vibration environments (such as vehicles not equipped with suspensions).

The7535 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7535 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

Mounting Recommendations

7.11.1 Mounting Recommendations

Warning: Before mounting a picker cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.

Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,

contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support

Services And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protection, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.

Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints are recommended. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.

The most effective way to mount the picker cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle. All Psion Teklogix mounting hardware is compatible with this method.

Under special circumstances, it may be necessary to mount bolts through the cradle into a plate. In this case, the cradle requires partial disassembly.

To accommodate the surface loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the 7535. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle for this application (PN TBD)

Wiring Guidelines

7.11.2 Wiring Guidelines

Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:

• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.

• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.

• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.

• Use plastic straps to prevent cables and connectors from loosening.

• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.

• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

• Leave enough extra cable so that the 7535 can be easily removed.

Note: Where applicable, ensure that the unit is mounted inside the roll cage.

7.11.3 Using The Picker Cradle

If your 7535 is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a picker cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.

• Slide the 7535 into the cradle, and press downwards until it locks into place.

On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the 7535 to be certain that it is secure.

• To remove the 7535, press on one of the knobs on either side of the cradle until it releases.

7.11.4 Maintaining The Picker Cradle

Two latches in the cradle hold the 7535 firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for at least 100,000 cycles, they will wear over time and will no longer lock the 7535 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact

Psion Teklogix (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Partial disassembly is required. The replacement latch components are identified in drawing # 1020030 Metalwork, part -94.

224 Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

The Powered Cradle Option

7.11.5 The Powered Cradle Option

The powered cradle option is designed to allow the 7535 to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the 7535 is also recharged by the vehicle battery.

This option accepts DC power sources over the range 12V to 90V.

The 7535 picker cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed, or it can be retrofitted later. If you are retrofitting a power cradle option, the supplied kit includes detailed installation instructions.

The 7535 charging LED (see Section 3.6.1.1 on page 46) indicates that external power is available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.

Warning: Applying a voltage above 90VDC or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to cradle power option and will void the product warranty.

7.11.5.1

Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle

A 2 meter extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your power cradle.

This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 6A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 3.5A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 6A.

The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.

You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the switch.

If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 5A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.

Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 225

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

The Port Replicator

7.11.6 The Port Replicator

The port replicator is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices (e.g., scanners) as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the picker cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option.

The functionality of the 7535 tether port is duplicated on the port replicator. When the 7535 is installed in a port replicated picker cradle, the tether port on the 7535 is disabled and the tether port on the port replicator is enabled. Although it is not necessary to remove a device connected to the 7535, keep in mind that it will not operate while in the cradle.

In addition to the tether port, the replicator is equipped with a standard 9 pin

RS232D serial interface. This interface is typically used for fixed peripherals such as printers. Your serial device likely includes a suitable cable connector for this port.

A port replicator can be retrofitted onto a cradle power option by replacing the blank bottom plate with a port replicator assembly using 4 screws. The kit includes the necessary instructions. Installing a port replicator on an unpowered cradle requires additional assembly steps. The upgrade kits vary – use PN TBD to upgrade a cradle power option, and PN TBD to upgrade an unpowered cradle.

An icon in the 7535 task bar indicates that a port replicator has been attached.
