PHL1300 in an IRU1300


The PHL-1300 is one of Opticon's intelligent terminal devices. It runs a proprietary Operating System and requires a cradle for charging and data transfer.

Upgrading

The PHL-1300 runs both an Operating System and an Application. The OS provides the core functionality but does nothing that the user can see. The Application is where all of the menu's and button features are built. It is necessary to upgrade both in many cases. Appload is required to load software onto the PHL-1300.

Operating System

  • Download the latest OS from the Downloads section above.
  • Set the dip switches on the cradle to be in auto mode. See the IRU-1300 page for these instructions.
  • Connect the IRU-1300 cradle to both power and the RS232 cable to the PC.
  • Power off the PHL-1300
  • While off press together [S] + [ENT] + [PW] to enter "OS LOADER" mode.

Application Development

The PHL1300 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System and an Application. The Operating System Exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware, and the Application determines how the device behaves. The Operating System is developed and maintained solely by Opticon, however anyone can make an application for the PHL1300 using using Opticon's C-Library Kit and the "Software Development Tools MCCM77 C Compiler package" made by Microtec™ Research. This compiler can be purchased directly from Opticon or from a third party.
