Version Differences for H13 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

===About===

-

The H13 is one of Opticon's newest wireless 1D terminal scanners. It runs a low-level firmware, typically called the "OS", and on top of that runs an application, which essentially drives the behavior of the device and exposes a simple user interface on the H13's LCD screen. The application can be customized in order to change the behavior of the H13, using Opticon's [[C-Library Kit]] and the [[GCC WinArm]]. This allows end-users to create custom applications modeled around their barcode-driven processes, making the H13 a simple and flexible solution for many business needs.

The H13 is a wireless 1D terminal scanner. The H13 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System(OS) and an Application. The Operating System exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware. The Application determines how the device behaves and the interface displayed on the H13's LCD screen. The application can be customized in order to change the behavior of the H13, using Opticon's [[C-Library Kit]] and the [[GCC WinArm]]. This allows end-users to create custom applications modeled around their barcode-driven processes, making the H13 a simple and flexible solution for many business needs.

The H13 is used in combination with a cradle (typically [[CRDH13]]) in order to charge the H13's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]). Other types of cradles exist, including a dialup modem cradle and a GSM cradle, which H13 applications can utilize with Opticon's [[TCP/IP Library]].
