Version Differences for OPL9728 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

'''How do I load my application onto the OPL9728?'''

-

:With Opticon's [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Appload Appload] program. You will need to enter the OS-level system menu on the device (press Up, Trigger, and Down buttons simultaneously), choose the menu option to download an application, and place the device into the cradle. Then connect the cradle to your PC, install the drivers for the cradle through Windows Driver Wizard (if the drivers are not already installed; optionally, you can find the cradle drivers on our [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Cradles/CRDx72x/USBDrivers/Windows/ FTP site]) and launch [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Appload Appload]. Choose the appropriate COM port that your cradle is connected to, and then you can drag the application binary onto the Appload window to begin the install process.

:With Opticon's [[Appload]] program. You will need to enter the OS-level system menu on the device (press Up, Trigger, and Down buttons simultaneously), choose the menu option to download an application, and place the device into the cradle. Then connect the cradle to your PC, install the drivers for the cradle through Windows Driver Wizard (if the drivers are not already installed; optionally, you can find the cradle drivers on our [http://ftp.opticonusa.com/Cradles/CRDx72x/USBDrivers/Windows/ FTP site]) and launch [[Appload]]. Choose the appropriate COM port that your cradle is connected to, and then you can drag the application binary onto the [[Appload]] window to begin the install process.

'''How do I load a new OS (firmware) onto the OPL9728?'''

'''Is there a debugger to debug my application?'''

:Unfortunately, no. Debugging is typically done through creating a log file within your application, printing information to the OPL9728's LCD screen, or some other method. Typically, applications are not of the size and complexity that this would be overly problematic.

+

'''How do I get the saved scan data off the OPL9728?'''

+

:There are a variety of methods. You can either send the data as plain ASCII text over the cradle's COM port, which would require a program or RS232 Monitor on the PC to read the incoming data and somehow save it. You can use the XModem protocol over the cradle's COM port. You can use Opticon's [NetO] file-transfer protocol to transfer the scan data as a flat file (typically .txt, .csv, or .dat; however you create and format the file in your embedded application), which requires [[http://ftp.opticonusa.com/NetO/NetO32/ NetO32]] to be run on the PC. You can also beam the data wirelessly with IrDA, or build the OPL9728's [[TCP/IP]] library into your application to transfer the data as an email, over FTP, or some other Internet protocol.
