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

-

: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 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 [[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. There are functions and libraries available for each of these options in the [[C-Library Kit]].
