Chapter 1 • Introduction
Description
Based on a 486 processor, the Formula 7400 is a powerful, compact and lightweight
portable terminal, with open system architecture, integrated full RS232 and IrDA ports,
and IP53 protection. This portable terminal is based on PC technology and offers optional
WIRELESS communication, with the integrated µISA card that supports the 2.4 GHz
SSFH Radio. Twin Client software for IBM5250, 3270 and VT100/220 is also available.
Due to the DOS Operating System, the Formula 7400 can be easily integrated into the
most popular information systems. Also, by using the Development System 7400 based
on standard C compilers integrated with special Datalogic libraries, it can be easily
programmed by developers who are already familiar with the PC environment.
Two keyboard layouts are available for the Formula 7400: one has 37 keys with full
alphanumeric support and the other has 24 keys which addresses applications requiring
mainly numeric data entry. The bar code scanner is completely integrated and is powered
by the Datalogic decoding library. The Formula 7400 meets important requirements such
as high autonomy, resistance to falls and knocks and protection when working in harsh
environmental conditions. The Formula 7400 is also provided with 2.4 GHz FHSS Radio
technology for mid-range mobility. For more information about the 7400 terminal, see
