Introduction
The WDT2200 is a programmable and flexible data collection device that can be utilized in a variety
of data acquisition applications. It can be used as a portable data entry device or as a programmable
dedicated computer that receives and runs application programs downloaded from a host computer.
The WDT2200 is equipped with a 16-bit INTEL 8088 compatible microprocessor, and has 256K of
user updateable FLASH ROM that includes a rich set of DOS functions and device drivers for
application development, including bar code decoding, display, keypad, communications, and a real
time clock/calendar.

The WDT2200 can be purchased with 2.5MB of on-board RAM. The RAM memory is powered by
the rechargeable main Li-ion battery pack and a backup Lithium button cell battery, which retains
the data stored in RAM and powers the real time calendar/clock when the main battery is drained.
The WDT2200 has a 128x64 pixel backlit graphic LCD display, an integral 27-key keypad, a built-
in laser or CCD bar code scanner module and an RS-232 serial port for data communication with a
host PC.

1.1 Programming

The WDT2200 system kernel includes three basic modules: 1. Device driver, 2 File manager and
3.DOS manager. The WDT2200 terminal can be programmed using an E-PROM resident
application program called FormCaching, a Windows-based, high-level application generator
AppGen, Microsoft C, Borland C, Turbo C, Turbo Pascal and IBM PC macro assembler. The
ROM based firmware of the terminal provides emulated MS/DOS function calls. The programmer
can design the application programs by calling those functions just like in a DOS environment.
The calling and parameter passing conventions are compatible to that of MS/DOS and the
programs are in the EXE format. Programming details are included in the WDT2200
programming manual in this binder.
