  • Page 23: Bht-6000 System Configuration

    2.1 BHT-6000 System Configuration The BHT-6000 barcode data collection system requires the following hardware as well as the BHT-6000 Bar Code Handy Terminal (which reads bar codes and accepts keypad entry) as illustrated below: • Host computer: For host computers without IrDA interface ports, the optional CU-6000 optical commu- nications unit and RS-232C interface cable are available.
  • Page 24 The CU-6000 is an IrDA-compliant communications unit which is required when your host computer is not equipped with an IrDA interface port. The CU-6000 exchanges data and programs with the BHT-6000 optically, and with the host computer via the RS-232C interface cable.
  • Page 25 Transfer Utility (option) Running on the host computer, this utility transfers files between the BHT-6000 and the host computer. It uses the BHT-protocol as a file transfer control procedure. (For the details about the BHT-protocol, refer to Chapter 3, Subsection 3.3.1.)
  • Page 26 System Programs The system programs include the following three sets of programs: Drivers Drivers is a set of programs that directly controls the BHT-6000 hardware. It may be called up by the BHT-BASIC 3.0 Interpreter or System Mode. BHT-BASIC 3.0 Interpreter The interpreter interprets and executes instructions in user programs written in BHT- BASIC 3.0.
  • Page 27 These files contain font data required for displaying Kanji characters on the LCD. The BHT-6000 has no Kanji ROM, so it stores Kanji fonts in the flash ROM. The BHT-6000 can display not only the Kanji characters in the conventional standard- size font (16 dots wide by 16 dots high) but also them in the small-size font (12 dots wide by 12 dots high) in application programs.

It adopts the response method using ACK/NAK codes.

  • Page 103: 2 ] Control Characters

    Negative Acknowledge Transparency The BHT-6000 uses the non-transparent mode which handles the control characters and codes (e.g., STX, ETX, and SOH) as starting or ending markers and does not allow them to be transmitted as normal data in the transmission texts.

    The BHT-Ir protocol is the communications procedure for the serial infrared link, which is used to transmit files between the BHT-6000 and a host (or between the BHT-6000s). It adopts the response method using ACK/NAK codes. The BHT-Ir protocol can be used also for communications through the direct-connect interface.
