When FormCaching is enabled, a data file named FORM.DAT will be created in the WDT2200.
FORM.DAT stores the data as entered by the user after FormCaching is invoked. The WDT2200
will not allow the user to redefine the data fields in FormCaching once the FORM.DAT has been
created. The file FORM.DAT must be deleted in order to implement any change in the
configuration of FormCaching.
Running The Resident FormCaching Application Program
Enable the FormCaching, the WDT2200 built-in application can be ran by switching the portable
terminal to the User mode of operation and selecting "2.TER", select "2.FORMCACHING". The
FormCaching application program will follow the setting (as previously defined by the user) as it
displays prompts, requests input, and stores data in the FORM.DAT file. Pressing [CMD] then the
[Alpha] key will abort the current record inputting action. The user may use the [ ] key to browse
a previously input data record and press [CLR] to clear the record and then input new values.
Pressing [CMD] then [Alpha] at the beginning of the first input field of a record will abort the
FormCaching application and the portable terminal will go to the Ready mode. After collecting data,
the FORM.DAT file can be uploaded to a Host/PC either by invoking the Kermit server in the User
mode or remotely through the Windows-based, communication utility Communication Manager.
