DATA CAPTURE
Although highly converged, the mobile comptuer is also a dedicated barcode reader. Reader
combinations are as follows:
CP60 / CP60G Mobile Computer: equipped with a (laser) 1D reader or 2D imager
CP60R / CP60GR Mobile Computer: equipped with a (laser) 1D reader or 2D imager, plus
an HF RFID reader
A number of symbologies are supported and data about them can be decoded and collected.
Done with data collection, the mobile computer outputs the collected data either locally or
on a host computer so data storage, advanced data analysis and more special services can
be performed.
This chapter describes how to collect data with reader modules.
Note: The mobile computer allows four forms of data capturing, either by laser scanning,
2D imaging, RFID data reading or capturing colored images via the digitial camera.
The first three types of data capturing are described in this chapter. For digital
camera usage, see Camera.
