We've been manufacturing portable data collectors for a long time.
When it came time to design a new family of products, Videx engineers started with a blank piece of paper and a list of customer requests. As a • Contact bar code reader result, they gave special attention to three important design elements: • Touch Memory a durable case, a simple-to-use yet long-lasting battery system, and common software for all four products.
• Display• 128K RAM We Wrote the Book on Durability
Let's face it—any portable data collector is bound to hit the floor now and again. In fact, our customers have dropped Videx readers • IR communications down elevator shafts and run over them with trucks. Not intentionally, of course, but it can happen in the normal course of a busy workday.
DuraTrax, LaserLite, LaserLite Pro, and LaserLite Mx are built to take it.
With cases crafted of durable aluminum, these data collectors are ready • Laser bar code reader for indoor or outdoor use: the office, field, warehouse, and Non-Stop Battery Power
What can be more frustrating than getting part way through the • IR communications workday and having to stop because your scanner's batteries need to be recharged? This won't happen with the LaserLite series. All fourreaders use standard AA alkaline batteries, which means you have weeks of continuous use—there is no down time waiting for the reader to recharge, no NiCad memory effect, no overcharging. The products are • Laser bar code reader designed to consume power at a very low rate, giving you up to 100,000 • Touch Memory scans from one set of batteries. You can check the voltage level on the reader's display at any time, and a back-up battery protects your data while changing batteries.
• Alphanumeric keypad• 256K RAM ‘Simple Software' is Not an Oxymoron
• IR communications At least not with these products. You don't have to be a programmer to put DuraTrax, LaserLite, LaserLite Pro, and LaserLite Mx to work.
We've created Application Builder software to be a simple and intuitiveprogram so that just about anyone can get the readers ready to use and can transfer the collected data back to the PC. And all four readers use • Laser bar code reader this same simple software, so that you can choose • Touch Memory the best reader for each location.
A Windows 95, 98, & NT version is available for all four data collectors, and a Macintosh version is available for DuraTrax, LaserLite, and • Alphanumeric keypad LaserLite Pro.
• 256K RAM• External memory cards We haven't forgotten the programmers. For more complex applications, we've included a full set of developer's tools in the Application Builder • Data editing capability kit: BASIC programming tools for enhancing the functions of the readers, and communications tools for creating a link between your applicationsoftware and the Videx readers.
