MR320 Online Data Collection Terminal

Flexible operation
In addition to the variety of input devices supported, the terminal can operate online or in batch mode for future transfer of collected data to the host computer.
It's built-in transaction management allows the user to define prompting, field names, length, type, and several attributes to customize their application. This is easily configured through bar code menus or software utilities running at the host. Time and date stamping is provided by the unit's built-in real time clock.
The 2 x 16 characters backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and an audio buzzer provide feedback and prompting to the operator.
A lithium battery powered CMOS SRAM ensures data retention and a power-on test and integrated diagnostics deliver superior reliability.
Extended functionality is obtained from a TTL output signal, which is used to trigger external devices, including door strikes and status lights.
The MR320 can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a workbench or wall to facilitate access.
Connectivity
Communication with the host computer is established through a serial port. The user can select between a point-to-point connection via the RS232 connector, and a multi-point network of up to 32 units, via the RS485/422 connector. The MR320 automatically detects the port at boot time.
Using serial multi-port boards, a host can connect a multi-point network of up to 256 terminals.
Input devices
The MR320 incorporates a decoder capable of reading all commonly used bar code symbologies, including Code 39, Interleave 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, Code 11, MSI, Codabar, EAN-8/11 and UPC-A/E.
The front port of the terminal accepts a PC AT compatible keyboard, numeric keypad, magnetic stripe reader, and bar code wand or slot reader.
Furthermore, an additional port located in the back panel can connect to a wand, CCD, laser scanner or bar code slot reader.
