Apex III/IV
Program Generator
Powerful, and easy to use software, the Apex Windows�-based
Program Generator allows a user to visually create data collection screens,
perform sophisticated math functions and create complex program flow.
Designed as a rapid data collections applications development tool,
the Apex Program Generator enables the developer to create mission
critical business applications in a timely and productive manner.
Utilizing the extensive library of procedures, a user can create
simple or complex batch applications for the Apex without the need
to write a single line of program code

Easy to use screen creation tools and defined procedures make creating
user prompts for data collection, data validation and bar code scanning
manipulation effortless. The Apex Program Generator creates structured
POWER BASIC� code that can be compiled and used as is, or can be further
modified and enhanced using a simple text editor. After designing the
application program flow, the developer will find by using the programs
tools, procedure, on-line help screens and WYSIWYG environment, that the
Apex Program Generator is easy to use for the design and creation of all
popular data collection routines.
The Program Generator supports the development of new applications,
along with the modification of existing applications. And, because programs
are written in POWER BASIC� rather than script, they can be edited and
enhanced as necessary. The Apex Program Generator allows for selection,
and verification of bar code types, data types and data input method (scanned,
keyed or both). Once compiled, the new application can be easily downloaded
into the Apex Terminal. As a DOS based device, the Apex will allow the
user to load multiple applications and call each app from a user-created "Main Menu".
Users can create all types of application programs ranging from simple data
collection to asset tracking to sophisticated inventory collection/tracking
using the Apex Program Generator.
