• Version 3.0 or higher

Compsee's Windows-based Apex II Program Generator puts programming in your hands, allowing you to visually create applications without having to write a single line of program code.

By responding to the menu-driven prompts regarding data collection, data validation and scanning features, the program generates structured BASIC code that can be used as is, or can be further modified and enhanced using a text editor. Even non-programmers will find the Apex II Program Generator easy to use, with its user-friendly prompts, online help screen and WYSIWYG screens.

The Apex II Program Generator will prompt you for bar code types, for data types and whether data is to be scanned or entered via the keyboard. It then produces an application program and loads it into the terminal. Application types can be simple data collection, asset tracking, inventory collection/tracking, for data base record keeping based on bar code items. And because programs are written in BASIC rather than script, they can be edited and enhanced if necessary.

Compsee's Apex II Program Generator gives you the flexibility you need to keep performance levels high and cost low. It's easy to install, use and modify. The Apex II Program Generator's existing applications are written in BASIC so they can be modified easily. You don't have to be a computer programmer to write custom applications either. And as with all of Compsee's high-quality line of bar code data collection products, the Apex II Program Generator is durable, reliable and affordable.
