The Apex Program Generator was designed from the beginning as a rapid
data collections applications development platform for creating mission critical
business applications. The Apex Program Generator is a powerful, and easy to
use, Windows�-based applications development tool that allows a user to visually
create data collection screens, perform sophisticated math functions and create
complex program flow.
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 a breeze. 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 can be used to create new applications or modify 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.
