ITScriptNet™ Batch and Batch Plus software allows users to quickly and easily create batch data collection applications for MAT batch portable data terminals.  

The ITScriptNet program designer features an intuitive visual interface that provides users with a graphical view of how the program will function as it is being constructed, greatly simplifying the development process.

ITScriptNet enables developers to harness the multi-functional data capture capabilities of MAT terminals, including keypad and touch panel input, reading bar codes, signature capture, and picture taking.

With its power, flexibility, and ease of use, ITScriptNet Batch may be used to create a wide range of data collection solutions for inventory control, asset management, warehousing, retail, meter reading, document tracking, and production tracking.

Features

  • Multi-level Programming - Simple yet sophisticated application development tools allow programmers and non-programmers to write effective data collection programs. 

  • Multi-Platform Support - Applications can be written for the MAT 203/204 and the Apex III/IV terminals.

  • Program Simulator - Saves development time by testing data collection applications before deployment. 

  • Data Processing Using Scripts - Collects and processes data with functions using VBScripts to integrate data with other applications or back-end systems.

  • In-Prompt Scripts - Provides great flexibility and power for creating intelligent, interactive programs with conditional branching, user-defined variables, variable text display, and much more. 

  • Data Formatting Support- Data can be formatted for a text file, Microsoft� Excel, Microsoft� Access, or through an ODBC connection.

  • Ready-To-Go™ Applications - Select from 21 pre-designed programs to quickly begin collecting data or to jump-start a custom program. 

  • Additional Batch Plus Features - In-Prompt script debugging, shelling out to custom applications, auto-generating validation files, Active X controls, and receiving input from external devices.

Specifications

  • System Requirements

    • Microsoft� Windows� 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 or higher, XP

    • Minimum RAM: 16 MB (32 MB for Windows� NT or 2000)

    • Minimum hard drive space: 30 MB

    • Screen resolution 800 x 600 or higher

    • Available serial port for communication with the portable data collection unit

    • The online help system and New Program Wizard use HTML help, which requires Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. If you do not have Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, the online help system and New Program Wizard may not function, but the rest of the program will.

  • Communication Requirements

    • MAT batch terminal - End Cap or Dock with Serial or USB cable

    • Microsoft� ActiveSync needed to initially load the client software onto the MAT.

Products

  • Batch  -  batch data collection programs.  The terminals can validate user input using validation rules or lookup files.  The collected data can be downloaded into Text Files, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, or any ODBC-complaint source. 
  • Batch Plus  - extends the capabilities of data collection by adding advanced features such as

  • multiple input elements per prompt

  • IrDA printing

  • automatic validation file generation from ODBC data sources

  • script debugger

  • shell programs

  • integrate ITScriptNet in your custom application by calling the terminal client using a command line, and by embedding ITScriptNet Upload and Download ActiveX controls in your application.

  • OMNI  - Batch or RF data collection programs

 Licenses

  • Developer License -  Licensed by PC.

A Developer License is used to develop an unlimited number of data collection programs.  It includes the communication utilities used to load programs onto the terminal and retrieve data from the terminal. There is no limit to the number of terminals that can communicate with a licensed PC.

  • Runtime License - Licensed by PC.
Set of communication utilities used to load programs onto the terminal and retrieve data from the terminal. There is no limit to the number of terminals that can communicate with a licensed PC.

  • Terminal - There is NO licensing necessary for the terminal.

Client software is required to be loaded, however.

 

Example: A customer wants to write their own programs.

 They are using 10 terminals and have 3 areas in their warehouse that will need to host data download stations (PC’s).

 

The customer would need: 

                1 Developer Program to write the programs

                2 or 3 Runtime Programs

 

They would only need 2 Runtimes Programs if they can use the Developer Program at one of the download stations.  Otherwise, 3 Runtimes would be needed.

 DEMO Program Limitations:

In demo mode a terminal is limited to collecting and downloading 5 records.

Upon downloading and deleting the 5 records from the terminal, a new set of 5 records can be collected and downloaded.

To remove the demo limitation a program must be saved using a licensed Developer Program and then the program must be loaded onto the terminal using the licensed Developer Program or Runtime Program.
