Compsee's Windows-based 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 Program Generator easy to use, with its user-friendly
prompts, online help screen and WYSIWYG screens.
The 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 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 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 Program Generator is durable,
reliable and affordable.
