Getting Started
Introduction
The PDT 7500 is a portable terminal which puts the processing power of a 486 PC in the
user’s hand. The terminal combines touch screen technology and bar code scanning capability
in a key-based terminal. With its high resolution CGA-compatible screen, the PDT 7500 can
handle both keypad and touch panel input, and the integrated scanner adds bar code input
capability. PDT 7500 units are also available with Spectrum 24® RF wireless LAN
technology.
The PDT 7500 uses the standard MS-DOS 6.22 operating environment. The recommended
application development tool is Microsoft® Visual C ++ V1.52.
Symbol provides extensions for non-PC peripherals (RF, scanning, power management, etc.),
C libraries and TSRs for DOS. To assist in downloading files to the PDT 7500 terminal,
Symbol provides the Windows-based Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM) that allows
the user to create a script listing the files to include in a hex image, build the hex image, and
transfer the hex image to the terminal.
