Once you have configured your RF Terminal(s), defined a set of prompts,
and attached KwikCountRF to you worksheet, all you have to do is click
on the Collect Data button and then "sign in" a Terminal. A Terminal is
signed in by selecting the "device sign on" option from the Terminal's
main menu display.
Once a Terminal is signed in, it will display your first prompt and wait for
the operator to scan or key in data. As data is entered for each prompt,
the next prompt will be displayed until data is entered for the last
defined prompt and the collected transaction data is entered into your
worksheet.
When you click on the Collect Data button in the KwikCountRF window,
you will see the RF Terminal Data Collection display
This screen tells you that the system is ready to
sign-in terminals, process transactions, and
collect data. There is a "Save Worksheet" button
that allows you to save the current worksheet
while data collection is running. There are also
two check boxes that allow you to view the
Transaction Server Monitor and automatically
save the worksheet after each transaction is com-
pleted.
The Save Worksheet After Each Transaction
option will cause KwikCountRF to automatically
update your worksheet (save it to disk) after each
transaction is completed. This means that as data is collected on one
or many terminals, the worksheet is saved each time any terminal col-
lects data for the last prompt.
If you have a very large spreadsheet and select Save After Each
Transaction, you may experience short delays and/or slower response
on your Terminals as no Terminal data is processed while the worksheet
is being saved.
The View Transaction Server Monitor option allows you to see a
running status of all RF Terminal activity while the KwikCountRF
Transaction Manager is running. Also, you can see the IP address and
port that the Transaction Manager (which is functioning as a kind of
server for the RF Terminals) is using.
You can also define a log file name to record the log information in. This
must be a complete and correct file name such as in the illustration
above. You can also set the log file maximum size. If the log file reaches
this size, KwikCountRF will delete the oldest entry to make room for the
