1.1 KYMAN DESCRIPTION

The Datalogic Kyman rugged mobile computer is one of the key elements ofDatalogics mobile@work product family for logistic solutions.

Kyman, thanks to the lightest weight of its category combined with one of the bestergonomics ever seen on the market, reduces the operators fatigue with nocompromises in terms of reliability and robustness. Its sturdy outer casing withovermold protection has been designed to resist harsh environments, multiple drops,

strong shocks, repetitive tumbles as well as sub-zero temperatures.Available in both handheld and pistol-grip models, Kyman guarantees maximumflexibility thanks to the add-on handle. In fact, it is possible to insert or remove thehandle by simply using a screwdriver, maintaining, at the same time, its industrystandard performance for sealing and drop capabilities.

Kyman key features include fully integrated automatic data capture (1D bar code,1D bar code & RFID HF-ISO tags, 1D & 2D bar codes & images), allowing codes tobe read from near contact to several meters distance and simultaneous wirelesscommunication capabilities (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE).

Kyman system architecture is based on the de-facto standard combination of thefastest Intel X-Scale series processors coupled with the Windows CE 5.0 operatingsystem and it is ready to satisfy the most demanding customer needs (i.e. allowing toexpand its memory thanks to a Secure Digital standard slot).

Kyman provides 2 intuitive keyboard layouts, numeric/alphanumeric with backlight,able to fulfill 100% traditional text based applications (i.e. terminal emulation, throughthe DL-TCL-NET software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions(i.e. exploiting the Microsoft Internet Explorer through the DL Locked Web Browserapplication).Kyman provides mobile professionals with the most relevant features needed tooperate in demanding environments: reliability, ruggedness, drop resistance, longlasting batteries, flexible communication and efficient data capture.

2.4 WWAN CONNECTIONS

Kyman GSM/GPRS/EDGE models enhance your connectivity solutions giving youan opening to an international wireless infrastructure that is the standard in Europe

and Asia.

GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), is a digital mobile phone systembased on TDMA; it utilizes the 800, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.

GPRS supports IP (Internet Protocol) and allows accessing Internet and Intranetservices, such as sending and receiving e-mail or Web browsing.

In order to use a WWAN Connection you have to install a SIM Card (see instructionson par. 1.5).

NOTE

In order to avoid wasting energy, the GSM/GPRS module is off bydefault. If you need to have GSM/GPRS working, the module must bepowered on using the Wireless Communications applet (see par. 3.8.4)

16


37/120

CONNECTIONS2

NOTE

Suspending the terminal powers off the GSM/GPRS radio and drops theconnection.When the terminal resumes, if the connection was managed by Microsoft

Internet Explorer, it is automatically restored, otherwise, the radioconnection must be manually re-initialized.

NOTE

The GSM voice capability of this mobile computer has to be addressedto occasional use, in well covered areas.If the coverage is poor, the voice quality can be highly affected.In case of vehicle cradle installations, a good habit is to install theexternal microphone to minimize the risk of noises and echoes.If the coverage is poor, in case of continuous communication, some

degradation of the barcode reading capabilities can be experienced.

2.5 CRADLE CONNECTIONS

The Kyman can also communicate via RS232, USB and Ethernet, using variouscradle models.For further details, refer to the specific cradle model Users Manual.

Windows CE Windows Mobile

3.7.1 Configure

The Configuration applet contains the barcode scanning configuration parameters ina directory tree structure. The available barcode parameters are divided into twogroups: Reader Parameters and Scan Parameters.

The Reader Parameters depend on the type of scanner module installed on themobile computer and allow barcode configuration (i.e. enable/disable Code 39, checkdigit control, etc.).

41


62/120

KYMAN3

The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of thescanning device (i.e. beeper control, LED control, laser timeout, etc.).

Each Data Capture screen window corresponds to a branch of the tree, and the

name of the current branch is displayed at the bottom of each screen window.

Data Capture Configuration Window

The screen format shows two columns where the left column indicates branches or

parameters. Branches have three dots in the right column (...). You can navigatethrough the tree structure using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the itemfield or from the menu.

Parameters have their corresponding current values in the right column. You can editparameter values using the stylus or keyboard arrows directly on the item field orfrom the menu. To change a value for example, select the line of the value to bechanged, choose Edit from the Parameter Menu then choose a new value from thevalues listed in the box (see following figures).

42


63/120


Selecting Data Capture Setup Parameters

Alternatively using the stylus, you can tap once directly on the value on the rightcolumn; continue tapping until the desired value is reached.

To activate a new configuration select the File ->Save Menu to send the newconfiguration to the barcode decoding software and save the new configuration. Thiswill save the configuration to non-volatile memory preventing loss at the next systemreset.

KYMAN3

Reader Parameters

The barcode reading parameters and values are dependent upon the type of scannermodule mounted in your mobile computer. For a detailed list of parameters and of

their configuration procedures, please refer to the SDK Help file on the CD.

Scan Parameters

The Scan Parameters are common to all scanner modules and allow control of thescanning device. The Scan parameters are described as follows:

ScanTimeout: the maximum time, in milliseconds, during which the scanner remainson without decoding any barcode.

BeepType: if set to dual tone, the good read beep is a sequence of high and lowpitch sounds. If set to monotone, the beep is a single pitch sound.

BeepDuration: the time interval, in milliseconds, during which the beeper will soundwhen the scanner reads a code. To disable the beeper, set this value to 0.

BeepFrequency: determines the frequency in Hertz of the beeper.

GoodReadSound: is the filename of a .wav file played when the scanner reads acode.

LedDuration: the length of the good-read led pulse, in milliseconds.

LedPulses: the number of times the good-read led pulse is emitted when thescanner reads a code.

GreenSpotDuration: the length of the green spot pulse, in milliseconds

ContinuousMode: disables the effect of the ScanTimeout parameter.

KeyboardEmulation: if enabled all scanned data are transformed into keyboardevents and can therefore be displayed and saved to a file as if input from the PDAkeyboard. If set to Yes (Clipboard), it copies the scanned data to the systemclipboard.

SoftTrigger: when enabled, the laser can be turned on/off by the applicationsoftware.

ScanAlwaysOn: enables the scanner for barcode reading independently from theapplication software. If set to Disabled after read, it disables the reading after areading attempt. In case the scan button is accidentally pressed, this selectionprevents the driver from decoding new data while the application is still elaboratingprevious data.

71/120


3.8.3 Files Admin

The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the WindowsCE System Folder.

Because Windows Mobile mounts the entire file system in persistent store (ratherthan using RAM), it provides both users and applications with a reliable storageplatform even in the absence of battery power. The FILES ADMIN applet is thereforenot necessary.

Two functions are available on the Files Admin Main window by means of twobuttons:

Files Admin Main Window

Save Session:with this button all files will be permanently saved in the \Windowsdirectory in non-volatile memory.
