(downloadable evaluation copy at bottom)

Compsee Apex III hand held terminal brings to the market a rugged, ergonomic unit, designed to facilitate source data collection in a broad range of environments and applications.

The Compsee Apex III features include a full alphanumeric keypad, full graphic display (240 x 160 pixels) with user activated backlighting, a voice capable standard PC 8 ohm speaker, 8MGB or 16MB of Flash memory and 4MB of on-board RAM. The Apex III incorporates a 32 bit Microcontroller @ 33mHz and is Symbol RF Spectrum 24 capable.

The Compsee Apex III supports Batch or RF operations via an internal type III PC Card port (capable of simultaneously supporting two type I or II devices). This port provides the user with numerous options for connectivity and memory expansion including, but not limited to, network interface adapters, high speed modems (both wired and wireless), Flash drives and RAM disks.

The Compsee Apex III is available with or without an integrated laser scanner. The integrated laser options include standard, long range, very high density or wide angle. An optional squeeze-lock connector provides tethered connectivity (2D Scanner, CCD, wand, etc.) in lieu of an integrated laser.

High Speed Data transmission to and from the Apex III can be accomplished via the infrared interface or the optional end cap Serial RS232 Interface port. The Apex III comes with communications software included.

The Apex III incorporates a DOS based operating system (ROM-DOS 6.22), thereby supporting DOS applications, graphic displays and existing DOS user software. AN optional Windows based program generator can assist the user in implementing most data collection applications.
