ScanTexas Portable Batch & RF Application Software

Batch and RF application generator software allows rapid application development for data collection
applications. Most all of the portable products, whether RF or batch, are DOS or other proprietary OS
based units that can be programmed in C. Not all applications truly need the power of a true language
such as C. Most data collection applications are better served with an application generator because most
data collection applications collect, not necessarily fully process the information.
