Using the PSK or EZBuilder to Develop Applications
Intermec has two development tools, the Trakker Antares PSK and
EZBuilder, which you can use to create applications for the terminals.

Developing Applications Using the PSK
You can download the latest version of the PSK at no charge from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com. This kit has a full set of
programming tools to help you create applications for the terminal:

programming tools to help you create applications for the terminal:
• Programmer’s Software Kit (PSK)
• Application Simulator
• FileCopy utility
• Sample programs and Make files
In addition to the PSK, you also need an Intermec-certified 16-bit C/C++
compiler, such as Microsoft Visual C/C++. For help, see your Intermec sales
representative.

Note: You must use the Trakker Antares PSK version 4.2 or later to create
DOS applications. To support DOS .EXE applications, some PSK library
functions were moved from the IM24LIB library to the LLIBCA library.
The IM24LIB library contains Intermec-specific functions.

The PSK is a library of C functions that control the Trakker Antares
programmable terminals. You can program the terminal to display
prompts and error messages, to collect and display data, and to transmit
data to an upline Intermec Gateway, DCS 30X, or host computer. The
PSK functions work with most standard Microsoft C functions. You can
create complex applications that collect, store, manipulate, and transmit
data to meet your system needs.

The Application Simulator is a terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) program
that lets you debug and run Trakker Antares applications on a DOS or
Windows PC. The Simulator captures the PSK and C functions and
makes the PC mimic a Trakker Antares terminal.
