to the CETerm Scripting objects that provide a rich extension and customization
environment. We implement most new
features via scripting to provide the greatest flexibility. Here are some highlights of the new features and enhancements: ·
Signature
Capture Object. CETerm now contains a signature capture
object that can create images of signatures or an array of coordinates for a
compact representation. The Signature
Capture object is accessible via scripting and can be used by both web and
terminal emulation sessions. See the CETerm Scripting Manual for complete
details. ·
Digital Clock
Display. The current time and/or date can be
displayed in any text format on the screen. The clock display can also be used to
display information to the user and can be updated via scripting to provide
alerts. ·
Extensive
Additions to CETerm Scripting. Once again, most new features are
implemented within CETerm Scripting to provide the greatest flexibility. We’ve added new Automation Objects and
events to provide more access to the device and CETerm behaviors. As always, we use the industry standard
JavaScript language so you won’t waste time learning a limited and cumbersome
proprietary language. Please see the
CETerm Scripting Guide for a full description of the available features. ·
New Scripting
Automation Objects. Here is a list of the new automation
objects in CETerm scripting: 1. Device.SignatureCapture – Signature Capture control. 2. Device.SmartCard – Contactless SmartCard
(CASIO) 3. Device.GPS – Access and control GPS device. 4. OS.SIP – Soft Input Panel control. 5. OS.Network.ConnectionManager – Network connection control. 6. CETerm.Session(i).Screen – New scrolling controls added. ·
Additional Web
Browser Extensions. Our Industrial Web Browser has been
fully featured for years. Recent
enhancements are mostly found through CETerm Scripting, but we have added a page
progress indicator (Windows CE only) and improved the browser loading
indicator. We have added the ability
to clear cache elements and save the source (Windows CE only). ·
Installable
Codepages for VT220. CETerm now supports the installation of
single-byte and double-byte code pages for VT220 that are not available from the
native Windows “National Language Support” (NLS) on the device. These code pages can also be customized for
special applications. ·
IBM Emulation
Enhancements. CETerm can now restrict the cursor movement
on 5250 emulation to input fields only to eliminate input errors. Also, column separator characters can be
hidden to reduce screen clutter. We
have also added support for the TN3270E (enhanced) protocol. ·
More Network
Awareness Features. We continue to strengthen the network
awareness of CETerm. Now, “Check
Network Before Send” is supported for all emulation
types. Using this feature and Network
Alerts for lost RF connectivity will virtually eliminate dropped sessions
without the added burden and expense of a middleware server. CETerm delivers a simpler operating
environment and the lowest cost of ownership. ·
Barcode Scanner
Control Improvements. CETerm integrates the barcode scanner to
provide consistent and flexible scanning control. Most devices now support the full release
of the scanner when necessary to share the scanner with other applications. For applications which do not integrate the
scanner, CETerm can act as a “scan wedge” and deliver scanner input to those
applications. ·
Additional
Updates. In addition to dozens
of other enhancements, we added support for new device platforms and current
Windows CE versions from all major hardware vendors. Please
refer to the product manuals for details. You can also review the tips in our
Support Wiki. Please review any device specific readme files for additional
information. _______________________________________________________ Upgrading to Version 5.7Please
note that Version 5.7 will require the purchase of a license upgrade for
customers using versions prior to 5.5. Download
