The data collection terminal in one embodiment can be configured to be responsive to configuration data expressed in an extensible markup language.
Claims22
A data collection system comprising:
- a portable data collection terminal having a radio transceiver device for reading and/or writing encoded information;
- and
- a computer spaced apart from the portable data collection terminal, the computer being configured to:
- display a graphical user interface (GUI) prompting an operator of the data collection system to enter configuration data for reconfiguring the portable data collection terminal;
- build a data package based on configuration data entered by the operator via the GUI;
- and
- encode the data package into a tag by transferring an encoding command to the portable data collection terminal.
