see page 5-6.
2. Convert each application to a binary file using the PSK utility
EXE2ABS.EXE
. For
help, see page 5-8. Or, use the EZBuilder option to convert each application to a
binary file.
3. Copy the applications and files to the host.

About the TRAKKER Antares Programmable Terminals
The terminals ship loaded with a terminal emulation application or a sample application.
You can develop your own data collection application for the terminal and then download
the application to the terminal.
The main difference between the T2420 and T2425 is how you download files:
T2420 You download applications and files from a host computer to one terminal that
is directly connected through the serial port.
T2425 You download applications and files from the DCS 300 (UDP Plus) or host
(TCP/IP) to one or more terminals through the 2.4 GHz RF network. You can also
download applications and files to one T2425 using the serial port.
The next table lists specifications and technical information you need to know to develop
applications for the terminals.
