Will be setting up a barcode (7.1) application and need to know what would be the best choice for the scanner unit attachment. Have a choice of a PS2 connector or USB connector. I can understand how the scan output would be received by the application using the PS2 connector, but how does the application see the results of the scan using the USB connector? The USB would be the more simpler and cleaner way. The PS2 connector would need some sort of wye (Y) connector to accommodate both keyboard and scanner.
Ken, FWIW, R:BASE for Windows will recognize any input device, such as USB, PS/2, COM Port, Pen Devices, Tablet PC, Scribble, Blue-Tooth Scanners and so on. USB is the most convenient and popular option. For any specific questions and more feedback from fellow R:BASE 7.x/V-8 users and developers, you may post further questions on the dedicated mailto:[email protected] list. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
