The Allegro Field PC has
a number of expansion pods that provide additional facilities.
Expansion Pods
Expansion Pods
Expansion pods for the Allegro provide the benefits of
accurate bar code scanning, wireless LAN and GPS
without the hassle of cables that may impede your work
in the field. The fully-sealed, waterproof pod
enclosure integrated with the Allegro Field PC is a
patented design, complementing the ruggedness and
reliability of the Allegro. The pods replace the
standard PC card door on the Allegro.
The Allegro Field PC with an expansion pod option
is used in applications such as forest inventory,
agriculture research, fisheries, facilities and asset
management, wood products, land surveying,
distribution and many others.
Expansion
pods available:
Bar Code Expansion Pod: High performance bar code
scanning in outdoor light
802.11b Expansion Pod: Provides Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) capability
Bar Code Scanner with 802.11b: High Performance
Bar Code Scanner with WLAN capability
GPS Expansion Pod: Map, navigate and log GPS
positions
BAR
CODE SCANNING
Bar code
scanning is available with two expansion pods: the bar
code scanner and
the combination bar code scanner/802.11b receiver. In
these expansion pods, the high performance bar code
scanner is incorporated in the integral design of the
rugged field computer. This integrated design eliminates
cables or extraneous battery packs inherent when using
an external bar code scanner with a handheld computer.
Win CE Software Enables Immediate Bar
Code Data Entry in Your Applications
An easy-to-use Windows CE bar code setup program is
included at no extra charge. This software package
allows you to customize the scanner setup for your data
collection needs. After setup, begin bar code data entry
immediately within your application program.
Bar Code Scanning Features
High performance bar code scanning in outdoor,
bright light
Outstanding performance in wide temperature ranges
(-30 C to 54 C) and extreme conditions
Ability to scan bar codes 1 to 3 feet away
Excellent ability to scan poorly printed or low
contrast bar codes
Low power consumption
Compatible with nine different bar code
symbologies
Built-in bar code reading software to enable
automatic bar code data entry into most application
programs
WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY FROM THE FIELD TO YOUR LOCAL AREA
NETWORK
In today's
world, you need access to a wide variety of information
from centralized databas
es
for on-site, mobile decision analysis. Wireless
connection to a local area network is made possible with
the 802.11 expansion pods on the Allegro. With 802.11b,
you can wirelessly connect to your computer network
while working in the field. Wireless connectivity is
provided by two expansion pods: the 802.11b and the
combination bar code/802.11b. The expansion pods feature
a Cisco Aironet 350 PC Card as the IEEE 802.11b
receiver. You receive full documentation and Win CE
drivers to enable wireless transfer of data to your
802.11b compatible access point.
Wireless LAN via 802.11b Features
Superior range and throughput Indoor: 130 feet at
11 Mbps, 350 feet at 1 Mbps Outdoor: 800 feet at 11
Mbps, 2000 feet at 1 Mbps
Secure network communications World mode for
international roaming
Full-featured utilities for each configuration
Compliance with the IEEE 802.11b highrate standard
ADD GEOREFERENCED POSITIONS TO
YOUR COLLECTED DATA
The
GPS expansion pod integrates the Trimble Lassen LP GPS
receiver with the Allegro. The expansion pod receives
GPS positions that are used in conjunction with several
GIS/GPS packages. Use the Allegro with GPS to map,
navigate or log positions.
GPS Features:
The Lassen LP module is a high performance,
low-power, micro GPS receiver
Both TSIP or NMEA protocols can be used with the
Lassen LP receiver Compatible with Trimbles TerraSync
software
The compact 3.3 V active micropatch antenna is
securely mounted to the top of the Allegro
