PulseStar
PulseStar is designed for the harshest environments. It's ideal for the rough usage expected by your busy service technicians.
Memory
PulseStar has 48K of memory, enabling you to store up to 5400 Touch Memory button reads before downloading. When PulseStar touches a button, the Touch Memory button's unique ID is stored in the reader's memory with the date and time.
PulseStar System
A complete PulseStar system includes a PulseStar reader, download station, serial port cable, EZTrakR software, and Touch Memory buttons.
Download Station
The PulseStar download station provides the communications link between the PulseStar and the computer. Each download station holds two PulseStar readers, and data is transferred to the PC via IR.
Battery
PulseStar runs on a 3-volt lithium battery, requiring no recharging, and providing up to a year of performance. Data is stored in non-volatile RAM, so there is no worry about losing data when you change the battery.
Memory Buttons
PulseStar reads Touch Memory buttons, which are small, durable metal canisters that contain a unique ID number that cannot be duplicated. Each button will represent an item of your inventory.
Software
All required software is provided by the EZTrakR system.
Unique Features
Working outdoors in the rain? PulseStar's cylindrical metal case is sealed against dirt and moisture. You can take it outdoors in a rainstorm, or to a dirty, dusty shop floor, without worry--it will still perform. Indoors or outdoors, PulseStar can handle it!
Working in a high-noise environment? Or in an area where any noise would be a disruption? PulseStar indicates a successful read not with a tone, but with a pulse. Only the user gets immediate feedback on a good read--perfect for use on a factory floor or a noisy construction site.
