1.5 About the NEO Hand-Held Computer
The NEO is a versatile, light-weight hand-held computer for use in light industrial environ-
ments. It comes in either “Connected” (with 802.11 Wi-Fi connectivity) or “Batch” variants
(without 802.11 Wi-Fi connectivity). The operating system can be either Windows Mobile
6.1 Classic, or Windows CE 5.0 (Professional for Connected variants, Core for Batch
variants).
For more details on the variants and options available for each, see Section 2.2 on page 9.
1.6 Developing Add-Ons for the NEO
The expansion port of the NEO is designed with two basic classes of expansion in mind.
The first is a simple trigger. This has no active electronics and is actuated by a SPST switch
closure, such as in the PX3035 pistol grip.
The second class of expansion devices does contain electronics and is intended for RFID
readers and other possible add-on devices. Communication between the host unit and add-
on devices will be done using USB signalling. Since the power requirement for the add-on
devices is not yet determined, in order to reserve the most flexibility the applied power
supply is derived directly from the unregulated battery, and can be switched on and off
through software.
