 ====== CipherLAB 8200 Series Configuration ======
 This page contains information on configuring the CipherLab 8200 Portable Data Terminal (PDT) aka: data collector. The 8200 model is replacing the 8000 series that have been used for about the past 10 years.
-The installation of the 8200 is different to the 8000 and any application currently used for the 8000 model **MUST** be rewritten for the 8200 model. Loading an 8000 series application onto an 8200 handset will render it useless until the handset flash memory has been erased and the proper application is loaded.

Loading an 8000 series application onto an 8200 handset will render it useless until the handset flash memory has been erased and the program with the proper application is reloaded.
+The 8200 series comes preloaded with an application that fits the requirements of System Five. It allows the scanning of a barcode and the entry of the quantity, and when the data is read from the handset it is in a comma seperated (CSV) text file.
 All the information on this page is for the scenario of a brand new CipherLab 8200 PDT being set up for the first time on a Microsoft Windows PC
