BABOS SOFTWARE

• The DD-Link program allows sending data to a PC, and sending them back to CASIO^®, so data can be stored in floppy or hard disk, they can be printed, and this program makes entering new data items much easier.
• In DD-Link one can display, edit and print the data items by the aid of the accentuated CASIO^® character set.
• CASIO^® Ű PC connection with all CASIO^® manager calculators and pocket viewers:

SF-4300(x); SF-4400; SF-4600(x); SF-4700(x); SF-4900(x); SF-4980(x); SF-4985ER; SF-4990; SF-5100; SF-5300(x); SF-5500(x); SF-5600; SF-6300; SF-6990; SF-7000; SF-7500; SF-7600; SF-7900(x); SF-7990;   SF-8000; SF-8300;SF-8350(x); SF-8500; SF-8900; SF-9000; SF-9300; SF-9350; SF-9500; SF-9600; SF-9700; SF-M10; SF-R10; SF-R20 CSF-4450(x); CSF-4650(x); CSF-4950(x); CSF-4970; CSF-5350; CSF-5550; CSF-5750; CSF-7950; CSF-8950; NX-4000; NX-6000 SF-5580; SF-5780; SF-5980; SF-5590SY; SF-5790SY; SF-5990SY; SF-6500SY; SF-6700SY; SF-6900SY; SF-7100SY; SF-7200SY PV-100; PV-200; PV-200A; PV-250X; PV-S250; PV-400A; PV-450X; PV-S400; PV-S450; PV-S460; PV-S600; PV-S660; PV-750; PV-750P; PV-S1600 New unit models are being built in this software continuously.    (x)=any character

• Data Communication:
  
  • Can be transmitted one at a time or more data item, register or the all CASIO^® registers.
  • In case of SY or PV types the DD-Link supports the PC Sync direct synchronization function. By use of the MSS in case of PV types can be keep the unit in of sync with more PC dossier at the same time .
  • Filtering or - in PC Sync case - deleting double entries.
  • Harmonizing the database of both machine according to "keyfields" with the Update function, or with attention of similarity (by preventing from doubling) with the normal Synchronization function by all calculator types. Harmonizing with chaining data items of the PC to data items of the unit using by Direct synchronization (PC Sync). The DD-Link supports the synchronization of the more units to the one PC dossier. These units can be different subtypes. The full PV unit or only one register of it can be keep in of sync with more different PC dossier by the MSS (Multiple Synchronization System).
  • Automatic PC Sync start on PC by pushing Synchronize button of calculator or Start button on cradle.
  • Automatic COM port control and cable recognition.
  • Support the USB port handling in case of the newer PV types.
• The program interface and its handling is similar to those of Editor programs (File Edit Search … menu commands)
• Menus are similar to that of Windows^®, and the application has a windowed structure.
• Editing data items by the aid of an integrated editor using standard keyboard assignment. Edition can be performed either in the width of the CASIO display or in a variably wide window.
• Clipboard operations are supported.
• Data exchange with other programs, by keeping the accentuated characters of the code tables CWI, 852 and Windows ANSI. (Excel^®, Word^®, Outlook^®, Outl. Express^®, Lotus Organizer^®...etc.)
• Support for all the registers, i.e. modes of the Unit model: Telephone, Business Card, Memo, Quick Memo (Sketch), Calendar, Schedule, Reminder, To do, Free File, Expense, Calculator.
• Text search and replace functions.
• Filter function with, combined filtering criteria (e.g. listing all the people named John and living in Vienna).
• Sorting data by several criteria.
• Selecting data items and performing operations with selected items. (delete, copy, move, print, send to CASIO^®, export in file to other applications, ...etc.)
• Copy from one register into another (e.g. Telephone đ Business Card).
• These functions add extra data arranging functions to the features of the CASIO^® equipment.

 

Data Save and Retrieving (hard and floppy disks)

• Database files can be stored on hard disk, floppy disk, or other writable drive, or work in network environment (e.g. Novell).
• The structure of the file is database where 200.000 pcs data items can be stored in.
• This is a multiuser database that means several users can access the database at the same time. The same data can be read or written simultaneously using several PCs and DD-Links in network environment.
• The modifyed data items are immediately being written into the database so you don't need to save at the end of the work or load at the beginning. Opening or closing takes zero time.
• Database can be protected with password, preventing from unauthorized users.
• Exporting to and Importing from Excel^®, Dbase^®, Foxpro^®, Access^®, Text, CSV, Tab, and other delimited DOS^® and Windows^® files by the aid of CWI, 852, Windows^® Ansi code tables.
• Data exchange between DD-Link Ű Windows Write^®, Word^®, Excel^®, Access^®, Lotus Organizer^®, Outlook^®, Schedule+^®, Outlook Express^® ..etc.
• Loading documents and descriptions by splitting them to the size of the CASIO^®.

 

Printing

• Printing in 8 different and variable base format:
  - Detailed list: in CASIO^® style, full print from first character of the data item to last.
  - Quick list: one data item printed in only one row (as far as there is room).
  - Table: one data item printed in only one row, and the fields in columns.
  - Label: one data item printed to defined size label, with custom field placing.
  - Phone list: The name, employer, and phone number fields (if exists) printed in table format.
  - Calendar: traditional calendar printing with marked days and marks of scheduled items.
  - Date diary: schedule, reminder, todo, expense of one defined period printed.
  - Expense list: creating expense report of one defined period (if exists expense register).

 

Hardware requirements, operating systems

• The program runs in PC with 486DX2 or any faster processor, but above 100 MHz (chiefly to PCSync) is recommended. The memory requirement is 4 MB, and hard disk capacity needed is 20 MB.
• Runs under Windows^® 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, NT, MN, XP.
• The program can be used in Novell or other networks.
• The DD-Link can be used with any CASIO^® compatible serial data communication cable or cradle. The 2.5 Jack plug cable be needed to the traditional CASIO® SF-..., CSF-..., NX-... type units, and the 3.5 Jack plug cable be needed to the CASIO® SF-...SY units. Special plug cable or cradle be needed to the PV type units. The 2.5 Jack plug cable it is necessary that include the electronic circuit. This electronic circuit convert the level of signal from one unit to another. The 3.5 Jack plug cable also can be included electronic circuit, because the signal level of the SF-...SY units smaller than of PC (3V<12V) and because of this the communication not work in all PC without electronic circuit. The all DD-Link cable include the electronic circuit.
