DATACAP 1000 Technical Notes Series 1 By Steve Richard DSD DATACAP 1000 was designed to significantly reduce the programming costs associated with the development of a factory data collection system using the HP 1000 and HP 307X data capture terminals Perceptions of what DATACAP 1000 can do in terms of data collection applications and programming productivity range from no programming needed to you can t do anything without spending weeks writing user subroutines In fact DATACAP s effectiveness falls somewhere in between these two extremes DATACAP is a super too for data COLLECTION but was not designed to provide data PROCESSING for the collected data Users will choose to send the collected data to a central system for processing or write specific applications code to handle processing on the HP 1000 Many users will choose to do both They will use DATACAP to feed some of their data processing applications and also to do some simple but very timely reporting directly from the HP 1000 Volume 4 Number 23 October 15 1979 14 Some applications could be handled by DATACAP without programming but others will be most effective if user subroutines are also utilized In either case DATACAP does NOT provide a TURNKEY solution In both cases DATACAP will provide a reduction in programming time and cost when compared to custom code When selling DATACAP and the HP 3077 into TIME and ATTENDANCE appli
