Total Control of TriCoder via USB
Upload collected data using our powerful host-controlled USB interface - Upload data, download tables and change the TriCoder setup without touching a key on the TriCoder! Our Integrated Hardware Utilities for Windows® takes care of it all - configuration changes and program downloads are just a click away!

2MB Memory
All 2MB of memory is available for user data storage; no memory is taken up for programs or voice messages. The 2MB of memory may not sound like much in our modern world, but it corresponds to scanning over 200,000 individual 10 digit bar codes before the memory would be full.

Voice Prompting in Addition to the LCD Display
You can pre-record up to 99 custom audible voice messages in addition to the standard displayable prompts on the 15 Line LCD. Your pre-recorded messages play at the times you have specified. The voice messages are clear and easily heard through either the high quality speaker or through an earphone in noisy environments. Voice messages are not required. You can use the traditional display only, or display in conjunction with voice prompts. Voice messages are beneficial in dimly lit or extreme cold areas, can facilitate faster scanning, and can be recorded in any language. This is a Worth Data exclusive and patented feature.

USB Interface
For USB interface, all models of the TriCoder feature built-in USB for quick connection and easy communication using the C25 Micro USB Cable. Data can be uploaded into a file, or directly into the application programs as keyboard data. USB offers the best of both worlds - simple keyboard input and lightning-fast data uploads, firmware changes, program uploads/downloads, voice uploads, and table downloads! The Integrated Hardware Utilities supports USB uploads and downloads in Windows 11, 10, 8, & 7. In addition the 5000 TriCoders work on both 32bit or 64bit systems.

Excel Plug-In included Free!
Using the KwikCount/EX™ add-in, you can identify which worksheet columns you wish the TriCoder data to be flowed into. To update existing Excel worksheets, simply designate which field sequence (i.e. the stock number) is the controlling "key" or "lookup" field and then link it to the appropriate column in the worksheet. This is perfect for cycle counts, inventory, accounting, receiving and other common office tasks.

Powerful Built In Programs Included
You don't need to program the TriCoder - just use any of the three built-in programs provided for free. Here's what they do:

• Program 1 records all bar codes read (item, item, item,....)
• Program 2 records item numbers and quantities - Perfect for Inventory!
• Program 3 records item numbers and quantities - with an automated quantity "1" entry on single item scans - for even faster inventory scanning

Easy Custom Programming
The TriCoder comes with its own built-in program generator. You just describe the text and sequence of prompts plus the input data characteristics. The TriCoder then generates a working program. A novice programmer can master TriCoder programming in 10 minutes. Up to 4 programs, (3 user written) can reside within. It's powerful too! Programming features available include:

• Time/Date Stamping
• Voice Prompt Control
• Table Validation
• Table Data Look Up & Display
• Each Program can have 60 steps
• Duplicate Access Checking
• Branching Statements
• Yes/No Logic
• Simple Math Arithmetic - Great for Inventory Counts

Virtual TriCoder
You can create programs for the TriCoder on a Windows machine using the Virtual TriCoder in the Hardware Utilities. A TriCoder program can be written, stored and tested on the computer, and then downloaded to the TriCoder. The Integrated Hardware Utilities with the Virtual TriCoder is included with all TriCoder's and can be downloaded from our Download Page. Of course programs can easily be written right on the TriCoder unit as usual. Using the Virtual TriCoder is helpful for people who prefer to develop on their desktop, or who have several very complicated programs that they want to test and develop for later downloading to the TriCoder. You can even download and run the Virtual TriCoder to evaluate TriCoder programming before you buy!

Firmware Updates
Update to latest firmware via USB - the latest firmware always available for download from web. Take advantage of new features immediately!

Double Duty
The TriCoder can function as a stationary on-line reader also, performing double duty. For example, the retailer can use the TriCoder as a Point of Sale reader, or it can be used as a portable to take a physical inventory.
