When real time Interactive data collection is not a requirement, simply disable the Enable ActiveX Host Interactive Interface option and enable the Enable Transaction Batching option to collect transactions directly to a flat ASCII file. This method requires no host programming and is perfect for small batch data collection systems. When selecting Transaction Batching mode, the ASCII file will always be created if it does not exist. This provides the mechanism for unattended processing of a batch with a host application during possible data collection uploads. To interactively process the existing batch, simply rename the file. To view the currently collected transactions click the button. To define the path and filename of the batch collection ASCII file on the host, click the button to display the path and filename dialog widow as shown below.
