Note: ScanChamp ScanTool is powered by both SerialPort and the ScanChamp® engine. ScanChamp ScanTool can be used without any user programming.

Since ScanChamp ScanTool utilizes the industry leading SerialPort API, ScanChamp ScanTool works on any computing platform supported by SerialPort. This means ScanChamp® allows your CS-1504, CS-2000, LaserChamp, Flic HS2120 and other ScanChamp® supported scanners on these platforms.

ScanChamp ScanTool provides an intuitive interface for downloading and storing scans. Scan symbology, and timestamp can also be captured (when supported by the scanner). Files can be written virtually anywhere using a network mapped drive. (See OS X screens for an example).

In addition to supporting the standard read-on-command modes provided by all scanners, ScanChamp also supports scanner specific features like auto-download on the HS2120. The benefit of auto-download is there are no buttons to push, simply dock the scanner and the barcodes are transferred.

Some scanners like the HS2120 also provide a real-time scan mode. To maximize your scanners value, ScanChamp can be used with the scanner in memory mode, and in Real-time mode, use the SerialMagic product to inject data into other programs. All without any programming.
