The company currently supplies markets as diverse as education, industry, government, medical, beverage, lottery, survey, vote tabulation, securities trading, dating services, and many more.
The ACP-2200 was specifically developed to support , health risk appraisal, medical histories, wellness surveys and patient procedure billing applications.
Utilizing the double sided capability of the ACP2200 with a single or multiple page forms design provides sufficient text and response area to meet the space requirements for the many diverse medical applications.
The small footprint, lightweight, and portability of this OMR lends itself well for use in, medical clinics, nurses stations, doctor's offices, and is ideal for use in remote locations when coupled with a laptop computer.
The available Serial or USB protocol provides a reliable and easy-to-use interface to P.C. computers.
A software development kit is available for application developers. The kit includes a MS/Visual Basic source code project containing OMR configuration commands communication interface, mark translation module, and data file output.
ACP-2200 Advantages:
The Model ACP-2200 Optical Mark Reader is the latest design developed by Chatsworth Data Corporation for applications that require processing of data from both sides of a form in a single pass. The ACP (Accessible Card Path) design was specifically developed for use with medical applications incorporating a unique feature which allows easy access to the card path and optic lens for clearing obstructions and performing preventative maintenance on the unit.
Significantly faster than keyboard entry, the ACP-2200 reads both sides of an input form automatically and without error as it scans and transports data. Once the form has been scanned, the resulting data string is terminated by a carriage return (CR) and is automatically transported to the communication port of the attached computer.
RS-232C Serial communications is standard on the APC-2200. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an available option.
The operator and the speed of the computer control the processing speed of the forms. However, most 11-inch forms can be scanned at a rate of 1,500 to 1,800 forms per hour.
The ACP-2200 utilizes "Visible Red" illumination reads black or blue marks made with a ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen as well as pencil, punched and pre-printed marks. Background printing must be in the visible red range. "Infra Red" illumination is available as an option for pencil only marking with colored background printing.
A number of downloadable commands are available to modify the default configuration of the ACP-2200 to support a wide variety of form designs and application requirements.
The Model ACP-2200 is supplied complete with an external Universal Power Supply (100-240V / 47-63Hz), Serial or USB Cable (Macintosh or PC), Operator Guide, Test Cards, and a Utility Software Disk.
The durable design, simplicity of use, and versatility of the ACP-2200 makes it an ideal device for a wide variety of medical related applications.
