ARCHITECT USERS MANUAL
Architect is a Windows-based software program use to create

and directly upload applications for use with PT-20 Terminals.
Its user-friendly interface provides users the simplicity in
designing a project suitable for their business needs. It is
similar to drawing objects and lines on a piece of paper.
Architect is designed for novice and advanced users. Unlike
customary methods, basic programming is required to develop
an application. But with Architects node functions, novice
users can develop an application without the need for
programming skills. For more advanced users, the program
node offers versatility that allows users to define basic
commands to execute.
Architect incorporates a systematic project flow: create,
design, compile, simulate and download.
Features
Reduces operation cost. There is no need to purchase a

separate compiler. Architects built-in compiler encodes
the designed project into usable codes that the Terminal
can understand.
User-friendly. Architect uses nodes and drag-and-drop
functions to create and define project properties.
Systematic flow. Projects can be easily understood and
maintained.
Uses Basic language. To cope with more complex business
demands, Architect supports Basic programming input
and utilizes Basic Interpreter to compile applications.
Comes with additional tools. Architect also comes with a
built-in Simulator and PT FileManager. For more details,

Below is a sample project that generates the total cost based

on the quantity and the amount of an item.
Demo Display: This is the display screen.

Item ID: This is an input node. The user enters the Item ID.
If the Item ID entered is invalid, the Terminal will execute
Error ID (display node). The application will start again.
Quantity: This is an input node. If the Item ID entered is
valid, the Terminal will ask the user for the Quantity.
Amount: This is also an input node. After entering the
quantity, the user will enter the amount of the item.
Total: This is an operand node. This node multiplies the
Quantity by the Amount and displays the total value. If
the total value is less than 500, the ADDCharge message is
displayed. If the total value is more than or equal to 500,
the application will start from the Item ID node again.
