Evaluating CaptureIT

You can download a fully working copy of CaptureIT by visiting our downloads area. If you prefer we can send you an evaluation CD. The evaluation version also includes the complete user manual in Microsoft Word and Acrobat format. Print the manual before starting your evaluation.

CaptureIT includes a number of tools to help you evaluate the product.

The Remote Terminal

The Remote Terminal is a software program that mimics a data collection terminal. The way that it is used and the messages it displays are identical to an actual terminal, this enables you to evaluate all of the features of CaptureIT, including terminal usage. The Remote Terminal is supplied as standard.

Create Test Data

The Create Test Data program supplied with CaptureIT can be used to quickly create a test database of up to 1000 employees. You can also use the Create Test Data program to create a blank database when you are ready to start using CaptureIT 'for real'.
