The Emerson AMS Trex device communicator is designed for comfortable, one-handed, all-day operation in the field. It is packaged in an evenly-balanced form factor with a rugged hand strap so it is easy to hold, even when working in tight spaces. It comes standard with 32 GB of application memory, providing plenty of space to customize with the apps of your choice. With built-in Bluetooth, USB, and WiFi connectivity, data can be moved to and from the communicator using whichever connectivity option is most convenient.
The Trex communicator features a 5.7 inch resistive touchscreen display that is easy to use with bulky work gloves. The adjustable backlit screen can be adjusted to save power and adapt to dark environments or bright sunlight, ensuring a crisp display that is always easy to read.
