About Tibbo BASIC

The TR610 is a unique time and attendance terminal in that it is one of the first Open Source time and attendance terminals on the market.

The TR610 internal application is written using Tibbo BASIC, an easy-to-learn variant of the BASIC language. The source code for this application is available in the downloads page of this website.

Tip! Scroll down for a video demonstration.
