EZConfig Editor

EZConfig Editor creates, edits, and manages EXM files for Dolphin terminals. There is an EZConfig Editor on the workstation and an EZConfig Editor on the terminal. In the workstation editor, EXM files are edited, saved, then transferred to the terminal. In the terminal editor, EXM files are edited and saved right on the terminal; see EZConfig Editor on the Terminal (page 2-30).

EXM Files

The EXM file format is an XML format customized for Dolphin terminals that are comprised of sections that sometimes contain child sections and keys. Keys contain the values that configure the terminal.

The EXM file format supports a multi-level, hierarchical, tree structure. The terminal reads the highest level section first and then reads the key values in each section.

EXM files replace INI files for Power Tools and terminal configuration settings. If both an INI file and an EXM file are present for the same application, the terminal defaults to the EXM file and a warning message appears at startup. Remove the INI file from the terminal to avoid this warning message.

Types of Configuration Files

There are two types of configuration files in the EXM file format:

Configuration Documents Program and configure the terminal; see Opening EXM Files on page 2-6.

Registry Documents Update and modify the registry; see Registry Documents on page 2-17.

Installing EZConfig on the Workstation

EZConfig Editor on the terminal installs automatically as part of the Power Tools CAB file. You must install EZConfig Editor on the workstation separately.

1.Obtain the Honeywell EZConfig Editor Setup.exe and save it to the workstation.

2.Double-tap this EXE and follow the installation guide.

3.When installation is complete, a C:\Program Files\Honeywell\EZConfig Editor folder is

created and an EZConfig icon appears on the Desktop

.

Sample EXM Files

After you install the new build on the workstation, default EXM files are stored in the C:\Program Files\Honeywell\Power Tools and Demos for WM 6.0\EZConfig EXM Files folder.
