• The communication indicator lamp flashes in green when communication starts.

6. When charging is initiated, Indicator 2 (right side LED) on the DT-X11 lights up in red. When

charging has been completed, it changes its color from red to green.

Notes:

• A high-sensitivity communication element is used for IR communication. In order to ensure

successful communication, avoid using cellular phones or other devices that emit radio wave in the area where you are performing IR communication. If you need to use such a device, move away from the terminals that are in communication. In case of a cellular phone, keep it at least 30cm (11

") away.

• Take care to avoid allowing the cradle power contacts to become connected to each other, which

creates an electric short. Shorting the power contacts can damage the cradle.

4.1 Configuring DIP Switch Settings

Dismounting the bottom cover of the Bridge Satellite Cradle exposes the DIP switches. You can change the ON/OFF settings of the DIP switches to set the configuration. Please, set after switching OFF the power.

Figure 4.3

Note: Other DIP switch settings are used for testing and inspection purposes. Because of this, you should never use any DIP switch settings other than those described above.

5. Connecting the DT-X11 to PC

To make connection establishment with PC, use one of the methods, depending on the OS your PC runs, described below.

• ActiveSync (for Windows XP or any other OS earlier)

Use the ActiveSync to connect the DT-X11 to PC if the PC runs in Windows XP or other OS earlier than Windows XP. The ActiveSync can be downloaded at the URL below.

5.1 Connection via PCMCIA or CF Card

An effective way of getting files from PC to the DT-X11 and vice versa is to use a PCMCIA Storage Card. Assuming you have a PC with a PC Card slot you can easily copy files to the card and transfer them to the DT-X11. Similarly, if your PC has a Compact Flash slot you can use the DT-X11’s PCMCIA slot with a CF card if you use a suitable CF-PCMCIA adaptor. Also, you could use the optional DT-894CFU (“CF Card Extension Unit”) to give the DT-X11 a dedicated Compact Flash slot.

5.2 Connections via ActiveSync

In nearly all cases during development work you will be communicating with the DT-X11 via

ActiveSync connection. There are many ways to connect the DT-X11 to PC via ActiveSync.

Figure 7.1 DT-X11 Device Emulator Figure 7.2 I/O Simulator

Terminology of Emulator and Simulator; The Emulator described in this reference manual is a software application that behaves in a very

similar way to the actual device by imitating individual hardware components or protocols present in the actual hardware.

On the other hand, the Simulator is also a software application that logically integrates application

programming interfaces (“API”) and certain other functions to allow debugging of the application

program using external events. The Emulator performs in a pseudo CPU and hardware

environment and it is impossible for the application to recognize whether it is in the actual device

environment or pseudo environment. However, actions carried out by the Simulator are not as

alike to those performed by actual components but merely mimic them very closely.

7.3 Using the Device Emulator

7.3.1 DT-X11 Device Emulator

The DT-X11 Device Emulator emulates various operations carried out by the actual DT-X11

terminal on the PC’s screen such as mouse operation, input on PC’s keyboard, displaying execution of applications, and operations by actual devices such as the scanner. Figure 7.3 shows an emulated DT

-X11 device on the screen of a PC.

Figure 7.3

Key Input

The emulator offers key input capability similar to that of the actual DT-X11 device. For instance, a key on the emulated keyboard of DT-X11 on the screen (see Figure 7.3) can be clicked with the PC mouse as well as key input made directly on the PC’s keyboard.

Reading Bar Codes

The emulator enables bar codes pre-registered in the I/O Simulator (see Figure 7.2) to be input when clicking Trigger key on the emulated keyboard (see Figure 7.3). Note however that the Trigger key mu

st be continuously pressed for a second or more otherwise an incorrect key input may result.

Sound

The emulator offers beep and sound capability similar to that of the actual DT-X11 device.

7.3.2 I/O Simulator

The I/O Simulator simulates registration of bar codes, generation of low battery warning, detection of terminal being mounted on cradle.

Registration of bar code symbologies

1. Registration

Click either ADD1D or ADD2D button (circled in red in Figure 7.4) to go into the bar code

registratio

n mode.

Figure 7.4

2. Bar code registration

Choose a bar code symbology in the Code Type pull-down menu that you wish to register in the I/O Simulator.

Figure 7.5

3. Registration of bar code and note

Enter bar code data in the Barcode field (see Figure 7.6) and a note about the bar code in the Note field if necess

ary. Click OK button to complete the bar code registration.

Figure 7.6

4. Completion of registration

After completion of the bar codes registration, the screen in Figure 7.7 shows a list of bar codes that

have been registered in the I/O Simulator. Prior to debugging with the Device Emulator,

make sure that you register all bar codes you wish to use in debugging.

Figure 7.7

5. Editing registered bar code content

Highlight a bar code in the list of registered bar codes (see Figure 7.7) and click Edit butto

Figure 7.8 appears for editing the bar code and its information.

Detecting Terminal in Cradle and Low Battery Warning

If you check the I/O Box and Low Battery boxes in STATE SETTING field (see Figure 7.10), the simulator simulates the respective events in the emulator.

Figure 7.10

I/O Box

If this box is checked, a notification is issued that the connection between the DT-X11 Device Emulator and cradle has been established. This notification can be utilized by the application.

Low Battery

If this box is checked, a notification that a low battery state has occurred is raised. The icon in the toolbar in the emulated screen appears too. The notification can be utilized by the application to recognize the low battery state in the hardware.

Indications

The I/O Simulator expresses a change of state that occurred in the DT-X11 Device Emulator.

• LED When the DT-X11 Device Emulator turns on the LED, the LED icon (LED2) in the I/O Simulator also turns

on. See Figure 7.11.

• Vibration When the DT-X11 Device Emulator vibrates, the vibration icon in the I/O Simulator also turns on. See Figure

7.11.

will be copied to the root folder on the terminal. Run the program to check that the process was successful.

You are now ready to begin development work with the DT-X11. The full operation of eVC++ 4.0 and the use of features such as remote debugging are beyond the scope of this guide.

8.2 Using CASIO Libraries from eVC++ 4.0

The DT-X11 SDK provides the libraries for C++ applications. See Chapter 1.2 “Library

Configuration” for the list of libraries provided.

Each library consists of a header file, a dll and a library file. The dlls are built into the ROM of the DT-X11 and you do not need to download. The following is a simple example using one of the System Library functions in the simplest kind of WindowsCE program. The screen will flip 180° each time this program is carried out.

1. Make sure the four “.h” files for the CASIO libraries have been installed in \Program

Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\DT-X11\include\ARMV4I\

(The path is the default but yours will be different if you install the SDK to other location).

2. Make sure the four “.lib” files for the CASIO libraries have been installed in \Program

Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\DT-X11\lib\ARMV4I\.

3. In eVC++ 4.0, choose New from the File menu.

4. Highlight WCE Application. Choose a location and a name for the project and make sure the

ARMV4I option is checked. Click N

ext > button.

5. On the next dialog click A simple Windows CE application option. Click Finish button and

then click OK button.

6. Make sure the DT-X11 is the selected SDK and target device in the pull-down menu box.

7. Click ClassView tab in Solution Explorer and expand classes fully until you can see

WinMain() class. Double click it.

8. At the top of the source file, under #include stdafx.h code add the following code.

9. Move to the line // TO DO: Place code here and add the following code.

int result;

result = SysGet180Rotate(); if( result == FALSE ) { SysSet180Rotate( TRUE ); } else { SysSet180Rotate( FALSE ); }

10. On the Project menu, navigate to Add To Project → Files…

11. Change Files of type: pull-down menu to Library files (.lib).

12. Navigate to the folder where the CASIO library files are stored (see step no. 2 above), highlight

SystemLib file and click OK button.

13. Initiate ActiveSync to establish connection between the DT-X11 and the PC.

14. Choose Build All from Build menu. The project will be built and copied to the DT-X11.

15. Check the operation by running the program. You should find that each time the program is

carried out, the screen flips 180°.

#include SystemLib.h #include SystemLibdef.h

You should now be able to use the CASIO System Library in your C++ applications. See the Common Device Control Library manual for full detail of all the functions.

You can also use the CASIO samples as described in Chapter 1.4.

9. Visual Studio

This chapter explains the development procedure of the application that uses the following development platforms.

- Visual Studio 2008

- Visual Studio 2005

- Visual Studio .Net 2003

• Compact Framework 2.0 is implemented in the DT-X11. It is upper-compatible with Compact

Framework 1.0 implemented in the CASIO DT-X10 and IT-500.

• The functions of the Common Device Control Library which control various individual devices

integrated in the DT-X11 have different name spaces and names from those available for the previous CASIO handheld terminals. They are not compatible with the ones in the previous CASIO library.

• VB .NET application or C# application developed with Visual Studio .NET 2003, but not with

the CASIO dedicated libraries will run on the DT-X11.

• Application developed with any functions of CASIO dedicated library must be rewritten by

replacing the dedicated functions with the appropriate functions from the Device Common Library.

• New application for the DT-X11 can be developed using either VB .NET or C# in Visual

Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005.

• It is recommended that Visual Studio .NET 2003 is used to modify applications developed for

other handheld terminals when porting them to the DT-X11.

• However, if Visual Studio 2005 is used to make modification, the solution/project of Visual

Studio .NET 2003 is automatically changed by Visual Studio 2005. This may result in different configuration of the output folder according to the parameter settings for the project file. Process your application development with care focusing to this change.

9.1 Using CASIO .NET Libraries from VB .NET

The DT-X11 SDK provides the libraries for VB applications. See Chapter 1.2 “Library

Configuration” for the list of libraries provided.

5. In the event function for the button click, add the following code.

Dim result As Int32 Dim msg As String

result = Calib.SystemLibNet.Api.SysSetLED( _ Calib.SystemLibNet.Def.LED_RED, 5, 8, 8)

'.NET vales of “true” and “false” are “-1” and “0” respectively. If result = -1 Then result = Calib.SystemLibNet.Api.SysGetLED() Select Case (result And &HF) Case Calib.SystemLibNet.Def.LED_OFF msg = "LED_OFF" Case Calib.SystemLibNet.Def.LED_RED msg = "LED_RED" Case Calib.SystemLibNet.Def.LED_GREEN msg = "LED_GREEN" Case Calib.SystemLibNet.Def.LED_ORANGE msg = "LED_ORANGE" Case Else msg = "LED_UNKNOWN" End Select MessageBox.Show(msg, "LED") End If

Note:

If you type this code manually you should see the IntelliSense offer you suitable options as

appropriate. If you do not, make sure you review steps 1 to 5 to make sure you have added the

reference correctly.

6. Initiate ActiveSync to establish connection between the DT-X11 and PC.

7. Choose Deploy <name of project> on Build menu.

10. Resources

Microsoft’s http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/ is an extremely comprehensive resource for programmers targeting Windows CE .NET based devices. It includes links to most other useful web based resources. You will find detailed Software, Library and .NET Library manuals on

http://world.casio.com/system/pa.

11. Troubleshooting

Connections from Visual Studio.NET 2003 to Pocket PC and Windows CE .NET devices can be difficult to establish. This appears to be a Visual Studio issue and is not limited to only CASIO handheld terminals. The good news is that once you have established an initial connection, you are unlikely to experience problems thereafter. Here are some things to try if you find that you have this problem:

• Start with an empty, out of the box device. If necessary, hard reset the DT-X11 by holding

down the power key, the CLR key and poking the reset hole on the back of the terminal. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the hard reset. If in doubt, see the User Guide. Please note that this will erase any data currently held in RAM on the device.

• In Visual Studio, choose Tools-Options-Device Tools-Devices. Set the Platform to

Windows CE. Make sure that Transport is set to TCP Connect Transport. Note that once you have successfully connected you can use the Save as option to rename the connection

type to DT-X11 - this makes it clearer which device you are deploying to in future.

• Follow the instruction in the Windows CE Utilities for Visual Studio 2003 readme file in

order to identify the processor type of the connected device. For DT-X11, choose ARMV4I. The default location for the utilities is; \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\WinCE Utilities.

• Establish the ActiveSync connection, and then initiate Visual Studio. Try to deploy a solution.

If it fails, exit Visual Studio, re-start it and try to deploy again.

• Try running the ProxyPorts.reg file that comes with the Windows CE Utilities for Visual

Studio 2003 from Microsoft. See the Readme file that comes with the utilities for detail about

this. After doing this, follow the steps above.

• Follow the other advice in the WinCE Utilities readme file.

• Run the Visual Studio .NET 2003 setup again. Uninstall Smart Device Programmability (by

removing the check boxes) and then re-install Smart Device Programmability.
