Preface

This guide clearly and concisely sets out the information developers need to know to get started with the
CASIO DT-X7 series development. The best methods of connecting to your development system are
covered and step by step instructions for installing and testing the CASIO BDKs are included.

The purpose of this guide is to get you to the point where you can start development; you should refer to
the

library manuals for detailed information on the specific APIs.

Important Note

Since the DT-X7 does not have a touch panel display, it is not possible to click on a tab or icon on the
screen

. However, you can change the focus using the F3 key (similar to Tab key on PC’s keyboard) or
the F2 key (similar to Shift+Tab keys on PC’s keyboard).
The Mouse Emulator preinstalled in the DT-X7 series can be invoked by pressing the Fn key and then 4
key

to make the mouse pointer appear in the center of the screen. It can be freely moved in any direction
on the screen you wish using one of the 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 numeric keys. The 5 key is the same as
left-clicking the PC’s mouse. For details, see "Using the mouse cursor" on page E-28 of DT-X7 Series
User’s Guide.

In this reference manual, all explanations assume that the preinstalled Mouse Emulator is in the invoked
state.

Figure 7.2 DT-X7 Device Emulator Figure 7.3 I/O Simulator

Terminology of Emu

lator 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 als

o a software application that logically integrates application

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

60

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.

61

7.3 Using the Device Emulator

7.3.1 DT-X7 Device Emulator

The DT-X7 Device Emulator emulates various operations carried out by the actual DT-X7 device 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-X7 device on
the s

creen of a PC.
The emulator does not have the capability to save the condition at a time of closing the emulator causing
the

emulator’s clock and file system to be initialized every time when it starts up.

Figure 7.4

Key Input

The emulator offers key input capability similar to that of the actual DT-X7 device. For instance, a key
on the emulated keyboard of DT-X7 on the screen (see Figure 7.3) can be clicked with the PC mouse as
wel

l 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 must
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-X7 device.

62

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 ADD1D or ADD2D

button (circled in red in Figure 7.4) to go into the bar code registration

mode.

Figure 7.5

2. Bar code registration

Choose a bar code symbology in the Code T

ype pull-down menu that you wish to register in the

I/O Simulator.

Figure 7.6

63

3. Registration of bar code and note

Enter bar code data in the C

ode field (see Figure 7.6) and a note about the bar code in the Note

field if necessary. Click OK button to complete the bar code registration.

Figure 7.7

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 regi

stered 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 7.8

Note:
In the DT-X7 Device Emulator, types of bar code symbology can be registered are limited to ones which
are set

effect for reading. At a time of starting up the emulator, all the types of bar code symbology are set
readable by default. However, readable bar code symbologies in debugging application software are
defined by the setting of the application software to be debugged.

64

5. Editing registered bar code content

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

tton. Figure

7.8 appears for editing the bar code and its information.

Figure 7.9

6. Deleting registered bar code content

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

ton.

Dialogue screen in Figure 7.9 appears for you to confirm the deletion. If it is okay to delete, click
Yes button, otherwise click No button.

Figure 7.10

65

Detection of 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 7.11

I/O Box

If this box is checked, a notification is issued that the connection between the DT-X7 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.

66

Indications

The I/O Simulator expresses a change of state that occurred in the DT-X7 Device Emulator.

• LED

When the DT-X7 Dev

ice 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-X7 De

vice Emulator vibrates, the vibration icon in the I/O Simulator also turns on. See Figure

7.11.

Figure 7.12

67

7.3.3 Connecting via ActiveSync

If debugging with the Device Emulator is carried out in either eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 or Visual
Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2005, or transmission/reception of a file with the Device Emulator is
carried out, ActiveSync must be used.

9. Visual Studio

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

y Visual Studio 2008
y Visual Studio 2005
y Visual Studio .Net 2003

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

int

egrated in the DT-X7 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.
The exceptions are DT-X11 and IT-600 which do use the same libraries.

• VB or C# applications developed with Visual Studio .NET 2003, but not with the CASIO dedicated

librari

es will run on the DT-X7.

• Applications developed with any functions of CASIO dedic

ated library must be rewritten by
replacing the dedicated functions with the appropriate functions from the Common Device Control
Library.

• New applications for the DT-X7 can be developed using either VB or C# in Visual Studio .NET

20

03 or Visual Studio 2005.

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

too

l for other handheld terminals when porting them to the DT-X7.

• However, if Visual Studio 2005 is used to make modifications, the solution/project from Visual

Studio .NET 2003 is automatically upgraded by Visual Studio 2005. This may result in different
configuration of the output folder according to the parameter settings for the project file. Please take
care when using Visual Studio 2005 to upgrade an existing application and always keep a backup of
your existing project.
