3.5 Run a Program

To run a desired program or switch between programs, tap Start and select a program. In order to use memory in a more efficient way, you are recommended to stop a running program or exit a program when it is not desired any longer.

 At the end of the navigation bar, the X (Close) button is provided for closing an active

window.

Be aware that every time when you tap Close, it actually does not exit the program. The program is still running on the background, and therefore, the memory is not freed. In general, the system manages memory automatically, and there is no need to exit a program to open another or to conserve memory. However, random access memory (SDRAM) may be used up when running too many programs. If so, it will slow down the operation or cause program errors. In this case, you should stop one or more running programs to free memory.

 Some programs, such as Swluce and ReadCfg, provide a way to exit. For example, tap

its associated icon from the taskbar, and then tap Exit on the pop-up menu.

3.5.1 Stop a Running Program

Go to Start > Settings > System tab, and then select Memory. In the Running Programs tab, select a program that you want to stop. Alternatively, you may select to stop all the programs that are running.

Warning: Always remember to save data before you tap the Close button or stop the

program.

3.5.2 Switch between Programs

This is an alternative to switch between programs. Go to Start > Settings > System tab, and then select Memory. In the Running Programs tab, select a program that you want to use now. Then tap the Activate button to switch to that program.

54 CPT-9500 Reference Manual

3.6 Remove a User Program

When you install a program, it may be stored in the storage memory of SDRAM. If so, it will appear in the list of installed programs below.

Note: If the program does not appear in the list of installed programs, you may use File

Explorer to locate it. Tap and hold the program, and select [Delete].

1. Go to Start > Settings > System tab, and then select Remove Programs.

2. Tap the name of the program that you want to delete.

3. Tap [Remove].

4. Tap [Yes] to uninstall the program.

If the program files are still in use, you need to stop the program first.

Go to Start > Settings > System tab > Memory > Running Programs tab.

There are three options for data output after decoding:

 Keyboard Emulation

- Data is emulated as typed text and sent to the active Window.

- Simply run your application or Pocket PC built-in program, such as Pocket Excel, to start with data collection.

 Windows Message

- Data is encapsulated in a Windows message (WM_COPYDATA).

- Retrieve the WM_COPYDATA message in your application.

- The decoded data is passed to your application through the IParam parameter.

 Windows Event

- Whenever the reader reads a barcode, a Windows event object named “DecodeEvent” will be signaled and the data will be stored in the Windows message queue.

- Need to create an event object named “DecodeEvent” in your application so that the ReaderCfg utility can signal your application using this event object.

- Call Windows API (ReadMsgQueue) in your application to retrieve the decoded data.

Sample programs are provided for Windows Message & Event programming. For details, please contact the technical support team of Syntech Information.

Note: For the use of a different program rather than ReaderCfg, a dynamic-link library

(DLL) file is provided.
