PDT 7200/7500 Series Addendum
Overview
This addendum provides an update to the Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM)
documented in the PDT 7200 Series Product Reference Guide and PDT 7500 Series Product
Reference Guide. TCM is a Symbol SDK utility designed to assist you in setting up the
FLASH Disk image. TCM simplifies building and downloading hex images to the PDT 7200/
7500 terminal.
In TCM, you create a script that contains the information (commands to copy files) for
building the image. TCM works with directory windows which display the directory
structure of your script and the source directories, files, and scripts from which you pull
components. You can open multiple scripts, drag and drop items from a drive/directory to the
script, rename and delete files in the script, etc. Upon building the image, TCM adds all the
files, directories, and scripts referenced in the script to the image.
The SDK includes a number of standard scripts and demos/samples for you to use as a base
for creating your own scripts. These scripts can be found in the SYMSDK\SCRIPTS directory.
Note: Before you create a script to build a hex image, identify the files
required (system files, drivers, applications, etc.) and locate the files’
source directories to make the script building process easier.
The required processes for building a hex image in TCM include:
!
Starting TCM
!
Creating or modifying a script
!
Building the hex image
!
Sending the hex image.
Each process is described in this addendum.
