EZConfig Editor on the PC (Workstation)

Overview

EZConfig Editor creates, edits, and manages EXM files for Dolphin terminals. There are two versions of EZConfig Editor: one

for the Dolphin terminal and one for the workstation. 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

This chapter details EZConfig Editor running on a PC or workstation. Refer to EZConfig Editor on the Dolphin

Terminal beginning on page 3-1 for information about using EZConfig Editor on a Dolphin terminal.

File Types

EXM Files

The EXM file format is an XML format customized for Dolphin terminals that is comprised of sections that sometimes con-

tain 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 pres-

ent 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.

Registry Documents - Update and modify the registry.

Accessing EZConfig Editor

After you complete installation, EZConfig Editor is available on the workstation from the Start menu.
