Create a Custom Profile
Y
ou may need to create customized profiles to configure the scanner for
your application. Some settings are only possible when using
customized profiles.
The computer uses profiles to enable symbologies, configure symbology
options, and set scanning options.
The
HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.exm file is used to define or specify one or
more profiles and must be placed on the computer in either of these two
locations:
• \Documents\Profile
The user must create the Profile folder. To learn how to transfer files
from your PC to the mobile computer, see “How to Transfer Files”
on pa
ge 22
.
•
\SharedData\Enterprise\Persistent\Profile
This folder is only accessible by an Enterprise signed application.
To download a sample HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.exm file, go to
www.honeywellaidc.com, navigate to the CT50 -Ex pr
oduct page, and
then select “Honeywell Decoder Settings Sample EXM File” under the
Software listings.
When the HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.exm file is updated, the
computer receives notification, performs initial processing of the profile
information, and writes status information to the
HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.err file. The err file is written back to the
same location as the .exm file, either \Documents\Profile or
\SharedData\Enterprise\Persistent\Profile.
The HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.exm file may contain profiles for both
Wedge Mode and POS Mode. The HoneywellDecoderSettingsV2.exm is
in XML format and each section element defines a different profile. The
profile targeted for Wedge Mode is identified by the name “HONWedge”.
There can only be one HONWedge profile. All other profiles are available
for POS applications.
The HONWedge profile is applied whenever the computer enters Wedge
Mode. POS profiles are applied when a POS application calls the POS
API to set an active profile. POS profiles may be automatically applied
using the Apply command set to true.
