Server Install
When you place the IEE SDK CD–ROM (p/n 37720-01) into a drive, the autoplay feature
will open a window with the folders and program icons. If it doesn’t start on its own, click
Windows START button, then Run and enter the CD-ROM drive name (usually d:) in the
text box and click OK. The CD will open a new window–double click the IEE folder.
Click on the IEE icon SetupServer and the install program will lead you step by step
through the process of creating the POS directory, sharing it, and copying the
scanvue.ini file into the directory.
Server install also creates a font directory under POS and loads all the fonts on the CD–
ROM into this directory. ScanVue5
®
has one default font programmed into the unit. This
is a 16x32 pixel glyph containing all 256 characters of the extended ASCII character
set—thus any Latin based language can be supported from this font set.
Unit Configuration
Click on the IEE icon UnitConfig in the root directory SDK CD–ROM window and the
Unit Configuration program will be installed in a subdirectory under POS. This program,
which consists entirely of the one screen shown in the section on using Unit
Configuration, implements the specific set of commands and controls defined in the
API for ScanVue5
®
(see Chapter 5). The program is written in Visual Basic
®
and the
sources and an OCX are provided on the CD–ROM so users can write directly to this
program and make or initiate mode changes from their application program

Software Updates
There are 2 basic models of ScanVue5
®
, which utilize different internal processors and
operating systems. This is transparent to the customer and the API user and there are
no external functional or physical differences between the models with the exception of
the process for online software updates. Future software releases will include both
update methods for both types of units.
When new software is loaded into ScanVue5
®
, the file image is written into RAM
memory. A CRC is calculated and compared with the CRC appended to the file sent
from the host. If the two CRC’s are identical, the file has been loaded without errors and
it is then written into flash memory. The unit will reboot itself and run the new software.
The model type can be easily identified by the software version number on the status
screen when the unit is booted.
