Software Applications; Bluetooth (Option); Avalanche; Software Development - Honeywell HX3 User Manual

Software Applications

The following applications are included:
• WordPad
• Scan Wedge (bar code result manipulation)
• ActiveSync
• Internet Explorer

Bluetooth (Option)

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Bluetooth
Only installed on a Bluetooth equipped HX3. The System Administrator can Discover and Pair targeted Bluetooth
devices for each HX3. The System Administrator can enable / disable Bluetooth settings and assign a Computer
Friendly name for each HX3.
The Bluetooth control panel can also be accessed by doubletapping the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar or on the desk-
top.

Avalanche

The Wavelink Avalanche Enabler installation file is loaded on the HX3; however, the device is not configured to launch
the installation file automatically. The installation application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used.
Following installation, the Wavelink Avalanche Enabler will be an auto-launch application. This behavior can be modi-
fied by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface.

Software Development

The CE API Programming Guide documents HX3-specific API calls. It is intended as an addition to Microsoft Windows CE
API documentation.
A Software Developers Kit (SDK) and additional information about software development can be found on the Technical
Support Portal. Contact Customer Support

Access Files on the Flash Card

Click the My Device icon on the Desktop then click the System icon.
A flash card is used for permanent storage of the HX3 drivers, CAB files and utilities. It is also used for registry content
back up.
CAB files, when executed, are not deleted.
Note: Always perform a warm reset (Start / Run / Warmboot) when exchanging one flash card for another.

HX3 Utilities

The following files are pre-loaded.

LAUNCH.EXE

Launch works in coordination with registry settings to allow drivers or applications to be loaded automatically into
DRAM at system startup. Registry settings control what gets launched; see the App Note for information on these set-
tings. For examples, you can look at the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Persist
Launch will execute .CAB files, .BAT files, or .EXE files.

App Note

All applications to be installed into persistent memory must be in the form of Windows CE CAB files. These CAB
files exist as separate files from the main installation image, and are copied to the CE device using ActiveSync, or
using a Compact Flash ATA card. The CAB files are copied from ATA or using ActiveSync Explore into the folder
System, which is the persistent storage virtual drive. Then, information is added to the registry, if desired, to make
the CAB file auto-launch at startup.
