7.3 Using the Device Emulator
7.3.1 DT-X8 Device Emulator
The
DT-X8 Device Emulator
emulates various operations carried out by the actual DT-X8 device
on the PC’s screen such as mouse operation, input on PC’s keyboard, displaying execution of
applications, and operations by actual devices such as the scanner. Figure 7.4 shows an emulated
DT-X8 device on the screen of a PC.

Key Input
The emulator offers key input capability similar to that of the actual DT-X8 device. For instance, a
key on the emulated keyboard of DT-X8 on the screen (see Figure 7.4) can be clicked with the PC
mouse as well as key input made directly on the PC’s keyboard.
Reading Bar Codes
The emulator enables bar codes pre-registered in the I/O Simulator (see Figure 7.3) to be input when
clicking Trigger key on the emulated keyboard (see Figure 7.4). Note however that the Trigger key
must be continuously pressed for a second or more otherwise an incorrect key input may result.
Sound
The emulator offers beep and sound capability similar to that of the actual DT-X8 device.
