6.1
Software Version Utility (
DatastripDSVerify2About.exe
)
This utility reports the Operating System (OS) Version, the versions of all
Datastrip specific drivers and components, software license settings, the unit
serial number, and the hardware configuration. To run this utility:
•
Click
Start\Run
•
Click
Browse
then double tap the
Windows
folder
•

button.
6.2
DsVerify Registry Install Utility (
DsVerifyRegInst.exe
)
This application registers all of the Datastrip specific components of the terminal that are needed to
read/write smart cards, scan documents, operate the fingerprint sensor, and so forth. It is typically run
after a software update to register the components in sequence, and it reports any errors if it does not
succeed. If it finishes successfully, there will be a pop-up message box indicating “
Finished
Registration
”. It can take up to a minute or two to complete this process.
Internally, this program calls
regsvrce.ex
e
to register each ActiveX control so that the interface
presented by the ActiveX control will be available for application use. This is usually followed by
RegistrySaver.exe
(or Suspend) to make sure that the altered registry is written to flash memory for
future use. When this application is invoked, it queries the user for the specific mobile terminal type
(
DSVII-SC, DSVII-SW, DSVII-PA, DSV3-SP, or DSV3-EP
) and writes the appropriate platform type
information into the registry along with the other registration information.
6.3
DsVerify Registry Saver Utility (
RegistrySaver.exe
)
This application is used to save the current registry settings to flash memory. This is very useful after
adding applications (or applications components such as ActiveX controls) that require some aspect of the
behavior to be registered. When the terminal is powered-on, the saved registry is read and used as part of
WinCE startup. Datastrip ActiveX components are registered (see
DsVerifyRegInst
application) and
then the registry settings are saved using this application. The registry can also be saved by hitting the
Start/Suspend
function; however, this application is provided to save the registry to non-volatile memory
without having to warm-start the unit.
6.4
Fingerprint Capture Utility (
DsVerifyFpCaptureTest.exe
)
This application demonstrates the capabilities of the integrated fingerprint image sensor, and it provides
a means of exercising the fingerprint imaging system. The application has several buttons that allow a
user to
Scan to the Display
or
Scan to File
. Since this application is provided as source code in the
SDK, it is often used as an example for developers to observe how typical application software can
interface to the fingerprint subsystem.
