5.0 SMX4032 Scanner Family Windows Interface
The windows release supports Windows 9X/ME/2000/XP®. The primary means of controlling the scanners is a
DLL file that interfaces with the PCI bus via a .VXD file for Windows 9X/ME or .SYS driver for Windows
2000/XP. All of these components are placed at the appropriate directories, and registry entries are made
automatically during Setup.
5.1 Distribution Files
The main directory of the distribution diskette contains the Microsoft® Windows™ SM4040 Scanner software. To
install this software, enter the command "A:SETUP" in the "Run Program" menu of the Windows File Manager; or
double-click on the SETUP.EXE file name from the File Explorer Tool Manager window. Most files on this
diskette are compressed, and must be installed using the SETUP program.
The SMX4032 DLL is a protected-mode Microsoft® Windows™ DLL that will control the Signametrics SMX4032
and SMX4030. It is provided with a sample Visual Basic™ control-panel application (GUI) to demonstrate the
Scanner and the interface to the DLL. Check the README.TXT file for more information about the files contained
on the diskette. Some important files to note are:
