The test.devicecfg file contains the default configuration information for the MSN Direct receiver emulator. To modify the default configuration, you must edit the test.devicecfg file. You can choose to configure the receiver emulator in order to use a different .dat file or a different rate of sending and receiving data.
To configure additional, advanced settings in the test.devicecfg file, you must be familiar with the requirements of the source .dat file.
To configure the receiver emulator
In Windows Explorer, browse to %_WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\SERVERS\OAK\BIN.
Open test.devicecfg by using a text editor.
To change the .dat file that supplies the source data, replace the text in the <Station> tags with the new .dat file name.
If the location of the .dat file is different from the current folder for test.devicecfg, you can specify a new location relative to the current folder. For example:
<Station>\SourceData\Simulated_MSNDirectData.dat</Station>To increase the rate to read from the data, decrease the value of the
RefreshRateattribute in <Station>.To make sure that you get data, the value of the
Strengthattribute in <Station> should be set to "190" andStrengthVarianceshould be set to "0". The range of values forStrengthis from "0" to "255".Save test.devicecfg.
Example
The following code example shows one possible adaptation of the test.devicecfg file:
