DeviceElement (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the DeviceElement setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting specifies calibration data for a particular digitizer.

Do not create an empty value for this setting.

To get the calibration data, from the command prompt, run Tabcal.exe –export. This produces a device ID and a hexadecimal string containing calibration data.

Next, add a new DeviceElement under LinearityData. Enter the DeviceID as the key and the calibration data as the value.

You can use the Action setting attribute to specify the action to take when you use the configuration file to create or modify an image. The following table shows the possible values.

Value
