MX3-CE Utilities 4-35
E-EQ-MX3CERG-A-ARC MX3-CE Reference Guide
TEMPTEST.EXE
Performs a standard temperature test loop, where every 10 seconds a scan occurs, various I/O ports
are scanned, the Compact Flash slot is tested, and the current timestamp and battery voltages are
sent via a WinSock connection to a desktop PC for logging. There are workarounds in this utility
to be sure the backlight and display power up and blank according to the LXE power management
standard. The desktop utility Socket Monitor.exe must be running on the host to receive the results
of this testing.
UTILITY.EXE
The master test utility application used for SIT testing. The menu items in this utility cover most
of the possible tests of I/O devices on the Windows CE terminal. All tests are interactive; this is
not intended for production testing. NOTE: Most of the sample code in the Windows CE API
Toolkit comes from this application.
WARMBOOT.EXE
Double click to warm boot the computer (i.e., all RAM is preserved). This utility depends on the
Accelent OAL to work, but could be modified to support a different OAL.
WAVPLAY.EXE
Utility to allow playing WAV files by double clicking. Must be located in the Windows directory.
Double click the utility once, to setup the registry. Then, all WAV files will have icons, and you
can double click a WAV file to hear it played.
MX3-CE Command-line Utilities
COLDBOOT.EXE
Command line utility which performs a cold boot (all RAM is erased). Put on the command line
for security, so it isn't clicked by accident. May have to add a password to this utility.
FTP.EXE
Command line utility - similar to the FTP utility under ROM-DOS or Windows NT. An attempt
was made to clone the commands and error message of the ROM-DOS utility, so the same test
batch files can be used. Underlying protocol is WinSock, so it is much more efficient than utilities
that use higher level protocols.
PING.EXE
Command line utility - similar to the ping utility under Windows NT. You can type ping
hostname, and a DNS lookup is performed on hostname, then a ping is sent. Alternatively, you
can type ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, and the IP address is used as given. The ping attempt will retry
5 times, but stops as soon as it succeeds.
RADIOTEST.EXE
Performs a repetitive test on the radio connection, by pinging a known host every 10 seconds. It
displays the results of each ping, as well as dumps them to a log file in the root directory.
