Converting the Application to a Binary File
For your application to run on the terminal, it must be stored as an executable binary file
(
*.BIN
) instead of an executable file (
*.EXE
). Use the
EXE2ABS.EXE
program that comes
with the TRAKKER Antares PSK or EZBuilder to convert the file.
Note: The FileCopy utility or the EZBuilder “download” tool will automatically
convert an executable file (
*.EXE
) to an executable binary file (
*.BIN
) when you
download the file. If you download the applications using another method, you need to
convert the application to a binary file.
To convert an executable file to a binary file
1. Use the TRAKKER Antares PSK or EZBuilder to develop the application.
2. Convert the application from an executable file to a binary file by typing this
command on your development PC:
drive :\intermec\imt24\lib\exe2abs filename .exe
The conversion application (
EXE2ABS.EXE
) creates an executable binary file named
FILENAME.BIN
.
For example, if your application is named
SHIPPING.EXE
and the Intermec directory
is on drive C, type this command on your PC:
c:\intermec\imt24\lib\exe2abs shipping.exe
The conversion application creates the
SHIPPING.BIN
file.
3. If you have a T2425 and plan to download applications and files from the DCS 300
or host, copy all the binary application files and any data files to a 3.5-inch disk.
