Task Status
Purpose: A programmer can use the Task Status screens to view the task name, stack, and the
percentage of time a task has been running. You can also use the Task Status screen to
determine the type of RF network protocol, TCP/IP or UDP Plus, loaded on the terminal.
Where Available: Software Diagnostics menu

Definition: The %Time field measures the relative amount of time that a given software task or
component is active. For example, Idle Task (ID) in the Power Management software is a
component. The %Time that Idle Task is active is directly proportional to battery life.
The ID (idle) address should have the largest %Time field. If any other address (task) is
large, you probably have a problem.
You can also check the task list to determine the RF network protocol loaded on the
terminal. Check the list of task names for UDP+ or TCP/IP. A task name of UDP+
means the terminal uses UDP Plus for RF communications. A task name of TCP/IP
means the terminal uses TCP/IP for RF communications.
To refresh the statistics and start from a known point in time, use the Clear Task Profiles
diagnostic option to clear the task status counters.
