MX3-CE Utilities
The following files are pre-loaded by LXE. Not all of these utilities may be present on your unit.
Graphic Utilities
ABOUT.CPL
Control panel which gives all available version information for system. If driver information and
software version numbers are updated in the registry, these are also displayed.
BATTTEST.EXE
Performs a standard battery test loop, where every 10 seconds, a scan occurs, and the current
timestamp and battery voltages are sent via a WinSock connection to a desktop PC for logging.
This utility will also create a log file on a Compact Flash card, if one is present. 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.
DEFAULT.EXE
Utility to setup registry for testing. Registry changes are hardcoded and compiled in, so changes
involve recompiling the utility. After making changes, the utility automatically performs a warm
boot, to be sure the changes take effect.
PEVENT.CPL
Control panel which gives control over which hardware events can wake the system from suspend.
Check boxes are checked if the event will waken the system, or cleared if it will not waken the
system. The default value is for all events to waken the system. These values are stored in the
registry.
PREGEDIT.EXE
Pocket Registry Editor - part of Microsoft Power Tools for Windows CE.
REGDUMP.EXE
Dumps the entire current contents of the registry to a text file in the root directory. This utility
attempts to duplicate the format of files exported from the host PC RegEdit.exe (version 4, ASCII
text). There is not (yet) any mechanism to pull this text file back into the registry, similar to the
RegEdit import function.
SCRIBBLE.EXE
Graphic utility to test quality and resolution of the touchscreen driver. The utility will draw in dot
mode by default (a dot appears for each data point read by the driver). Type L to draw in line mode
(all dots are connected by lines); type D to return to dot mode. This utility has no internal delays
beyond standard windows processing, so the touch messages are queued and displayed identically
to a non-CE application.
