Chapter 5 Customizing Your Configuration

Changing Text

212
Modify CFGLIT.DAT to change the text of TE configuration menus,
configuration parameters, or system messages. This file contains the strings
that appear in the configuration menus, parameter set-up files, and system
messages.
An identification (ID) number identifies each literal string. To create your
own literal file, you create a text file that associates these numbers with the
actual literal strings. You then use MAKELIT.EXE to convert the text file
to a format the configuration program can use.
Each line in the literal text file begins with the literal ID number. After the
ID number, you type the quoted string that is used when that ID number
is referenced. If you omit an ID number, its string appears as "Bad Literal
File" when you run the program in the terminal.
Literal ID numbers are available upon request from Intermec. Contact
your Intermec representative for more information about ID numbers.
You can create a sample file containing the default literal strings using
MAKELIT.EXE to "reverse engineer" the standard CFGLIT.DAT file. To
do this, type the following command line to unpack CFGLIT.DAT into a
CFGLIT.TXT text file:
makelit -r cfglit.dat cfglit.txt
The CFGLIT.TXT file this command creates contains all the default
strings the configuration program uses. One line in CFGLIT.TXT looks
like this:
0x2f10 "RS232 PORT\nIN USE\n\nPLEASE WAIT!"
"0x2f10" is the literal ID number for the RS-232 port-in-use message that
appears when a personal computer sends an RS-232 command to the TE
program. The message text follows the ID number in a quoted string. The
embedded "\n" sequence within the quoted string indicates a "new line"
character and outputs a carriage return/line feed. To change the text of the
message that appears, change the quoted string. For example, change the
above line to look like this:
0x2f10 "Printing\nPlease Wait!"
When you have a text file with one line for every ID number, use
MAKELIT.EXE to convert the file to an indexed literal file. If your text
file is named CFGLIT.TXT, you would type the following command
which creates the new literal CFGLIT.DAT file. For instructions on how
to download the file, see "Downloading Files" on page 229.
