7.3 Using the Device Emulator

7.3.1 DT-X7 Device Emulator

The DT-X7 Device Emulator emulates various operations carried out by the actual DT-X7 device on
the PC's screen such as mouse operation, input on PC's keyboard, displaying execution of applications,
and operations by actual devices such as the scanner. Figure 7.3 shows an emulated DT-X7 device on
the screen of a PC.
The emulator does not have the capability to save the condition at a time of closing the emulator causing
the emulator's clock and file system to be initialized every time when it starts up.

Key Input
The emulator offers key input capability similar to that of the actual DT-X7 device. For instance, a key
on the emulated keyboard of DT-X7 on the screen (see Figure 7.3) can be clicked with the PC mouse as
well as key input made directly on the PC's keyboard.
Reading Bar Codes
The emulator enables bar codes pre-registered in the I/O Simulator (see Figure 7.2) to be input when
clicking Trigger key on the emulated keyboard (see Figure 7.3). Note however that the Trigger key must
be continuously pressed for a second or more otherwise an incorrect key input may result.
Sound
The emulator offers beep and sound capability similar to that of the actual DT-X7 device.
