I've
recently become aware of an issue when upgrading between different WindowsCE
versions. Please see the details below.
Upgrading from WinCE 2.1.2 (the original
version first released) to WinCE 3.0 (any edition.)
When
upgrading from WinCE 2.1.2 to WinCE 3.0, the settings are lost for the ELO touch
panel calibration, the timezone, the daylight savings flag, and the unit
Machine ID. After upgrading between major WinCE levels, you must
re-enter these settings.
- Enter
the Supervisor Functions\System Setup. (a Manager/Supervisor Card is
required.)
- Calibrate the ELO Touch Panel.
- On
BS 4.1.11, enter the "Calibrate TS" function. (The targets appear twice,
once to set and a second time to verify the first
settings.)
- On
BS 4.0.11, you'll need a keyboard attached so that you can gain access
to the C:\Windows\Control Panel\ELoVa icon. (Execute this icon and the
calibration targets will appear.)
- Input the correct the Machine SN ID setting
using the touch keyboard on the System Setup Screen (look for the serial
number on the black serial number label on the left side of the unit
base).
- Set
the timezone and daylight savings flags. Enter the "Set Date"
function.
- After
setting these values, press the "Apply" button. (The time may
automatically change to something different.)
- Now
set the time and date, if necessary.
- After
setting the time and date, press the Apply button. (The time should
remain the same as you had set it.)
- Press
either the small OK button or the "X" button on the Set Date
window.
- Press
the Large OK button at the bottom of the System Setup Screen. This
is extremely important as this action actually saves the settings you have
just made to the persistent internal Flash memory on the system. (An
hourglass icon should appear in the center of the screen and rotate to
indicate it is busy saving the settings to Flash.)
Upgrading from WinCE 3.0 (June
7th edition) to WinCE 3.0 (July 5th edition.)
When
upgrading from the June 7th edition of WinCE 3.0 to the July 5th edition of
WinCE 3.0 (we're ignoring the July 2nd and July 4th editions), the settings
should remain in the internal Flash memory. The only thing that is
required is to set the time and date correctly.
Set
the timezone and daylight savings flags. Enter the "Set Date"
function.
After
setting these values, press the "Apply" button. (The time may
automatically change to something different.)
Now
set the time and date, if necessary.
After
setting the time and date, press the Apply button. (The time should
remain the same as you had set it.)
Press
either the small OK button or the "X" button on the Set Date
window.
Press
the Large OK button at the bottom of the System Setup Screen. This
is extremely important as this action actually saves the settings you have
just made to the persistent internal Flash memory on the system. (An
hourglass icon should appear in the center of the screen and rotate to
indicate it is busy saving the settings to
Flash.)
A bug
in the Jun 7th edition of WinCE 3.0 didn't allow the factory to set the date and
time. Units were still shipped with the understanding that the Jul
5th edition would correct the problem and that a field upgrade would be done
before use. The ELO Touch Panel calibrations and serial number machine ID
were not affected by this bug.
Upgrading from WinCE 3.0 (July
5th edition) to WinCE 3.0 (any future
edition.)
When
upgrading from the Jul 5th edition of WinCE 3.0 to an edition of WinCE 3.0
that may become available in the future, the settings should remain in the
internal Flash memory.
