Do you know that Datalogic PAL can have more than 4 field of user input, enhance your memorX3, SkorpioX3, and Falcon X3+

30/Apr/2015

Datalogic build in complimentary data collection software now come with the upgrade up to 10 user fields in stead of 4, you may follow below step on how to enable more than 4 fields.

You need to sync the Memor with your computer and copy the following 2 files from the

Memor to the desktop of your computer where you can edit them. The files you want are

called ApplicationList.xml and Pal.xml, they can be found on the Memor in the following

path \Backup\Pal. When you are done editing them on your computer you will want to

copy the same 2 files back to this directory on the Memor.

The file shown below is the ApplicationsList.xml. I added the blank lines just to help see

how it’s formatted and to better highlight the changes I made. This was taken from a

Memor running Windows CE. Besides the 4 Pal default programs I also setup another

application using Pal Settings. I titled the application “test”. You will note the top 4

sections are the default programs, the last section is the one I added while in pal settings

on the Memor. I had commented out to the right of the line what I changed once I began

editing this on my computer.

**** Here is the section I added for my application named Test ****



test

= If you want to add a custom Icon you would do it

here.

\BACKUP\Pal\Pal.exe

TST = I added this 3 letter command argument.

Pal.TST.csv = I added the same 3 letter

command argument into the file name to be written.

True = I set this to True.

True = I set this to True.

True = I set this to True.



**** This is the end of the new section ****



Now the Pal.xml is a lot larger because it houses some global variables at the beginning

and then has all the applications and field formats for each of the programs in the

ApplicationList.

You will need to copy and paste one of the existing application sections for each

application you add. This is so it will show up in the Pal Apps tab applications drop down

menu.

You will then need to copy and paste the fields from one of the applications so that once

you have copied these xml files back onto your Memor you will have the something to

edit in the Fields tab.
