`Has anyone seen the following error in Datawedge 3.2.4:
Error : Scanner : SCN1: Failed to get supported RSM attribute count. Error=a0000012
Error : Scanner : SCN1: Scanning failed. Error : a000001d .
If so do you know the cause or fix?`
One possibility is that your scanner is trying to connect by wireless or Bluetooth to a nearby network. Finale Data Collector operates in disconnected mode, so you don't need any wireless communication on the scanner. You can turn off the scanner's wireless modes to eliminate any pauses from the start menu or Windows icon on the task bar: Settings > Connections > Wireless manager.
If Finale has crashed or if some other software running on the scanner has crashed, you can do a warm reboot on the scanner by pressing and holding the red on/off button for 10 seconds. The button is in the upper right of Motorola MC70 scanners. A warm reboot will recover from any crashed applications and will not erase your hard drive or lose any data.
There is other scenarios to what you are experiencing
A. Scenario #1
The DataWedge may have become corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. The dataWedge is an application that allows to send scanned data from the barcode scanner to the any Finale application you have running on the scanner.
Download datawedge.CAB (you will need to have a Zebra free account)
You must have, or, order your Docking Station Kit (Chargers/Cradles/Docks in the Enterprise Scanning industry are SKU's sold separately, by factory protocol). Plug it into the wall, and, into your Windows 7(preferable) PC USB Port with mini USB-to-USB Communication Cable.
With your MCxx powered on and PC on the internet, dock your MCxx into the cradle and allow the USB drivers to sync with the computer for approximately 10 minutes - this allows your PC's "Windows Mobile Device Center" sync program to auto-install on your PC. This program allows you to view and transfer programs, files, and updates from your Computer to your handheld.
With your MCxx connected to Windows Mobile Device Center, hold you mouse over File Management and then click "Browse the contents of your device". Once your device window is open, drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste the DataWedge.CAB file into the window, to paste onto the unit.
Once DataWedge.CAB file is pasted onto the unit, the revert over to the MC70 touch-screen. From the docked MCxx, click the Windows Start Icon, then click programs, then click File Explorer. Within Windows File Explorer click the top-left dropdown arrow in the grey takbar to select My Device. There you will find the DataWedge.CAB file that you pasted. Click that file to run the installer. A Selection Screen pops up of where to install, and you must Select "Application" to install Data Wedge onto the MC70, click install. Once installation is finished, allow program a minute to initialize then Start Scanning.
B. Scenario #2 - The default baud rate for the scanner needs to be increased.
Open Data Wedge (by clicking icon in toolbar tray on bottom-right of device homescreen > Advanced Configuration > Profiles > Profile0 > Input > Serial > COM 1 > Port Settings > Baud Rate > 115200 > Back
You will want to change the Baud Rates on ports : COM 1 / COM 3 / COM 7 / COM 8.
Once Complete, Keep Clicking Back until datawedge reports that all changes are saved.
Finlay, if none of the above works it might be very helpful to have another Windows mobile that actually works
you can launch the command "System Info" on the command prompt of both of your Windows mobile terminals (the one that work and the one that doesn't) then compare the diferences on the settings
I have a POS terminal (APEXA G from POSBank) that comes with multi-touch screen made by Silicon Works. The touch works perfectly on Windows there are official drivers for it. But for Linux the touch does not work at all. After inspecting the device on Linux Ubuntu distribution using [lsusb -v] command I get the follow information:
Silicon Works Multi-touch Device, VID:PID 29bd:4101
The touchscreen is connected through usb not serial connection.
I tried several generic drivers online but none of them worked for me.
After emailing POSBank technical support I received their quick response which solves my problem.
Following their instructions here is what I did:
1. Uninstall the old touch drivers:
- Lanuch Device Manager
- Human Interface Device -> Usb Input Device
- Remove a USB input device with a value of VID_29BD in the attribute (PID is 3711 or 4101)
2. install latest drivers chipset, LAN, touch, etc... (These drivers downloaded from POSBank official website)
-------------------------------------------------
Please note:
-You need Windows only to run the software that applies the touch firmware upgrade.
-Touch firmware v1.8 is still not available from POSBank official website yet
you have to contact technical support or email me.
-You Must Install SiW Daemon Control Panel to upgrade the firmware (it is included in the touch driver zip file from POSBank official website)
-------------------------------------------------
upgrade the touch firmware to V1.8 using instructions below:
Open SiW Daemon Control Panel
On device tab press F6
Select Multi-touch device 0
Click File open then select the firmware update file
Click FW update
After Ubuntu boots the touch should start working out of the box no special configuration is needed.
Note: After the upgrade the touch may not work on Windows. Don't Panic. You will hear a beeping sound every time you click on the screen which is a good sign. To fix do the following:
Open SiW Daemon Control Panel on the Device tap
select Multi-touch Device_0 then click Open Device
select Mouse table(2nd tap) and check Emulation Mode
select About tab and click Preserve Settings which preserves the settings through Windows restarts.
If you have any questions please let me know.
I am happy with their solution now touch works for me on Windows and Ubuntu.
Thank you POSBank and special thanks to Peter Kim from the technical support.
I am trying to find out a tool to remote control a Motorola MC3190 device running Windows CE 6.0 from a Windows 7 machine.
I have already used Mymobiler with Intermec CN3 device so I tried the answers in this question but I am unable to get it to work.
I have tried both remote.exe.40 and remote.exe.50 in the Mymobiler folder
Using Task Manager on CodeProject mentioned in a question on superuser it seems remote.exe completes execution very quickly (or is crashing silently).
My Start/Programs menu has a MyMobiler entry, so somewhere along the line something seems to have got installed
But when I run Mymobiler on desktop it cannot connect, its icon in system trey remains gray and on mouse hover says Not Connected/
In Proof MyMobiler works for WinCE video the processor is ARM920T-PXA270M while my device has a Marevell, PXA32X-P (link to image) processor could that be the reason?
I have also tried ActiveSync Remote Display from Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys. It installs but at start up it shows an error box with message "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application"
How do I get MyMobiler to work with Motorola MC3190 device running Windows CE 6.0?
Is there any other tool, preferably free, to remote control this device?
EDIT: I came across EveryWAN and found an installer. It works out of box, but it is not available for commercial use and the web-site seems defunct.
PS: I realize the tags are not accurate but I wanted to use something that will attract attention of experts in these similar tags.
I want to clarify one answer to the above which is correct. When using the Microsoft PowerToy activesync remote display, there must be an application on both sides - host(the phone) and remote (the pc). The same is true for MyMobiler.
Install the powertoy on the pc.
For the original Poster: This is what your error message means:
In the case of Activecync Remote display, for newer devices (anything above ARM4 cpus - which means, 2008 and up, or over 200mhz cpus - as a very general guide), the display software cannot detect what type of device you have (it's too new, and not in the list).
For the motorola mc3190, your cpu is arm5 compatible,
and should work with software that has arm4 compliant components. ARD does have arm 4 options. see here...
To Fix it:
You must use file explorer on your pc, and navigate into the application folder: c\Programs...\Windows Mobile Developer...\ActiveSync...\Devices\wce400\armv4t and copy the two files.
While still on the pc, you must then navigate to the Windows folder of the device (with activesync running, OR the phone configured to be seen as a hard disc), use explorer on the PC to navigate to the device.
Vaguely, it will look like this:
Explorer. > Device (such as HTC Phone:)
Or, X:\ , where x is a drive letter.
The first subfolder your select should be Windows. Paste the two files there.
The two files are now copied onto the phone.
At that point, you must, using the phone, load it's file explorer and navigate to that Windows folder on internal memory and manually run cerdisp2.exe that you have now copied there.
With activesync running, and the phone connected to the pc,
You can now run the powertoy active remote display on the pc, and it will communicate with the exe that is running on the phone.
ActiveSync on Xp, or Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista/7/8 must be running for this all to work.
Alternately, the app allows for a networking ip connection instead of activesync, but I have not used it.
When you are done using this app, you must run the kill.exe on the phone, in the windows folder (the second file you copied), to unload the dll that is running.
I can verify this setup works on Xp, Win7 and Win8 - with an Xscale ARM11 528mhz cpu phone.
For MyMobiler, visit their site and get the newest version.
It WILL fix connections that fail, if you have the older version. It's free. They don't support it anymore.
My Mobiler must have activesync running and showing the device connected.
My Mobiler is vastly superior to ActiveSyncRD.
* It will automatically install the pc side app, and push the remote app to the phone, via activesync.
*Further, when activesync is running and anytime you connect the phone, the MyMobiler app will autoload on the phone as well.
That way, whenever you run MyMobiler on the desktop, it will connect to the phone and load right up.
*My Mobiler allows full resolution display, while ARD is limited to 320x400 or similar. 640x800 looks much better.
*MyMobiler also allows full mouse gesture sends, and copy and paste. ARD offers very limited mouse gesture compatability.
MyMobiler also allows IP connections, but they indicate this is slower.
I am now using MyMobiler with Win8 and a touchpad w/ multitouch, and the mouse gestures send very well.
For Windows V/7/8, you might need to run compatability mode on the Mymobiler.exe file. Navigate to the MyMobiler folder, which might be on your desktop. Drill down til you find the exe. Right Click and chose properties. Compatability. Run Compatability Mode for this file, and select XP.
More Notes:
These apps are slow, because USB is slow.
If you enable Fast USB on the phone, it will help speed up any Remote Display noticeably - however Fast USB is unstable, and doesnt work on some configurations. For me, it doesnt work on XP, but does on Win8 - though slightly unstable at times.
On the device: Start> Settings Icon>Connections icon >USB to PC icon. Tick box to enable.
Also, MyMobiler on Win8 will sometimes refuse to connect. Fully unload mymobiler, disconnect the phone, reconnect the phone and watch for activesync to confirm connection. Then reload mymobiler. Sometimes full system reboots are needed, but that's rare.
Windows Mobile Remote Controller app on CodeProject - as linked above, looks excellent. It's for Windows Mobile 7 and 8 - which is fantastic. He provides a rapi enabler to allow use with WinMo 6 / 6.5 devices, which also looks promising.
I've never used MyMobiler, so I can't help there, but how about other options?
Did you look at the Windows Mobile Remote Controller app on CodeProject?
I've had good luck in the past with SOTI's Pocket Controller. It once was free, or had a free version anyway. Not sure if they still do.
Windows CE came with a tool called CERDISP (short for CE Remote Display), which could be built with Platform Builder. I've seen it available as a binary download (like here, for example) on the web before, so no need to actually build it yourself.
I've used MyMobiler (remote.exe.50) on my Windows Mobile 6.5 handheld. It sounds like you got it running. Did you run the MyMobiler client on your Windows 7 box and connect to your handheld by IP address? (Right click on the icon in the Notification Area on Windows 7 and choose "Connect IP...".)
It defaults to the ActiveSync address (169.254.2.1?), so if you're not docked and running ActiveSync, it will fail to connect initially (but manually connecting should work). Misread -- you were able to run the client, but not the server.
You can also elect to run a VNC server on your handheld and use a regular VNC client to connect to it. I've built this one for Windows Mobile 2003 without much of a hitch on Visual Studio 2008. You might have similar luck with Windows Mobile 6.5.
EDIT: If you get the message that reads:
'%s' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
when running the MyMobiler client, then that means that your CPU type (or OS) is incompatible with the application -- so I don't think your PXA32X-P is to blame; especially since the MC3190 appears to be able to run Windows Mobile 6.5 (i.e. the CPU should be "fairly" modern, with support for armv4i). But since you haven't mentioned an error that looks like that, I'd suspect that your build of Windows CE 6.0 doesn't contain all the required dependencies.
The first thing I'd check is if all of the dependencies of MyMobiler are present in your build of Windows CE 6. Windows CE is highly customizable; as such, not all software components will be the same across different builds of Windows CE. MyMobiler is built targeting Windows Mobile, not Windows CE, so there's a good chance that your build of Windows CE on the MC3190 doesn't have what's required, while the video you linked does.
With regards to the ActiveSync Remote Display Power Toy, the message that you received sounds like the desktop application didn't know what version to deploy to your device.
Per readme.txt in the ActiveSync Remote Display package:
If you see error message "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to
this application", it usually means the CPU type of the current
device, typically a Windows CE device, is not recognized by this tool.
The workaround is
1. Find the CPU type of the device (from the manual or the manufacturer).
2. Copy \Devices\wce400\\cerdisp2.exe to the \windows folder of the device.
3. Run "cerhost2.exe -m" on the desktop/laptop.
4. Run cerdisp2.exe on the device.
5. When the remote display is no longer needed, terminate cerdisp2.exe on the device.
You should be able to choose the armv4t version; if not, use the armv4 version.
I would like to know if there is a tool simillar to mymobiler for Wince 5.0 which I can use to control the device from my desktop.
I use mymobiler (v1.25) but I believe it controls only devices running on WM5 and above.
Any help would be highly apprecited as the screen of my device has stopped working.
I use MyMobiler myself when I am coding for WinCE5.0 (not very often but I do know that it works.)
In your extracted MyMobiler zip file is three versions of remote.exe.
remote.exe
remote.exe.50
remote.exe.40
The only one I have gotten to work on wince5 is remote.exe.40
Just rename the existing remote.exe file (remote.exe.wm) [you may have to click tools, folder options, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types]
Next rename remote.exe.40 to remote.exe.
After that you are good to go. Copy remote.exe to the device through activesync (xp) or WMDC (>XP) and launch it on the device. It was a bit funny connecting for me the first time - I click connect on pc, then had to click the tray icon on the device, and click connect.
Good Luck!

This does work, the auto-install doesn't seem to work but if you copy the remote.exe over as mentioned (any location will do), then start remote.exe, click on the MYMobiler icon in the tray and select Connect, it will attach to your PC like the WinMobile version does.
Also, check the ini files in the MyMobiler directory. There's some details on the features/options.
I can confirm that Dave and Mike's solutions work on Windows CE 7 as well.
I was getting an error with the AYGSHELL.dll library when starting My Mobile after the gun was connected.
Run Mymobiler.exe before you connect the scanner to the PC and then connect to the PC using the tray icon from the gun. No error.
