Easy Downloading Using Device Setup Tool and MS ActiveSync Connection
The easiest way to download software to the target device is to use the installation program "Device
Setup Tool", which is installed on the host Windows PC during the first-stage installation of the
IS4910 SDK.
To download IS4910 software to the target device using Device Setup Tool, follow this procedure.
1. Make sure that Microsoft ActiveSync software is installed on your Windows PC. Note that the
IS4910 Software Installation CD contains MS ActiveSync installation package and provides an
option to install it on your PC during the IS4910 software installation procedure.
2. Connect the USB cable from the target device to your Windows PC.
3. Make sure that the USB function driver shipped with your target device is installed on your
Windows PC. Note that usually the USB function driver is installed automatically during
installation of MS ActiveSync software. Now your Windows PC will be able to connect the target
device over ActiveSync.
4. At this point a dialog window should appear on the screen of your PC, asking you to set up a
connection partnership. Select “No” and connect as a guest. Now your Window PC is connected
to the target device over ActiveSync.
5. Start the installation program Device Setup Tool on your Windows PC. You can launch it from the
Start menu by going to “Programs\VuQuest2D SDK\”. Note that the Image Acquisition Device
Driver (vuqdrv.dll) will be placed in the directory specified by the “Path” key in the Device section
of the Driver Initialization File VuQuest2D.ini (the default location is \windows). Other software
components can be placed anywhere.
6. At this point the “Add/Remove Programs” window should appear on the screen of your target
device, asking you whether you want to install software in the default directory. If you select
“Yes”, the software will be installed under the “\Program Files\VuQuest2D Software”.
7. Launch the Demo Application (camtest.exe) from within the target device. Tip: On the device’s
desktop there is a shortcut to the Demo Application.
Here is how the Device Setup Tool works. First, it packages IS4910 software files into a single .cab file by
using the CabWiz utility. Then, if the MS ActiveSync is installed, it passes the generated cab-file to the
Application Manager program which takes care of adding and removing software on the target device via
ActiveSync connection. Note that even if the MS ActiveSync is not installed, the generated cab-file can be
manually copied to the target device (for example, through a media card). The WinCE installation
program (WCELoad.exe) can be used to install software from a cab-file, regardless of how that cab-file
was transmitted to the device. To start the installation process, just double click the cab-file on the device.
Note also that the cab-file will be dynamically deleted during installation. To prevent deleting the cab-file,
you can make it read-only.
