Introduction
6640 Computer
The 6640 Computer is a ruggedized, ergonomic, batteryĆ
powered, touchĆbased computer, with input from finger
touch, stylus, keyboard, or scanner. It has integrated comĆ
munications and various combinations of external and inĆ
ternal peripherals. It is designed for a mobile environment.
AC Power
Alternating Current (AC) power is available through an AC
power adapter. This allows the computer to be operated
from standard electrical outlets. The adapter cable charges
the main and backup batteries while simultaneously powerĆ
ing the computer.
Batteries
The 6640 Computer contains a rechargeable lithium ion
(Li ION) main battery pack and a smaller rechargeable
Li ION backup battery.
If the 6640 Computer is turned off at normal room temperaĆ
ture, a discharged battery takes about 4 hours to recharge.
If the 6640 Computer is turned on at normal room temperaĆ
ture, a discharged battery takes more than 6 hours to reĆ
charge due to the internal heat.
In extreme temperatures, charging may not happen. The
battery temperature must be between 0_ and 55_ C for it to
charge. Once outside this range, the battery will not
charge.
" NOTE:
A backup battery that no longer accepts a charge must be replaced
by a factory-approved service provider.

SECTION 1
Introduction
Floppy Drives
The 6640 Computer supports three floppy drive types: UniĆ
versal Serial Bus (USB), Parallel, and Embedded. No two
drive types can be active at the same time. For example,
you can set the 6640 Computer to use the USB floppy drive,
but at the same time, you cannot use the parallel drive or
the embedded drive. Following is an explanation of each of
the drive types and how to configure the system to use
them.
USB Floppy Drive
The USB floppy drive works with both DOS and Windows
operating systems. In DOS, BIOS is responsible for detectĆ
ing and initializing the drive. When Windows loads, it
takes over this responsibility. This means that the USB
floppy drive will change drive letters in Windows.
EXAMPLE:
If at DOS the USB floppy is drive B:, at Windows it may be drive D:.
Another difference is that for DOS to access the drive, the
USB floppy drive must be attached when the 6640 ComputĆ
er is turned on. This is because the BIOS, during POST,
must be able to detect the drive and its type and then iniĆ
tialize the system to use it. The floppy drive cannot be atĆ
tached while the computer is booting or already booted.
Windows, on the other hand, can detect and initialize the
floppy drive at any time.
The USB floppy drive may be configured in one of two
modes for access at DOS.
Bootable as Drive A:
Configure the USB floppy as the bootable drive A: using the
PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility." Complete instructions on usĆ
ing this utility are in Section 2.
1. Reboot the 6640 Computer, then enter the PhoenixĆ
BIOS Setup Utility" when prompted.
1-5
Introduction
SECTION 1
2. Go to the Diskette A option under the Menu" option
and change the floppy drive type to Not Installed."
This tells the system not to expect a standard floppy
drive so that it can handle a USB bootable drive.
3. Save your changes and exit the utility. This automatiĆ
cally reboots the 6640 Computer.
When the system boots, it will attempt to use the USB
floppy drive to boot the system in the same way as it would
a standard floppy drive. Whether the system boots from
the USB floppy drive or not, you access the USB floppy
drive as drive A:.
Nonbootable as Drive B:
The nonbootable USB floppy mode is the default mode. To
boot the system using the hard drive and access the USB
floppy as drive B:, simply attach the USB floppy drive beĆ
fore turning the 6640 Computer on and booting normally.
No changes are required via the PhoenixBIOS Setup UtilĆ
ity."
Parallel Floppy Drive
The parallel floppy drive looks and acts more like a stanĆ
dard floppy drive than does the USB floppy drive. To use
the parallel drive, attach it to the parallel port (either on
the 6640 Computer or the 6640 dock) and boot normally.
Be sure that a USB floppy drive is NOT attached. Also, the
Diskette A: option under the Menu" option in the PhoeĆ
nixBIOS Setup Utility" should be set to 1.44 MB, 3½." The
parallel floppy is bootable and accessible, from both DOS
and Windows operating systems, as if it were a standard
floppy drive. Its drive letter will not change.
Embedded Floppy Drive
The 6640 Computer supports a flash memoryĆbased interĆ
nal floppy drive. It is bootable and accessible from DOS
and comes up as Drive A:. It looks and acts like a standard
floppy drive. The drive is also read/write but write operaĆ

Introduction
tions are very slow. The 6640 Computer ships with a stanĆ
dard bootable image on this drive that recovers a damaged
hard drive image. In most cases, this image is left asĆis,
but it is possible to reimage the embedded floppy drive with
a userĆsupplied image.
Enable the bootable embedded floppy drive using the
PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility." Complete information on usĆ
ing this utility is in Section 2:
1. Reboot the 6640 Computer, then enter the PhoenixĆ
BIOS Setup Utility" when prompted.
2. Access the Embedded Features submenu under the
Advanced" menu option.
3. Change either ROM/RAM Disk item to XMS Disk"
to activate the embedded floppy drive. If you changed
ROM/RAM Disk 0, this enables the embedded floppy
drive as drive A:. If you changed ROM/RAM Disk 1,
the embedded floppy drive is enabled as drive B:.
4. Save your changes and exit the utility. This automatiĆ
cally reboots the 6640 Computer.
Remember to reset the ROM/RAM Disk item to None"
before attempting to use a USB floppy drive or a parallel
floppy drive.
Hard Drives
The hard disk drive may either be a laptop 2.5", standard
IDE drive, or a Solid State 2.5" IDE drive, and is located
next to the two PC Card slots.

SECTION 1
Tips for Getting Started
As you prepare to develop applications for the 6640 ComĆ
puter (or port existing applications), keep in mind the
following basic suggestions:
"
"
"
"
"
"
1-12
Windows 98 is the operating system. If you are expeĆ
rienced with this operating system, you should be able
to start developing or porting applications.
Become familiar with the tools and techniques for
power management. Monitoring the state of battery
power and using the suspend/resume feature can be
an especially critical function.
When developing for pen input, remember that interĆ
preting handwriting is still a developing field; accuraĆ
cy has not yet reached 100 percent. Furthermore, inĆ
terpreting and storing the results puts an additional
load on the processor. Excessive use of handwriting
recognition software can slow down an otherwise
speedy application. Instead, try to use buttons, item
lists, and pullĆdown menus for common tasks.
When designing a pencentric interface, make full use
of the area provided by the SVGA screen. Make butĆ
tons, pullĆdown menus, text entry fields, etc. large
enough for easy, accurate use in a mobile or highĆpresĆ
sure environment.
Make your applications driveĆindependent. Do not
hardĆcode drive designations. Utilize the many availĆ
able PC Card storage solutions, remembering that the
devices can be moved about as required by different
configurations. The PC Card slots can accept flash,
hard disk devices, RF devices, radio or Local Area NetĆ
work (LAN) modems, and other devices.
Keep in mind the general system design of the target
6640 Computer: file system (hard drive or 80 MB or
220 MB Solid State device), an SVGA screen and keyĆ
pad that are builtĆin, etc.
SECTION 1
Introduction
"
"
There are some files listed in this publication that
could be useful for your configuration or application.
If you need any of these files, first look in the toolkit
for them. If not found there, try one of the Product
Forums on the BBS. Information about accessing the
BBS is on page 1Ć18.
Finally, for development purposes you may consider
using certain external devices. Keep in mind whether
these items are available (or practical) for the applicaĆ
tion to use in the field.
System Configuration
Note that the following paragraphs apply to the standard
configuration for the computer; but it can be configured to
meet specific needs. Additional RAM can be obtained, to
bring the total RAM to 128 MB.

Development Environments
Windows 98
The 6640 Computer can run any mouseĆaware Windows
application. If the system is using a Solid State drive for
the operating system, the Windows configuration provided
by Norand Mobile Systems Division is not fullyĆfeatured.
You may find that you have to add files as needed.
Borland's C compiler includes a utility called TDUMP. You
can run TDUMP on an executable file to display the files or
libraries called by the executable.
Microsoft Visual C++ or Borland C++ for
Windows
Microsoft Visual C++ or Borland C++ for Windows are tools
for experienced C Windows programmers. The Foundation
Class Libraries or the Object Windows Library can be used;
just make sure to watch for space limitations because they
are statically linked. Windows programs, in general, grow
to a large size quickly and can require a lot of extra DLLs,
OCXs, or VBXs.
1-15
Introduction
SECTION 1
Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) for Windows, is an easyĆtoĆuse
tool that lends itself to quick creation of prototype screens
for customer demonstrations and reviews. It includes
screen drawing plus an easy method for inserting code to
control the application.
However, if frequently used forms are not preloaded, the
screen drawing may be slow. Also, the dataĆaware controls
are very nice, but supporting a database with these controls
consumes a lot of memory. VB can handle a large number
of databases, including dBase, Access, Paradox, and FoxĆ
pro. It can also handle ASCII and text files.
When you encounter a Visual Basic program, you should be
aware of the following two common requirements.
"
"
Files with the VBX and OCX extensions are Visual
Basic custom controls. These files support common
features (such as command buttons, list boxes, pen
edit boxes, dataĆaware controls, etc.) that are freĆ
quently seen in Windows applications. They are typiĆ
cally distributed with the application requiring them.
Programs written in Visual Basic V4.0 can be comĆ
piled for 16Ćbit or 32Ćbit mode, depending on installaĆ
tion. Visual Basic 5.0 is 32Ćbit mode only.
Pen for Windows 2.0
Pen for Windows 2.0 is the standard pen application and
consists of standard Windows with extra files, some
changes to SYSTEM.INI, and a new PENWIN.INI file. Pen
Extensions for Windows (PenX) is an optional application
that can be purchased through your sales representative.

Introduction
Other Environments
Any development environment that runs on the aforemenĆ
tioned operating systems, may be used to develop software
for the 6640 Computer. Not all development environments
work as well and are not recommended due to the storage
capacity and speed limitations of the 6640 Computer.
How much space is required?
Many environments assume that the target machine is a
desktop or laptop with virtually unlimited hard drive space.
This may not be the case if the target system is to run from
Solid State drives. Note the storage requirements during
development. For example, Power Builder uses over 3 MB
of DLLs in addition to Windows just to run Hello World."
The 6640 Computer uses a 266 MHz, MMX Pentium procĆ
essor. Test your application performance on a similar comĆ
puter.

Hotkeys (or virtual screen keys) are functional in both DOS
and Windows. The keys arranged across the bottom of the
6640 Display (listed on the next page) are examples of
hotkeys.
These hotkeys enable you to have functional keys without
having to use an external keyboard. These functional keys
can then be activated using your stylus pen or fingertip.
Using applications, these keys can be programmed to
simulate an external keyboard action, such as pressing and
releasing the [Esc] key. Below are instructions for both
DOS and Windows hotkeys.

A single row of hotkeys along the right side of the
display. All these hotkeys are aligned to reach as
far left as the leftmost hotkey in the group and exĆ
tend to right of the display.
None
No assumptions are made on these hotkeys. The
coordinates are not adjusted.
3-7
SECTION 3
Typematic
Check this box to have this hotkey simulate multiple
keystrokes as it is held down, such as the <Del> key
on the keyboard. Leave this box blank to have the
hotkey do one keystroke.
Click the OK button to exit this dialog and save your
changes or click the Cancel button to exit without your
changes.
"
Hotkey Commands
The following list contains hotkey commands (or sequences)
that have been used to create hotkeys for the 6640 ComputĆ
er. Thus, if you want to create a Page Up button, use
(PageUp+)(PageUpć"). Most of these hotkeys are selfĆexĆ
planatory.
A hotkey can be named like these commands, for example
Alt," to simulate an <Alt> key, use (Alt+)(Altć)." To have
the keyboard type A," L," and T," use ALT," otherwise
the parameter help defines a key as a hotkey.

TypematicRate
This defines the number of penpackets to be received, beĆ
fore a hotkey is considered pressed. If the value is high, the
rate at which the keys are repeated (when the pen pressed
on the same key) is low. If the value is low, the rate of repeĆ
tition is high. The default TypematicRate value is 5" if
this entry is left blank.
3-9

BrightStep, ContrastStep
These are step values for incrementing and decrementing
brightness and contrast. Set these to any value between
1ć255. The default value is 5" if these entries are left
blank.
EnableWM
This is a bitmask that specifies which of the four water
marks, Bottom [1], Right [2], Top [4], or Left [8], are enĆ
abled. When any watermark is enabled:
The hotkey in that region should be present outside
the watermark, thus avoiding interference with the
display area.
" The watermark defines the dead zone." All area beĆ
low the bottom watermark, above the top watermark,
to the left of the left watermark, and to the right of
the right watermark is considered dead zone, meaning
any pen touch in that area does not affect the cursor.
DisablePenButton
This either enables [1] or disables [0] the button found on
your stylus pen. If enabled, you can use the pen button to
do rightĆclick functions on the 6640 Computer.
"
InputMode
This string value is the initialization string sent to the
MicroTouch touch screen controller when the pen drivers
are loaded. Valid values are: PO" (Pen Only), FO" (Finger
Only), or PF" (Pen and Finger). This lets you enable or
disable the pen or finger input on the control panel.

Bootable Network Recovery Diskette
A compressed image of an entire hard drive can be stored in
a single *.PQI file. Power Quest EasyRestore (PQER) is the
product that can take the *.PQI file and restore the entire
hard drive to a previous state, the state at which the *.PQI
file was made. Each 6640 Toolkit CD contains two .PQI
files, one for the full image and one for the minimal image.

SECTION 4
Bootable Network Cloning Diskette
Images on the Toolkit CD are standard images for anyone
that orders the Toolkit CD. You may want to install images
on units that already have applications and custom configuĆ
rations loaded. Thus, you may order the 6640 Toolkit CD
plus the Custom imaging package that contains PQDI."
This would install the standard image on one 6640 ComputĆ
er, then you can install your applications and change any
settings you deem necessary. Then use PQDI" to create a
custom image. Once the custom image is created, you can
install the custom image on other 6640 Computers and
have applications and settings installed at that time.
PQDI" captures the entire content of a drive partition and
stores it in a file. When PQDI" restores the partition to a
drive, the drive must have enough free space available for
the partition to fit. This is so PQDI" can expand a partiĆ
tion to fill the remaining free space, but PQDI" cannot
shrink a partition.
When choosing a 6640 Computer to create a custom image,
choose the computer with the smallest hard drive and largĆ
est STD partition. This will ensure that the image fits
without problems; or use partition magic" to shrink the
main partition before using PQDI" to create the image.
The Network Cloning Diskette" option allows you to create
one floppy diskette. Using the same diskette, you can boot
a 6640 Computer and create an image of the hard drive on
the network. Once the image is created, you can take the
same diskette and place it in another 6640 Computer and
recover the unit, using the custom image just created on
the network.

Norand Mobile Systems Division of Intermec Technologies
Corporation provides a minimal" Windows 98 operating
system configuration for you if you want to reduce the size
of the storage footprint required by the system. The miniĆ
mal Windows 98 load contains all of the necessary files to
boot and bring up the Windows 98 operating system.
It is possible that files needed by some applications may not
be present in the minimal load. Most of the excluded files
are files located in the C:\Windows\System" directory.
For example, many DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) in any
full windows load may not be in the minimal load. By using
utilities, you should be able to determine which files are
needed by the application being developed.
The required files can then be added to the minimal load.
Also, many of the unused Microsoft Windows 98 compoĆ
nents can be uninstalled from the Windows configuration, if
not needed by your application. Then, the associated files
can be deleted from the minimal load to further reduce the
storage requirements.
6-1
SECTION 6
Application Integration
A successful application integration into the minimal WinĆ
dows 98 configuration involves the following steps:
1. Use an Appropriate Development Environment
for the Application.
This development environment should create a small
application footprint to reduce storage size requireĆ
ments. Avoid development environments that produce
larger than necessary Windows applications. Also use
static linking when creating an application. This proĆ
duces an executable that does not requires any addiĆ
tional DLL files that may not be included in the miniĆ
mal Windows 98 load.
Creating a standĆalone application eases integration
into the minimal Windows 98 load. You may run an
installation utility to install the necessary files to supĆ
port the application on the minimal load, but the utilĆ
ity cannot run on the minimal load without all of the
DLL files that come on the full Windows 98 load. If
necessary, copy these installation files to the minimal
load, then delete these files after the installation is
complete.
2. Assess the Application's RAM Requirements.
During the application development process, deterĆ
mine how much RAM is required for the application to
run. Ask yourself the following questions:
"
"
"
6-2
Can the application run in 32 MB of RAM withĆ
out virtual memory enabled?
If virtual memory is required, how much disk
space needs to be available to accommodate the
virtual memory swap space?
Should Windows manage the virtual memory
swap file size, or do I fix the amount of disk
space available?
SECTION 6
All of these help determine whether an application can
be successfully integrated with the minimal Windows
98 load and fit on any sized SanDisk flash drive.
" NOTE:
You must leave sufficient disk space for virtual memory management or disable virtual memory.
Many applications use significant amounts of RAM
and cannot function properly without enabled WinĆ
dows memory management. Some applications may
execute without enabled memory management, while
others will require it.
3. Install NORAND and OEM drivers.
The NORAND Toolkit provides a software installation
program to install all of the particular drivers reĆ
quired for the configuration. These are NORAND and
OEM software which interfaces the handĆheld computĆ
er with external or internal accessory devices, such as
printer drivers, handwriting recognition, GPS radio,
scanners, CDPD radios, and so forth.
4. Integrate the Software Application.
Once a custom base is created and the correct softĆ
ware drivers are installed, install the application softĆ
ware onto the system. As mentioned earlier, using
statically linked code for the development process reĆ
sults in the application not requiring any additional
DLL files.
If static linking is not used, the NORAND Toolkit proĆ
vides an analysis utility, which tracks all file accesses
made while an application is running on a full WinĆ
dows 98 load. The utility then generates a script file
showing all files opened during a given execution periĆ
od.
6-3
SECTION 6
5. Using FILEMON
The target application is installed or copied onto the
6640 Computer running a minimal Windows 98 load,
and the FILEMON utility monitors all unsuccessful
file access attempts when starting or running the apĆ
plication. Then the missing files can be manually copĆ
ied from a full Windows 98 image or extracted from
the .CAB files using the EXTRACT.EXE program.
Below is a stepĆbyĆstep procedure for running
FILEMON to monitor an application on the 6640
Computer.
a. Image a hard drive using the 6640 Toolkit, selecting
the minimal load option.
b. Install and copy the target application to the miniĆ
mal load flash card.
c. Obtain the FILEMON utility from the Systems
Internals web site at:
http://www.sysinternals.com/filemon.htm
(it consists of two files: FILEMON.EXE and
FILEVXD.VXD).
d. Copy the FILEMON and FILEVXD files to the
\windows\desktop folder of the minimal load.
e. Boot the 6640 Computer to the minimal load.
f. Once booted, start the FILEMON utility from the
desktop on the 6640 Computer (it will begin logging
right away).
g. Immediately start the target application, and conĆ
tinue running the target application until a failure
occurs or the application is terminated.
h. Stop the FILEMON utility (click on magnifying
glass so an X" is across it).
i. In FILEMON, select File → Save and name the
file FILEMON.FIL. Save the file to the
C:\6640Utilities" directory.
6-4
SECTION 6
EXAMPLE:
Below is a sample FILEMON screen:
j. View FILEMON.FIL and search for NOTFOUND"
under the Result" column (second from right). If a
.DLL or .VXD file is not found, obtain the file from
a full load and place it on the minimal load.
k. Restart the 6640 Computer with the minimal load
and start the target application again. If the failĆ
ure happens again, go back to step f and redo the
process.
6-5
SECTION 6
6. Creating a Windows 98 Minimal Load
Creating a Windows 98 Minimal Load is an iterative
process. Intermec Technologies has attempted to
create a robust Minimal Load for the purpose of testĆ
ing the tools used to create a load. The Minimal Load
is by definition a Minimal Load and does have funcĆ
tionality that is present in a Full Load. Ideally MiniĆ
mal loads should be created on the target computer
and should have access to the Full Load, the Windows
98 .CAB files, and the tools used to create and debug
minimal loads. The scope of the machine running the
minimal load should be well defined, since adding
hardware or software the minimal load was not deĆ
signed for may require restoring files previously not
needed from the Full Load.
Below is an overview of the minimal load creation
tools:
Logfiles
FileMon
DOS file logging tool. This program starts before Windows
95/98 and keeps track of every file that is accessed during
the Windows execution. After Windows 95/98 shuts down,
this utility creates a batch file for creating the Minimal
load.
Usage:
Useful in creating the initial minimal load and
monitoring the file access during startup.
Source:
This utility was created by Intermec
Technologies Corporation. See next page for

LOGFILES.EXE
The primary purpose of the LOGFILES.EXE utility is to
determine the minimum set of files that are required by a
specific Windows 95/98 configuration. LOGFILES runs beĆ
tween DOS and Windows 95/98. It hooks the realĆmode
DOS device driver allowing it to monitors all drive access of
files and directories. So when using LOGFILES to create a
load, you need to exercise all functionality that will be reĆ
quired on the target machine running the minimal load. In
other words, any file not accessed will not be copied, resultĆ
ing in lose of functionality.
Usage: logfiles [–D<drive>] [–F<file>] [–L<format>] <program>
–D: Indicate drive to monitor. Defaults to C:.
–F: Sends output to a file instead of the console (stdout).
–LA: Listing is ALZ–format listing
–LB: Listing is a DOS batch file that can be used to copy the touched files.
<program>: The DOS program to monitor.
EXAMPLE:
logfiles –DD –FDIR.ALZ –LA command /c dir d:*. /s
logfiles –FWINCOPY.BAT –LB c:windowswin.com
then execute batch file in DOS box: WINCOPY c: c:

This section defines several ways you can do system recovĆ
eries on the 6640 Computer. The components needed for a
6640 Recovery Procedure are available in the 6640 Toolkit.
Contact your Sales Representative for information.
The 6640 Computer uses thirdĆparty software from PowerĆ
Quest (http://www.powerquest.com) along with MSĆDOS
networking for system recovery. Software from PowerQuest
stores and restores the entire contents of a hard drive to
and from a single file.
Each 6640 Toolkit CD contains two factoryĆinstalled hard
drive images created specifically for the 6640 Computer usĆ
ing software from PowerQuest. The images are located in
the \images" subdirectory on the Toolkit CD.
Using a recovery disk, you boot the 6640 Computer, create
the proper HDD (Hard Disk Drive) partitions, gain access
to the 6640 Toolkit CD by connecting to a designated server
with the HDD image file, restore the HDD on the 6640
Computer to a known state, and reboot.
7-1
Recovery Procedures
SECTION 7
Assumptions
The following assumptions are made prior to conducting a
system recovery:
"
"
"
"
"
"
7-2
Only two partitions exist on a HDD image, a Fat32
main partition is in position 1 of the partition table,
and an STD is placed in position 4 of the partition
table.
The STD partition is recreated on every drive and nevĆ
er saved.
When reimaging a system, the main partition will exĆ
pand to fill all remaining free space.
The main partition cannot be resized smaller. In othĆ
er words, if the partition was 500 MB when stored
into the PQDI" image file, it can only go on a drive
with at least 500 MB of free space.
Reimaging a system destroys all existing partitions
and data.
Modifications can be made to the 6640 recovery
process only if it is fully understood. Follow the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT trail for
selfĆdocumenting batch files, and refer to the PQDI"
documentation for more details.
