PrehKeyTec MCI TouchKey - Manual (Page 7)

After creating a project and its layouts, this can be exported to the LCD using "Test
Projects".
However before the layouts can be viewed on the screen, the TouchKey Server has
to be started. This TouchKey Server has to be installed one level above the XML
folder which contains the XML files.
Clicking on the menu "Test Project" creates all the necessary XML files. The
structure of these files is as follows:
- A XML file is created for every layout using the Layout data. If the name of the
layout is for example "L1", then a file named "L1.xml" will be created and
automatically stored in the folder \xml, situated in the export path of the
project’s configuration.
- Additional, if this layout "L1" contains text fields, an extra file called
"L1_txt.xml" will be created.
- Also if this layout contains graphics, a corresponding file called "L1_gfx.xml"
will also be created and stored.
Adding graphics into the TouchKey Programmer
In order to be able to work with user created images in the TouchKey Programmer,
they must first of all be copied into a folder of the Programmer. This is done using the
tool "GraphicsLoader" which is part of the TouchKey Programmer package.
New graphics is loaded into the TouchKey Programmer using the "Add" button. The
"Del" button deletes a graphics from the TouchKey Programmer.
It is important to note that the index of the graphic has to exactly match that in the
flash memory of the TouchKey. The index of the graphic in the flash memory is
written using another tool called "iLCD Setup". We will be taking a look at this tool
later in this document. In case the indexes don’t match, that can be corrected using
the "arrow" buttons of the GraphicsLoader.
