Installing the SDK: 2.4 Installation and Setup: Registry Configuration

| Up: GEOS SDK TechDocs | Up | Prev: 2.3 Environment Configuration | Next: 3 Launching NT GEOS and Swat

To check your registry settings, run GeosSetup.exe from the GEOS SDK Program Group. (Note: do not confuse GeosSetup.exe for setup.exe, which is the installer program.)

Swat (here and on its command line) prefers forward slashes in directory paths; backslashes are sometimes inadvertently interpreted as special characters (\tools as <TAB> ools, for instance).

 

SDK Root
C:/PCGEOS (local) or S:/PCGEOS (network).
Can be any path, but the last element is typically PCGEOS. This is the directory where you installed the SDK.
Local Root
S:/PCGEOS/username , for example.
Where Swat stores .symdir files; also the head of its search for an engineer's own .sym files. For pmake to run properly the penultimate element of Local Root must have the same name as the last element of SDK Root . (It need not be the actual SDK Root directory, however.) The last element may be named anything, but user names are typically used.
Branch
N9000V20
 or other platform as appropriate. Leave blank if your development tree does not have platform branches.
Object Source
Installed
 Directory under SDKRoot/Branch heading the search for shared or SDK-supplied .sym files.
Tcl Directory
Tools/swat/lib.new
 Location of Swat's .tcl files under SDK Root .
Tcl Override Directory
Location of additional .tcl files; typically blank.
Swat Init file
Any init file you would like Swat to execute upon startup. Typically blank or C:/PCGEOS/SWAT.RC .
Fast Video
Checked
 NT GEOS video mode selector. Fast Video artificially reduces the number of screen updates used by NT GEOS; therefore, you will see less flicker and faster execution response than on the actual device. Disable this option if you are testing animations or assessing relative flicker rates.

The GEOS Setup window also includes a selector for the communication mode. Choose Local (NT native) to instruct Swat to attach to your NT GEOS window, or choose Remote (Serial) to instruct Swat to attach to an external device, with appropriate Speed and Port settings.

You may store and recall a number of different setups by using the Current Setup selector. The Setup names have no intrinsic meaning.
