Manually Configuring Short Message Service Options (Mobile Module)
 | Note You can use the SMS Configure VI to programmatically configure SMS options. |
You can manually configure the SMS options by editing LVSMSClient.ini, which is located in the \Program Files\National Instruments\labview\SMS directory on the Mobile target.
Complete the following steps to manually edit the LVSMSClient.ini file.
- Transfer LVSMSClient.ini from the Mobile target to the host computer.
- Edit LVSMSClient.ini on the host computer.
- Transfer LVSMSClient.ini from the host computer to the Mobile target.
Refer to your Mobile target documentation for more information about transferring files.
The format of the INI file is as follows:
StartupApp=\My Documents\PDA Apps\LVPocketPC.exe
NumMaxMsgs=50
DeleteFromInbox=TRUE
OverwriteMsgs=FALSE
| INI Token | Description |
|---|---|
| StartupApp | Specifies the path to the application that launches when there is an incoming SMS message. If you do not want an application to launch, use StartupApp=None. This token is equivalent to the launch self? input in the SMS Configure VI. |
| NumMaxMsgs | Specifies the maximum number of messages LVSMSClient.dat, which is the cache file on the target, can contain. The default is 50. This token is equivalent to the max number of cached messages input in the SMS Configure VI. |

| OverwriteMsgs | Indicates whether to overwrite the oldest message in LVSMSClient.dat, which is the cache file on the target, if the cache is full. Set this token to TRUE to overwrite the oldest message with an incoming message if the cache is full. The default is FALSE. This token is equivalent to the overwrite cached messages? input in the SMS Configure VI. |
