External
Serialization
Program
(ESP)
Serializ.exe
is
used
to
illustrate
passing
parameters
to
the
ESP.
This
is
a
simple
program
that
can
be
used
to
generate
a
serial
number
for
each
device
that
programs
successfully.
It
directs
the
labeler
to
print
a
label
with
that
serial
number.
Some
of
the
parameter
options
that
you
can
pass
to
the
external
software
program
on
the
Program
command
line
include:
•
Serial
number's
address
in
the
device
•
Serial
number's
format
(decimal,
hex,
binary)
•
Length
(number
of
bytes)
•
Byte
order
of
high
and
low
bytes
•
Value
used
to
increment
each
serial
number
•
Format
of
the
serial
number
printed
on
the
label
(binary,
ASCII
decimal,
or
ASCII
hexadecimal)

Tasks
and
Kits
The
requirements
for
user-created
messages
are
described
below:
•
Message
file
must
be
an
ASCII
text
file.
Save
the
file
as
an
unformatted
text
file.
•
Message
file
must
be
called
tl.msg.
TaskLink
looks
for
a
file
with
this
name.
The
maximum
line
length
in
this
file
is
66
characters.
•
Each
message
number
must
begin
with
a
tilde
(~),
followed
by
four
digits
as
in
the
following
example:
0023.
The
tilde
and
four-digit
number
must
be
on
a
line
by
themselves.
The
message
that
will
be
displayed
includes
all
the
text
after
the
tilde
and
message
number,
and
before
the
next
tilde
in
the
file.
•
Spacing
and
formatting
is
maintained
(WYSIWYG)
unless
you
use
\b
(for
bold).
The
\b
does
not
appear
on
the
screen
and
all
characters
move
to
the
left
two
spaces
for
every
\b
in
the
line.
Creating
Task/Kit
Batch
Files
You
can
create
an
ASCII
batch
file
that
allows
you
to
run
any
combination
of
Tasks
and
Kits
in
the
order
defined
in
the
file.
TaskLink
reads
the
batch
file,
searches
the
current
Task
Database
file
(last
file
used)
for
the
Task/
Kit,
and
runs
it
using
the
normal
screens.
Each
line
in
the
batch
file
(unformatted
ASCII
text
file)
is
only
required
to
have
the
name
of
an
existing
Task
or
Kit.
A
sample
file
would
look
like
this:
If
an
optional
Task
Database
file
name
is
entered
before
the
Task/Kit
name
and
is
terminated
by
a
double
colon
TaskLink
looks
for
the
Task
in
the
specified
Database
file.
The
fourth
line
in
the
same
sample
file
below
directs
TaskLink
to
look
in
a
Database
file
called
Not_current_file
to
find
a
Kit
called
Second
kit
name.
Note:
Do
not
use
two
consecutive
colons
in
Task
or
Kit
names
if
you
plan
to
use
those
Tasks/Kits
in
batch
files.
To
run
a
batch
file
in
administrator
mode,
select
Tasks
from
the
Main
menu.
Choose
a
batch
file
from
the
list
displayed,
and
press
.
