Obtaining Serial No using PsionTeklogix SDK

This question is answered

I want to display the serial number of the EP10 using the PsionTeklogix.SystemPTX.SystemInformation.MachineUID function, however I have the following two issues:

1) It returns "RV2WJB221059-RV1WJB240883", the second serial number is the device but I am not sure what the first one is?

2) The serial number on the device reads RV1WJB240883PP, however the MachineUID method misses out "PP" at the end. Why is this? as MCC displays "PP" but the function does not

    1) It returns "RV2WJB221059-RV1WJB240883", the second serial number is the device but I am not sure what the first one is?

    The 1st number is the MLB Serial number (Main Logic Board)

    vvvv

    For your information, the (complete) Terminal Serial Number is stored into the device registry:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PsionTeklogix\SystemProperties\Device\Terminal\Terminal Serial Number]
    "Value" REG_SZ

    Kind regards,

  • Wahid,

    Additionally, let me bring to your attention that the « Serial Numbers: UUID, DEVICE_ID, and Psion specific numbers » demonstration solution illustrates how to programmatically retrieve the entire MLB Serial Number.

    E.g.
