Accessing SetRAM
1. On the Power Tools Main Window (see page 1-2), tap the SetRAM icon . The SetRAM window
displays the current memory distribution.
2. To change the memory allocation, use the slider to adjust the memory allocation:
File MB=File Storage Memory
Prog MB=Program Memory
3. Tap Set RAM Allocation to make the change.
4. The terminal launches a hard reset, then a soft reset.
This reset process launches AutoInstall, which launches DeviceConfig’s RAM memory allocation
settings. Therefore, make sure that the RAM section is disabled in DeviceConfig.exm or that it
contains the same memory settings as SetRAM. For more information, see RAM Memory Allocation
in DeviceConfig on page 11-2.
RAM Memory Allocation in DeviceConfig
DeviceConfig contains a RAM section (see page 3-10) that–if enabled–sets the RAM memory allocation
for the terminal during startup. Dolphin terminals default to the RAM allocation in DeviceConfig.
Therefore, if you want the changes you make in SetRAM to persist through hard resets, make sure that
the RAM section in DeviceConfig disabled or, if enabled, matches the parameters in SetRAM.
For more information about DeviceConfig, see RAM Section on page 3-10.
