Descriptor Tool, Version 2.4 The major changes to 2.4 are: 1) Fixed monitor enumerated values.

Needed to have usage 1 display "Enum 0". Added REPEATING0 option to .UPG files to fix this. 2) Added a title bar to the Usage Page Dialog box. 3) Fixed incorrect Extended Usages during inital insertion. 4) Added concatonation of Ordinal Instance value to Usages in collection immediately following Ordinal declaration. 5) Fixed display of Extended Usages when No Data option is selected. 6) Added support for Vendor Defined Usage Tables. The major changes to Version 2.3 are: 1) added sizable window The major changes to 2.0 are: 1) Incorporated the HID syntax checker from HIDview. 2) The Usage Pages are all ASCII files that can be modified by the user. 3) Extended Usages are supported. 4) Added cut and paste. 5) Report Descriptors files can be saved as .HID, .TXT, .INC, and .H. Only .HID can be read. 6) Included examples from the HID spec. and the Usage Table document. 7) Fixed numerous bugs.

/************************************************************************ Instructions: DT.INI must reside in the same directory as DT.EXE. Usage pages can be added or modified. To add a Usage Page create a text .UPG file as described below then add an Usage Page (UPn) entry to DT.INI. NOTE: When saving a file in a format other than .HID be sure to change the extension otherwise the .HID file will be overwritten. **************************** WARNING *************************** The usages pages (.UPG files) from the 9.0 Release Candidate USB HID Usage Tables document are included here. These pages are included for convienence and may change in the final release of the document. **************************** WARNING ***************************

/************************************************************************ HID Spec issues: 1) Vendor defined Collection IDs are not supported by DT. 2) Extended Usages are 32-bit usages where the high order 16-bits are the Usage Page ID and the low order 16-bits are the Usage ID. These are useful when usages from different Usage Pages are required for the same Main Item. Memphis supports extended usages. Extended Usages are not defined in the HID 1.0 Specification. 3) Extended usage values for Usage Minimum and Maximum (32 bit parameters) are also supported by DT. Memphis supports this too. 4) Memphis has the following restrictions on delimiters: - Do not use delimiters for usages associated with top level (application) collections. - Only Usages are supported in delimiters. Usage Min, Usage Max, Designators and Strings are NOT allowed in a delimited set. - Delimiters are not allowed when defining usages associated with an Array. 5) The checker (Parse Descriptor) does not support: -- Push and Pop - False errors will be reported due to state variables that are not saved and restored. -- Extended Usages - The checker will report extended usages as "undefined" because it does not break the 32-bit value into Usage and Usage Page.

UP<Count - 1>=... UPn, where n increments from 0 to the number of pages declared - 1 Notes: The .INI file must be in the same directory as DT.EXE. The Usage Page ID is in decimal. The Usage Page Name must be identical to that found in the .UPG file. The .UPG File Name can include a path. ************************************************************************* .UPG format

There are 2 types of .UPG files: NORMAL and REPEATING. NORMAL .UPG files <Usage Page Name> <.UPG File Type Flag: NORMAL> <Usage ID><tab ('\t')><Usage Name> or ; Comment if ';' is first character of a line (ignored) or <Usage ID-Usage ID><tab><Reserved of reserved> (ignored) Notes: The Usage Page Name must be identical to the Usage Page Name referred to in the .INI file to be recognized as a .UPG file. No blank lines can be in the file. The Usage ID is in hexidecimal with NO "0x" notation preceeding it or "h" following it. There are three forms that can follow the File Type Flag: 1) The Usage ID, followed by a tab character, followed by the Usage Name Spaces are allowed in Usage names. 2) Any line with a semi-colon as the first character is considered a comment and ignored. 3) Any line that has "Reserved" of "reserved" as the Usage Name will be considered a comment and ignored. 4) Comments are only allowed after the UPG File Type Flag. Example: Generic NORMAL 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08-2F 30 ... 81 82 83-FFFF Desktop Undefined Pointer Mouse Reserved Joystick Game Pad Keyboard Keypad Reserved X System Power System Sleep Reserved

REPEATING .UPG files <Usage Page Name> <.UPG File Type Flag: REPEATING> 00<tab ('\t')><first Usage Name> 01<tab ('\t')><repeated Usage Name> ; Comment if ';' is first character of a line (ignored) Notes: The Usage Page Name must be identical to the Usage Page Name referred to in the .INI file to be recognized as a .UPG file.

No blank lines can be in the file. Only 2 usages are declared. The Usage Name of the first entry (00) will be used for the first usage and the Usage Name of the second entry will be repeated followed by <space><Usage ID>. There are three forms that can follow the File Type Flag: 1) The Usage ID, followed by a tab character, followed by the Usage Name Spaces are allowed in Usage names. 2) Any line with a semi-colon as the first character is considered a comment and ignored. 3) Any line that has "Reserved" of "reserved" as the Usage Name will be considered a comment and ignored. 4) Comments are only allowed after the UPG File Type Flag. Example: Button REPEATING 00 Unused 01 Button Results in the usages: Unused Button 1 Button 2 Button 3 ...
