15.1 System Information
The Mobile Devices SDK provides Psion-specific hardware and configuration information.
All information, that can be obtained using the System Properties applet on the GUI of your Psion
computer, can be obtained as a name/value pair by querying the Mobile Devices SDK.
15.2 Machine Type
The machine type is one of the following strings:
• Psion 7505 (Ikôn)
• Psion 7527C (Workabout Pro G2-C or Workabout Pro 3C)
• Psion 7527S (Workabout Pro G2-S or Workabout Pro 3S)
• Psion 7530
• Psion 7535
• Psion 8515
• Psion 8525
• Psion 8530
• Psion PX750 (NEO)
15.3 Model
This is listed on the GUI System Properties as Terminal Model. The Psion model is one of the
following strings:
• 7505 (Ikôn)
• 7527C (Workabout Pro G2-C or Workabout Pro 3C)
• 7527S (Workabout Pro G2-S or Workabout Pro 3S)
• 7530
• 7535
• 8515
• 8525
• 8530

15.4 Unique Machine Identifier
The Unique Machine Identifier (UID) is a null-terminated string. The string has the format:
• <hardware serial number>-<terminal serial number>
The hardware serial number is supplied by the board manufacturer. The terminal serial number is entered
during manufacture. Both are 12 bytes in length and are returned to the caller as a null terminated string
with a '-' separating the serial numbers.
The 753x computers have both serial number strings truncated to 10 digits to maintain compatibility with
earlier releases.
15.5 Psion Build Codes
Several system information calls return Psion software versions. On the following computers these are
referred to as build codes or date codes:
•753x
•8515
• 8525 / 8530
• Workabout Pro (7525)
• Workabout Pro G2 (7527)
• Workabout Pro3 (7527)
