   </FileList>
   </ControlFile>

3. Create an XML file in the same directory with the name provided in the <File> element.
4. Add the following information to the XML file:
   Copy

   XML

   <EOMMetadataUpdate id="GenEOMData" description="This is auto-generated data from GenEOMData.">
   <DeviceClass ident="POS" productVersion="[Current Product Version]">

   <Name>[Touch Type Name]</Name>
   <Description>[Touch Type Description]</Description>
   </Item>
   </DeviceType>
   </DeviceClass>
   </EOMMetadataUpdate>

   The table below contains the descriptions of the values to be modified in the XML file.
