Software
This section gives a short description to some of the software supplied with the CC
Pilot™ XS.
Operating System
The CC Pilot™ XS is supplied with the Windows CE operating system and this manual
provides the basics how to get started with basic operations and configurations.
Windows CE resembles and behaves a lot like Microsoft’s Windows operating system
for the personal computer. But there are fundamental differences. Windows CE is built
up in another way and is intended for other types of units than the PC platform. This
means, among other things that programs intended for a PC running windows won’t
work on Windows CE.
There are several versions of Windows CE and for several different processor families.
In order for third party products to function on the CC Pilot™ XS, the application must
be built for XScale, or alternatively, ARM processors as well as be built for the version
of operating system which the unit is equipped with.
The CC Pilot™ XS offers a multitude of connection alternatives, for instance via, USB.
In order for the device connected to CC Pilot™ XS to function correctly, sometimes
drivers must be installed. CC Systems AB can only guarantee the function for
applications and devices which are tested and approved by CC Systems AB.
