Chapter 3 Qui Software
Chapter 3. Qui Software
This chapter provides introductory information on the Qui software with procedures
for completing some of the most common tasks you will encounter.
3.1 Operating System
Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is the operating system for the Qui. It is a
full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface.
The Qui operating system is stored in flash memory and copied to a block of DRAM
for execution. The operating system starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the
Qui.
For detailed information about using the operating system, refer to
http://windows.microsoft.com .
3.2 Backup Utility
Backup saves changes that you make to the Windows Registry or Desktop to Flash memory.
This utility is required because the Qui is not battery powered. Specifically, Backup
does the following:
■
Stores the Windows Embedded Compact 7 registry (including any control panel
settings) in Flash memory.
■ Stores any changes (or additions) made to the ‘\Windows’ subtree of the file system
in the user block of flash memory.
Run Backup whenever you make configuration changes to the operating system or
installed applications, and before shutting down the Qui.
3.3 Storage Manager
Use Storage Manager to repair or format lost or corrupted data volumes. Storage Manager
can repair data volumes existing either in SD Card, battery-backed SRAM (BBSRAM), or
USB Flash Keys (thumb drives). Data volumes existing in the main flash file system of the
Qui may not be repaired by Storage Manager.
Storage Manager, accessed from the Control Panel folder, is a Microsoft product for which
on-line help is available.
