This chapter provides QuickPanel
+
software information and procedures to perform the most common tasks.
3.1 Operating System
Note Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com .
The QuickPanel
+
operating system (OS), Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7, is a full 32-bit OS with graphical
user interface (GUI). It is stored in flash memory and copied to a block of DRAM for execution. The OS automatically
starts following QuickPanel
+
unit powerup or reset.
3.2 Backup Utility
Attention
Run the Backup Utility after configuration changes to the operating system
or installing applications, and before shutdown.
The QuickPanel
+
is not battery powered; therefore, a Backup Utility feature saves the changes made to the Windows
Registry or Desktop to Flash Memory. The Backup Utility achieves the following:
• Stores the Windows Embedded Compact 7 registry (including any control panel settings) in Flash memory
• Stores changes (or additions) made to the \Windows sub-tree of the file system in the user block of flash memory
3.3 Storage Manager
Note Storage Manager is accessed from the Control Panel folder. Online help is available.
Use Microsoft Storage Manager to repair or format lost or corrupted data volumes existing in the SD Card, battery-backed
SRAM (BBSRAM), or USB Flash Keys (thumb drives).
Note Data volumes existing in the main flash file system of the QuickPanel
+
may not be repaired by Storage Manager.
