3 Software
This chapter provides general information on the QuickPanel + software and procedures
for completing some of the most common tasks.
3.1 Operating System
Refer to http://windows.
microsoft.com .
Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is the operating system for the QuickPanel + . It
is a full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface. The QuickPanel + operating system is
stored in flash memory and copied to a block of DRAM for execution. The operating
system starts automatically following a powerup or reset of the QuickPanel
+
.
3.2 Backup Utility
Attention
Run the Backup Utility whenever you make
configuration changes to the operating system or
installed applications, and before shutting down the
QuickPanel
+ Operator Interface.
The Backup Utility saves the changes made to the Windows Registry or Desktop to Flash
Memory. This is required because the QuickPanel
+ is not battery powered. Specifically,
the Backup Utility achieves 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 sub-tree of the file system in
the user block of flash memory.
3.3 Storage Manager
Storage Manager, accessed
from the Control Panel folder,
is a Microsoft product for
which online help is available. 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 QuickPanel
+ may not be repaired by Storage Manager.
