Chapter 3 Windows CE.NET
3.1 Introduction
The MT-600 series operator interface terminal is designed to serve on the Windows
CE platform. Windows CE .NET is the successor to Windows CE 3.0. Designed from
the ground up for the embedded marketplace, Windows CE .NET delivers a robust
real-time operating system for rapidly building the next generation of smart mobile
and small footprint devices. With a complete operating system feature set and
end-to-end development environment, Windows CE .NET contains everything you
need to create a custom Windows CE–based device that requires rich networking,
hard real-time, and a small footprint, as well as rich multimedia and Web browsing
capabilities.
3.2 Utilities
There are several useful utilities built in the standard Windows CE OS of MT600:
3.2.1 Soft-Keyboard
The MT-606 is dedicated to the small-sized operator interface. It is often inconvenient
for users to attach a keyboard to such small machine. Thus, a software keyboard is
embedded in the standard Windows CE OS. Upon boot-up, a small keyboard icon will
appear on the status bar. Tap this icon by the stylus to activate/hide this Soft-keyboard.
