This chapter provides QuickPanel
+
software information and procedures to perform the
most common tasks.
3.1
Operating System
Note:
Refer to
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
•
Run the Backup Utility after configuration changes to the operating system, or after
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.

The custom utility Copy Project to SD Card transfers PAC Machine Edition View and Control
projects between compatible QuickPanel
