Windows CE .NET
The TPC-2006 is designed for Windows CE. Windows CE is a compact
operating system that occupies less storage space and uses fewer system
resources than other operating systems. Its modular nature allows you to
choose functions useful for a specific application. This reduces required
system resources and boot time. This feature is important in industrial
automation and operator interface terminals, because downtime is
minimized. Also, the small storage space required allows installation
on a reliable solid-state disk.
Note
The TPC-2006 includes the English version of Windows CE by default. Contact
National Instruments for local language support.
Note
The TPC-2006 supports Remote Desktop Connection in Windows CE, but the
maximum resolution supported is only 320
×
240.
TPC Utilities
Windows CE .NET on the TPC-2006 includes several useful utilities.
Soft Keyboard
The TPC-2006 is designed for small operator interfaces. Because it is
inconvenient to attach a keyboard to such a small device, Windows CE
.NET on the TPC-2006 includes a soft keyboard. On boot, a small keyboard
icon appears in the status bar. Tap this icon with the stylus to activate or
hide the soft keyboard.
TPC Configuration
The TPC-2006 includes an integrated utility to configure the basic device
settings. To access the utility, click the
TPC Configurator
icon on the
desktop. Navigate the configuration by tapping the four page tabs:
