Section 3: Software
This Section 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 a 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
NOTICE
Run the Backup Utility after configuration changes to the operating system, 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.
