QuickPanel View Software
Windows CE.NET
Microsoft Windows CE.NET is the operating system for the QuickPanel View. It
is a full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface. This operating system is
finding widespread application in hand-held PCs and embedded HMI’s, such as
the QuickPanel View. From a user’s perspective, the familiar look and feel of
the Windows CE environment shortens the learning curve for those having
experience with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From the software
developer’s perspective, the CE environment is a subset of the WIN32
application programming interface, simplifying the porting of existing software
from other versions of Windows. The QuickPanel View operating system is
stored in a 10 MB block of FLASH memory and executes directly from flash.
The operating system also uses a small portion of RAM. The operating system
starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.
