Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller Startup Guide 25
Controller Operating System
Controller Operating System
Your M9036A comes with the Windows operating system of your choice of either
Microsoft Windows 7 32-Bit or 64-Bit, WES 7 32-bit or 64-bit, or Windows XP
32-bit Operating System preinstalled along with the latest version of Keysight's
IO Libraries Suite (version 16.3 or later). This section provides some general
system configuration and preventative maintenance procedures that you, the
customer, are responsible for. In general, the M9036A operates as any other PC,
including remote desktop access.
Windows security
If your system is connected to the internet, you should take the following steps to
ensure the operating system is protected:
- Use an internet fire wall
- Get the latest Microsoft Windows updates
- Install and use up-to-date antivirus software.
To check the status of, or make changes to the security settings for your
controller, open the Windows Security Center (Start > Control Panel >
System & Security).
The default system setting is Windows Automatic Updates is turned off. You
need to manually update Windows OS by accessing Internet Explorer and from
the Tools menu, select Windows Update.
Downloading and installing Windows Updates can be network
and CPU intensive (impacting system performance) and some
Windows Updates automatically reboot the controller. Therefore,
Windows Updates should be performed when the system is not in
normal use.
There is no antivirus or spy ware software included with your
controller. Antivirus application software is the customer's
responsibility. Having antivirus software installed may have a
slight impact on system performance if your system uses
intensive network data transfer.
