Keysight M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller Startup Guide 22
Controller Operating System
Controller Operating System
Your M9037A comes with the Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7)
32-bit or 64-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 M9037A 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 for Windows Automatic Updates is turned off. If you
want it turned on, you need to manually update your Windows OS by accessing
Internet Explorer and from the Tools menu, select Windows Update.
User data backup
All user data should be regularly backed up to an external memory device. This
can be done across a network or to a USB device. Your IT department may
already have a backup strategy which is suitable for the system and data. Also,
user data back up should be done just prior to sending the controller back to
Keysight for service.
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.
