Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a QuickPanel View/Control, the most
advanced compact control computer available. The QuickPanel
View/Control is available in different configurations to suit your
requirements, either as a full-featured HMI, or as a combination of HMI and
controller for local and distributed control applications. Equally at home in a
networked environment or as a standalone unit, the QuickPanel
View/Control is the ideal solution for factory floor HMI and control.

Powered by Microsoft Windows CE.NET, today’s embedded control

operating system of choice, the QuickPanel View/Control provides a fast
track for application program development. The commonality with other
versions of Windows simplifies porting your existing program code. Another
benefit of Windows CE is the familiarity of the user interface, shortening the
learning curve for operators and developers alike. The availability of third­party application software makes this operating system even more
attractive.

The 15" QuickPanel View and QuickPanel Control are all-in-one
microcomputers designed for maximum flexibility. The design, based on an
advanced XScale microprocessor, brings together a high-resolution touch­screen operator interface with a variety of I/O options. With many standard
ports and expansion busses from which to choose, you can connect to most
industrial equipment.

The QuickPanel View/Control is equipped with several memory types to
satisfy even the most demanding applications. A 64 MB section of DRAM is
split between the operating system, an object store and application memory.
Functioning as a virtual hard drive, a 64 MB section of non-volatile FLASH
memory is divided between the operating system and persistent storage for
application programs. The retentive memory consists of 512 KB of
battery-backed SRAM for data storage, protecting your valuable data, even
during a power failure.

Shutdown

There are no specific dangers associated with a power failure or other
unplanned shutdown of the QuickPanel View/Control. In general, programs
are retained in FLASH memory and user data can be retained in battery­backed SRAM. Some operating system settings are retained only with user
intervention, so in order to carry out a graceful shutdown of the QuickPanel
View/Control, we recommend you perform the following procedure.

To shut down the QuickPanel View/Control

1. Quit any programs that are running and wait for all file operations to
complete.

2. If you have not changed operating system settings (e.g., brightness or
touch screen sensitivity) or do not want to save the changes, remove
AC power from the DC supply.

3. To save changes to operating system settings (e.g., brightness, touch
screen sensitivity), run Backup and then reboot the system. When

the Windows CE desktop reappears, remove AC power from the DC
supply.

QuickPanel View/Control Software

Windows CE.NET

Microsoft Windows CE.NET is the operating system for the QuickPanel
View/Control. 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 controllers, such as the QuickPanel View/Control. The familiar
look and feel of Windows CE shortens the learning curve for users having
experience with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From a 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/Control operating system is stored in a 16 MB block of
FLASH memory and copied to a block of DRAM for execution. The
operating system starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the
QuickPanel View/Control.
