choice, the QuickPanel View 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 third-party application software makes this operating system
even more attractive.
The 6" QuickPanel View is an all-in-one microcomputer designed for maximum
flexibility. The design, based on an advanced Intel
together a high-resolution 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.

microprocessor, brings
The QuickPanel View is equipped with several memory types to satisfy even the
most demanding applications. A 32 MB section of DRAM is split between the
operating system, an object store, and application memory. A 32 MB section of
non-volatile FLASH memory, functioning as a virtual hard drive, 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,
ensuring your valuable data will never be lost, even during a power failure.
The many features of the QuickPanel View make it an obvious choice for a world
of applications. Your smart choice will provide reliable operation for years to
come.

Getting Started
GETTING STARTED
Basic Setup
Your 6" QuickPanel View is shipped ready for use after a few configuration steps.
To power up all you need to do is connect a DC power supply via the supplied
quick-connect plug. Depending on your application, you may also want to
connect and configure optional input devices (see page 25), communications ports
(see page 29) and expansion adapters (see page 39).
To connect a DC power supply
1. Using the three screw terminals shown in the following diagram, attach a 24VDC, 24W power supply to the plug
2. Insert the plug into the power supply socket and securely tighten the attaching screws.
Optional Ethernet Connection

QuickPanel View Unit Runtime Setup
To download an application to a QuickPanel View, you must set up a data link
between it and your development workstation. For more information, see
“Ethernet” (page 35) and look up “Downloading a Machine Edition Project” in the
Machine Edition online help.
Startup
When you first start up the QuickPanel View, a few configuration steps are
necessary.
Once power is applied, the QuickPanel View begins initializing. The first thing to
appear on the display is the splash screen.
2. To skip running any programs included in the StartUp folder, tap Don’t run StartUp programs.
The splash screen disappears automatically after about 5 seconds. The Windows
CE desktop then becomes visible.
3. Tap Start, point to Settings, then tap Control Panel.
4. In the Control Panel, double-tap Display to configure the LCD display (see page 20).
5. In the Control Panel, double-tap Stylus to configure the touch screen (see page 22).
6. In the Control Panel, double-tap Date and Time to configure the system clock (see page 46).
7. In the Control Panel, double-tap Network and Dial-up Connections to configure network settings (see
page 36).
8. On the desktop, double-tap Backup to save any new settings through a power cycle (see page 13).

Getting Started
Shutdown
There are no specific dangers associated with a power failure or other unplanned
shutdown of the QuickPanel View. In general, programs are retained in FLASH
memory and user data can be retained in battery-backed SRAM. Some operating
system settings are kept only with user intervention, so in order to carry out a
graceful shutdown of the QuickPanel View, we recommend you perform the
following procedure.
To shut down the QuickPanel View
1. Quit any programs that are running and wait for all file operations to complete.
2. To save new configuration settings or Windows desktop changes, double-tap Backup on the desktop (see
page 13) When backup is complete, tap OK. Unsaved changes are lost when power is removed.
3. Remove AC power from the 24VDC supply.
Panel Cutout
For enclosure mounting, cut an opening in the panel according to the following
specifications.
The unit will not fit through this cutout with a CF card inserted in the port, with any
cables connected, or with the power supply plug inserted in the socket. To secure

To mount the QuickPanel View in a panel
1. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel, then insert the unit into the panel cutout (without a CF
card in the CF port).
2. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings as shown below.
3. Firmly tighten the screws.
Notes:
■
The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs
(0.3-0.5 Nm)
■
For compliance to NEMA 4, 4x and 12 qualification, the unit must be mounted
in a comparably NEMA rated (IP56 or equivalent) panel or enclosure.
■
For compliance to ATEX agency qualification, the unit must be mounted in an
IP66 panel or enclosure.
■
Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the unit’s bezel. This gasket
prevents shock hazards and damage caused by liquids accidentally entering the
unit after installation. Also, limit the number of times you remove and reinstall
the unit. Too many installations may cause gasket “set” and degradation of the
seal. The mounting clips hold the unit in place by tension alone. No drilling is
required.

QuickPanel View Software
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 HMIs, 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 16 MB block of FLASH
memory and is copied to DRAM for execution. The operating system starts
automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.
For more on Windows CE visit www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/ce.
Working with Windows CE

screen, it can often be convenient to use keyboard shortcuts, such as those

To run the Backup program
Overview
QuickPanel View Software
Backup
Backup is a utility that saves any changes made to the Windows Registry or
Desktop. This utility is required because, unlike typical handheld Windows CE
platforms, the QuickPanel View is not battery powered. Specifically, the Backup
command does the following:
■
The Windows CE registry (including any control panel settings) is stored in
the Flash registry
■
Any changes (additions) made to the ‘Windows’ subtree of the file system
are stored in the user block of FLASH memory.
The Backup program should be run whenever configuration changes are made to
the operating system or installed applications, and prior to shutting down the
QuickPanel View.
To reboot the system
1. On the desktop, double-tap Backup.
The Backup dialog box appears.
2. Tap OK.
1. Run theBackup program to retain any changes.
2. Tap Start, point toPrograms, then the System folder, and tap Reboot .
A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Tap “Yes”
The operating system restarts.

Storage Manager
Use Storage Manager to repair or format lost or corrupted data volumes. Storage
Manager can repair data volumes existing either in Compact Flash (CF) or batterybacked SRAM (BBSRAM). Data volumes existing in the main flash file system of
the QuickPanel View may not be repaired by Storage Manager.
Storage Manager, accessed from the Control Panels folder, is a Microsoft product
for which on-line help is available.
System Information
System Information is a custom utility that displays a splash screen with the
following information:
■
Operating System version. For example, ‘Windows CE 4.10’.
■
Platform. Identifies the host hardware, its version and build number.
Tapping More Info on the splash screen opens the Advanced System Information
window, which provides information such as hardware version and serial number,
CPU type and specifications, etc. This information can be especially useful if you
are contacting GE Fanuc Support.
To run the System Information program
1. On the desktop, double-tap System Information.
The System Information splash screen appears.
2. Tap More Info to open the Advanced System Information window, or tap Close to continue.
Network information alone can be viewed by double-tapping the LAN icon
displayed on the taskbar for each connection.
