Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility Information
This hardware has been tested and found to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements and limits for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) as indicated in the hardware’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the hardware is operated in the intended
electromagnetic environment. In special cases, for example when either highly sensitive or noisy hardware is being used in close
proximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to minimize the potential for electromagnetic interference.
While this hardware is compliant with the applicable regulatory EMC requirements, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. To minimize the potential for the hardware to cause interference to radio and television
reception or to experience unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this hardware in strict accordance with the
instructions in the hardware documentation and the DoC
If this hardware does cause interference with licensed radio communications services or other nearby electronics, which can be
determined by turning the hardware off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•Reorient the antenna of the receiver (the device suffering interference).
•Relocate the transmitter (the device generating interference) with respect to the receiver.
•Plug the transmitter into a different outlet so that the transmitter and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
Some hardware may require the use of a metal, shielded enclosure (windowless version) to meet the EMC requirements for
special EMC environments such as, for marine use or in heavy industrial areas. Refer to the hardware’s user documentation and
the DoC
When the hardware is connected to a test object or to test leads, the system may become more sensitive to disturbances or may
cause interference in the local electromagnetic environment.
Operation of this hardware in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. Users are required to correct the
interference at their own expense or cease operation of the hardware.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the user’s right to operate the hardware
under the local regulatory rules.

Cleaning
If you need to clean the unit, use a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make sure that
the unit is completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to
service.
The TPC-22xx COM2 serial port is adjustable. You can set it to RS422 or
RS485, and it has auto data flow control capability. In other words, the
TPC-22xx can automatically detect the data flow direction at this port when
two-wired RS485 communication is activated.

Features in Windows XP
Embedded and Windows
Embedded Standard 7
The TPC-22xx supports the Windows XP Embedded platform (commonly
abbreviated XPe), which is a componentized version of the Windows XP
Professional edition, and Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7).
EWF and FBWF
Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) provides an upper filter in the storage device
driver stack that redirects disk write operations to volatile (RAM) or
nonvolatile (disk) storage. EWF protects a volume from write access and
offers the following benefits:
C
•Write-protects one or more partitions on your system.
•Enables read-only media, such as CD-ROM or flash, to boot and run.
•Prolongs the lifespan of write-sensitive storage, such as
CompactFlash.
File Based Write Filter (FBWF) also redirects disk write operations to
volatile (RAM) or nonvolatile (disk) storage. Where EWF protects entire
volumes from writes, FBWF protects only individual files and directories.
Although FBWF is not as robust as EWF, because EWF protects entire
volumes, it is very useful when you need to write to specific files and have
those changes persist between reboots.
You can enable and disable EWF and FBWF only between reboots.
To disable/enable EWF/FBWF in Windows XP Embedded, go to Start»All Programs»Utilities and select the EWF tab. The default setting is disabled
for both.
To disable/enable EWF/FBWF in Windows Embedded Standard 7
(WES7), search for Info Code
information.
Appendix CFeatures in Windows XP Embedded and Windows Embedded Standard 7
When EWF is enabled, the C: partition is protected from any disk writing.
In this mode, any changes on the
files or the registry) are redirected to memory. Thus, these changes are
discarded in the next system startup. You can enable this mode manually
after finishing all system changes such as installing your applications or
adjusting system settings.
C: partition (including modifications to
HORM
Hibernate Once, Resume Many (HORM) enables users to create a single
hibernation file and boot to that file repeatedly. Using HORM, you can boot
to a known state each time the system is powered on. HORM works only
when EWF is enabled on all system partitions. HORM does not work with
FBWF. Depending on the system state, HORM can reduce boot times.
To enable HORM in Windows XP Embedded, you first must enable EWF
as described in the EWF and FBWF section. Once enabled, return to the
EWF utility at Start»All Programs»Utilities»EWF. Select the HORM
tab and select HORM. This hibernates the system and creates the
hibernation file. After you perform this step, all subsequent reboots resume
from that hibernation file.

NoteYou can programmatically control EWF, FBWF, and HORM using VIs included
with the LabVIEW 2010 or later Touch Panel Module.
