Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines
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)1. These requirements and limits are 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
1
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
1
industrial areas. Refer to the hardware’s user documentation and the DoC
for product
installation requirements.
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.
NoticeTo ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product with only
shielded cables and accessories connected to USB and COM ports.
NoticeTo ensure the specified EMC performance, the length of cables connected
to USB and COM ports must be no longer that 3 m (10 ft.).

The TPC-2230 COM2 serial port is adjustable. You can set it to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485,
and it has auto data flow control capability. In other words, the TPC-2230 can automatically
detect the data flow direction at this port when two-wired RS485 communication is activated.
The following figure and table show the COM2 pinout and settings.
The TPC-2230 supports 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:
•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 CFast.
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 Embedded Standard 7 (WES7), search for Info Code
ewftpc on ni.com/info for more information.
When EWF is enabled, the C: partition is protected from any disk writing. In this mode, any
changes on the C: partition (including modifications to 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.
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 is in Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7), search for Info Code
on ni.com/info for more information.
NoteYou can programmatically control EWF, FBWF, and HORM using VIs
included with the LabVIEW 2010 or later Touch Panel Module.
