Introduction to the PanelView Plus CE Terminal 15

Touch Screen

An integral, resistive analog touch screen with a serial controller
provides mouse-like operator input. The touch screen is a factory
installed option.

Display Controller

The Intel 82810E integrates a powerful 64-bit graphics accelerator
engine for Bit Block Transfer (BitBLT), hardware cursor, and other
graphic intensive functions common to windowing environments.
Superior performance is achieved through a direct 32-bit interface to
the PCI-Local bus.

VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600) and XGA (1024 x 768) flat panel
screen resolutions at 8 bit indexed, 16 bits or 24 bits per pixel at 60hz
scan rates are supported.

Software Architecture

This section provides information on the PanelView Plus CE software.

Windows CE OS Overview

Windows CE.NET 4.1 with the latest service packs is the PanelView
Plus CE operating system.

The system software includes the following major components:

• Boot Loaders. The boot loaders consist of the Basic Boot Code

(BBC) and Extended Boot Code (EBC) and reside in the
firmware hub.

• Windows CE Kernel OS, CE Modules and device drivers with

custom adaptations and enhancements for the PanelView Plus
CE hardware and functional requirements. These components
reside in a binary partition on the internal CF card as a
compressed binary image. The Windows CE Kernel OS provides
a Default Registry. The CE modules include the Windows
Explorer desktop and shell and the Control Panel for configuring
the device.

• Persistent Windows CE Registry, containing information relative

to specific application configurations. This component resides in
a separate binary partition on the internal CF card. If the
Persistent Registry does not exist, then the Default Registry is
used.
