Chapter 1 Overview
Windows CE Operating
System PanelView Plus 6 terminals run the Windows CE operating system (OS),
providing the foundational OS elements for the majority of user needs.
For users with more complex application requirements, some of the terminals
offer optional, extended features and file viewers.
Open versus Closed System The terminals can be configured to run an open or closed desktop environment:
• An open system launches the Windows Explorer desktop on startup. The
system is configurable via the control panel and supports Windows
operations.
• A closed system launches a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application
on startup and restricts access to the Windows Explorer desktop.
All terminals are shipped as closed systems restricting access to the desktop. The
first time you start the system, the terminal launches FactoryTalk View ME
Station Configuration mode. At this point, you can change the start-up option
and allow desktop access.
