Chapter 4 4 Windows CE Sections include: TPC Utilities Networking Application Program Development
4.1 Windows CE The TPC-31/61 operator interface terminals are designed for Windows CE. Windows CE is a compact operating system that occupies less storage space and use less system resources compared with other operating systems. By its modular nature, it is possible to choose the functions that are useful for a specific application. This not only reduced the system resources required, it also reduces start-up time.
There are several utilities built into Windows CE in the TPC series. 4.2.1 Soft-Keyboard The TPC-31/61 series also has a small-sized operator interface. Since it is not convenient to attach a keyboard to such a small device, a software keyboard is built into the standard Windows CE OS. Upon boot-up, a small keyboard icon will appear on the status bar. Tap this icon with the stylus to activate/hide this Soft-keyboard. Chapter 4 4.2 TPC Utilities Windows CE Figure 4.2 Soft-Keyboard 4.2.
General Page This page displays the basic system information. There are two main parts: system and memory. The system shows the OS image version and CPU type. The second part includes total capacity, usage and currently available capacity of the disk and the memory. Figure 4.4 General Network This page shows information about the active network adapter. You can select the network adapter from the combo box as shown in Figure 4.5.
Windows CE Figure 4.6 Advanced Network Watchdog Watchdog is a function to let the device automatically reset if a program does not respond in time. This prevents system crashes and hangs to stop your critical applications, as the watchdog will automatically restart the machine when required. Set the response time through the combo box as shown below. The timer is the period that the watchdog will wait for a response. Figure 4.
Misc There are several functions provided in the Misc page as shown in the figure below. Figure 4.8 Misc Page Startup Programs: You can easily set the startup programs without editing. The programs listed in the combo box will be automatically executed after the system has successfully booted. Click the “Add” button to insert a file to the startup. If you would like to remove the file from the startup or the combo box, please click “Delete”.
It is not allowed to backup and restore over different image versions. Figure 4.10 Registry Saving Success Figure 4.11 Registry Editor Web Server Root: Input the root path of the web server here. The root path will only be effective after the machine has been rebooted. FTP Server Root: Input the root path of the ftp server here. The root path will only be effective after the machine has been rebooted.
4.2.3 Advantech Tools There are several useful tools in the Advantech program. Go to “Start” -> “Programs” -> “Advantech” to run the tools as shown in Figure 4.12. The tools include “ActiveSync”, “Registry Editor”, “Registry Saver”, “DiagAnywhere”, “NotepadPlus”, “System Font Setting” and “TPC Version Information”.

Appendix A Watchdog Timer Programming A
There is a built-in watchdog timer in the TPC-31/61 series. You can access it through the WIN32 API. TPC-31/61 panel computers provide a WDT driver to allow users to enable/disable the Watchdog timer. The driver name is “WDT1:”. Programmers must open this driver before using the resources. Then programmers can use Device IO Control functions to enable/disable Watchdog timer. The introduction below includes the Device IO Control, the definition of the parameter and an example. A.
lpOverlapped [in] Ignored; set to NULL. Return Values Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. A.2 How to Use the Control Code There are 6 control codes for the operation codes in the WDT driver. A.2.1 IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE: Enables the Watchdog timer on your application.
A.2.5 IOCTL_WDT_SETTIMEOUT: Sets the Watchdog time setting. lpInBuffer : The DWORD pointer to your Watchdog time setting. The Watchdog time setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5 seconds, 2 means 10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, others means 40 seconds. The default setting is 5 seconds. nInBufferSize:.unused. lpOutBuffer: unused. nOutBufferSize: unused. A.2.
} DWORD dwTemp; DWORD nIndex=2; // Set the Watchdog Timer as 10 seconds. Number 2 means 10 seconds.
