4.2 TPC-1260 utilities

There are several useful utilities built in the standard Windows CE OS
of TPC-1260:

4.2.1

Soft-keyboard

The TPC-1260 is dedicated to the small-sized operator interface. To
keep security of the whole automation system the TPC-1260 does not
provide PS/2 ports that connect to external keyboards or mice. On the
other hand, a software keyboard is embedded in the standard TPC-
1260 OS. Upon boot-up, a small keyboard icon would appear on the
status bar. Tap this icon by the stylus to activate/hide this Soft-
keyboard.

Screen saver

From time to time it is unnecessary to turn on the TPC-1260 display all
the day. The TPC-1260 Windows CE OS provides a utility to turn off
theLCD and backlight, and thus elongates the display repair period.

When the system finishes boot-up a small icon “S” appears on the
status bar. Tap this icon by a stylus the setting window pops out.
