Removing Applications
Most Windows CE applications loaded on the
RAC6182 Industrial
Computer
should have an uninstall utility. Use the program’s
uninstall routine to remove it from the RAC6182. Failure to
properly uninstall an application program may affect the Windows
CE registry and cause unstable operation.
There are at least three methods to transfer files to and from the
RAC6182 Industrial Computer.
•
ActiveSync can be used to move files between the desktop PC and
the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. The files can be manually
dragged between the PC and the RAC6182 Mobile Devices folder or
its subfolders.
•
Some software applications may have proprietary file transfer
features. An application may support file transfers of the RAC6182
serial or network ports. Refer to the application’s user manual for
more information.
•
A flash memory card can be used to manually transfer files to and
from the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. When installed, a flash
memory card appears as a separate "drive" within the Windows CE
operating system environment. Files can be copied and moved
between the flash memory card and the RAC6182 DOC flash
memory.
The RAC6182 Industrial Computer is shipped with the Microsoft
Windows CE operating system preinstalled in the DOC flash memory.
Rockwell Automation will periodically distribute the RAC6182
Industrial Computer operating system upgrades as new features are
released. These upgrades are distributed on CD-ROM. Upgrade
procedures are on the CD-ROM.
Carefully read all documentation shipped with the RAC6182 Industrial
Computer operating system upgrade. This documentation will outline
any differences in the upgrade, and how installed application software
may be affected by the new Windows CE version. It is very important to
make sure all installed RAC6182 Industrial Computer applications are
compatible with the new operating system.
