Rockwell Automation 6182 Industrial Computer for the Windows CE Operating System - Manual (Page 63)

Windows CE Operating System 7–3
Publication 6182-UM001D-EN-P
discusses how to use Microsoft ActiveSync to install and remove
application programs on the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. Each
application program must be compiled for the MIPS RISC processor.
If the application program literature does not specifically identify the
RAC6182 Industrial Computer as a compatible hardware platform, take
caution if trying to install and run it on the RAC6182 platform. While
the program may operate on the MIPS processor, there could be conflicts
on the RAC6182 Industrial Computer. Testing is essential.
The Windows CE operating system provides a user interface very similar
to other Microsoft Windows operating systems. This user interface has
been simplified somewhat to reduce the memory footprint, so there are
some minor differences between a desktop Windows interface and the
Windows CE interface.
The RAC6182 Industrial Computer has a keypad and/or touchscreen for
operator input. In addition, an external keyboard and mouse can be
connected. The Windows CE graphical interface simplifies interaction
with the computer. You simply select and move objects on the screen by
tapping and dragging them using your finger or stylus on the
touchscreen, or using an external mouse.
Note: If you have difficulty selecting objects using the
touchscreen, run the calibration program described in
Chapter 11, Touchscreen Calibration.
Start Menu and Taskbar
The Start menu is used to run programs, configure settings, and open
recently-used documents. A single-click on the Start menu button on the
bottom left of the screen brings up the menu. Subsequent clicks select
the program or item you want to open. The key sequence Ctrl+Esc also
activates the Start menu.
