  • Page 15: Operating System

    Operating system DataLab PC works with all operating systems compatible with standard PC architecture. User can choose whatever operating system he/she wants to use: • Windows CE.NET • Windows XP Embedded • Windows 2000 • Windows XP Professional Windows XP Embedded (XPe) Windows NT family of operating systems (including Windows 2000 and Windows XP) are traditionally linked with the PC architecture.
  • Page 16: Writing Data To Cf Card In Windows Xp Embedded

    For systems used for implementation into embedded solutions (Windows CE) there is no such problem, systems do not write on the disk during work and if they need to write some- thing, it is possible to create a virtual disk in RAM. Systems adapted for work in embedded applications (Windows NT/XP Embedded) are equipped with a so-called write filter, which is a component able to catch attempts to write to the hard disk and to prevent damaging the FLASH memory.
  • Page 17: Connector Placement

    Connector placement There is a standard ATX connector panel on one side of the DataLab PC. The power supply connectors and main switch, as well as CF slot, 12 V DC auxiliary output and possible RS- 485 interface connector are placed on the opposite side. ATX panel Connector placement on ATX panel depends on individual configuration.
  • Page 18: Power Supply Connector And Main Switch

    Power supply connector and main switch Depending on the power supply, the DataLab PC has either standard 230 V AC power plug or two-pole connector for DC power supply. Both power supply variants have main switch. Auxiliary 12 V DC power output Two-pole connector with 12 V DC auxiliary power output is available on the side of the DataLab PC computer.
  • Page 19: Communication Lines

    Communication lines Every DataLab PC is equipped with standard RS-232C serial line, USB ports and Ethernet interface. DataLab PC 800 and DataLab PC 600 contain 2 USB ports, DataLab PC 1200, DataLab PC 1000 and DataLab PC 610 offers 4 USB ports on ATX panel. DataLab PC 1200, DataLab PC 800, DataLab PC 610 and DataLab PC 600 can be also equipped with isolated RS-485 serial interface.
