4.2 TPC-1260 utilities

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

4.2.1Soft-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.

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.
