4.1 Introduction
The TPC-1260 operator interface terminal is designed to serve on the Windows CE platform. The Windows CE is a compact operating system that occupies less storage space or system resources com- pared with other operating systems. By its modular nature, it is possible to choose those functions that are useful for specific applica- tion. Not only reducing the system resources required, it also reduces start-up time. In the field of industrial automation or for operator interface terminal, this is an appealing feature because the impact of downtime would be minimized. Furthermore, the small storage space it needs makes operating system on solid-state disk possible.
