PT-955LX / LXF User’s manual

Slitless/fanless design that reduces maintenance work

This product's spindleless design eliminates the heat dissipating slit and CPU fan and adopts CF card for
the storage. It is free from dusts and foreign objects, and the use the parts that degrades over the years is
avoided in most case, resulting in drastic alleviation of the maintenance burden.

High definition supported DVI external display output

This product has the up to 1920 x 1080 pixels DVI external display output as standard feature. A
stand-alone two-displays application which, for example, displays the screen on a big LCD TV separately
from the main LCD, can be built. Also, with the accompanying analog RGB (15 pin HD-SUB)
conversion adapter, connecting to an analog RGB display is supported.

Remote power management function to reduce operation tasks

This product supports timed/automated system start-up (Resume By Alarm).    For example, it enables
unattended operation, such as starting to show information of an establishment in unison at opening time.
Also, it supports system start-up externally via network (Wake On LAN) and modem (Power On by Ring).
It encourages significant labor saving in operation.

Major types of peripherals are supported with rich interfaces including the two CF card slots

It has a variety of extended interface such as 1000BASE-T x 2, USB2.0 x 4, serial (RS-232C) x 2.
It has 2 CF card slots that can use for OS and data. They are very useful because you can use one slot
for system start-up and the other for maintenance, system log, or taking away the collected data.

Falling-off prevention tools and cable clamps provided to avoid trouble caused by disconnected cable

This product stays trouble-free, being equipped with USB removal prevention fitting and cable clamp for
connectors with no locking mechanism, such as USB cable, and with hardware to properly mount and
avoid falling out of CF card.

Safety design required for embedded applications

Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out.
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model, it is possible to use the EWF*3 function of OS. It is
designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the CF
card with EWF function will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CF card and prevent an
unintentional system alteration.

EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows Embedded Standard that protects the disk from being actually written

redirecting the writing to RAM.

- A wide range of power supplies (10.8 - 31.2VDC) supported

As the product supports a wide range of power (10.8 - 31.2VDC), it can be used in a variety of power
environments. The separately available AC adapter adds support for 100VAC power.

- Touch panel enables keyboard-less operation.
These products have analog touch panel enabling mouse emulation using driver software.
