Chapter 3 Windows CE.NET 

3.1 Introduction 

The NP-600S series operator interface terminal is designed to serve on the Windows 

CE platform. Windows CE .NET is the successor to Windows CE 3.0. Designed from 

the ground up for the embedded marketplace, Windows CE .NET delivers a robust 

real-time operating system for rapidly building the next generation of smart mobile 

and small footprint devices. With a complete operating system feature set and end-to-

end development environment, Windows CE .NET contains everything you need to 

create a custom Windows CE–based device that requires rich networking, hard real-

time, and a small footprint, as well as rich multimedia and Web browsing capabilities. 

 

3.2 Utilities 

There are several useful utilities built in the standard Windows CE OS of NP-600S: 

3.2.1 Soft-Keyboard 

The NP-600S is dedicated to the small-sized operator interface. It is often 

inconvenient for users to attach a keyboard to such small machine. Thus, a software 

keyboard is embedded in the standard Windows CE OS. Upon boot-up, a small 

keyboard icon will appear on the status bar. Tap this icon by the stylus to activate/hide 

this Soft-keyboard.
