The
CUWIN combines a graphic display and touch interface with a high
efficiency industrial controller.
It
is equipped with Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Embedded, a stable
operating system used in many industrial touchscreen applications.
Windows CE supports applications developed in Microsoft Visual Studio
2005 and other development tools able to create Windows CE ARM
executables. It can also run NSBasic scripts.
Developing
for the CUWIN is similar to normal PC program development; anyone
with previous PC programming experience can develop CUWIN
applications without difficulty. The CUWIN supports the .NET Compact
Framework (1.0, 2.0) which reduces development and testing time by
allowing the use of cross-platform .NET functions.
The
CUWIN can also operate in IntelliLCD Mode, which allows the CUWIN to
emulate an IntelliLCD as a drop-in replacement. Existing IntelliLCD
applications can upgrade to a CUWIN today, and not lose functionality
while the CUWIN native applications are developed.
The
CUWIN offers RS232, RS485, and Ethernet for external communication.
It can even browse web sites using the internal browser, which is
useful for displaying diagnostic data or even remote control panels
through a web interface.
Depending
on which CUWIN features you choose to access, it can be used for
anything fromit can be used for anything from a user interface panel
to the main controller for your automation equipment.

Development
Environment |
|
The
CUWIN can execute Windows CE applications developed with Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005. Developing for the CUWIN is similar to PC
development.
Managed
Code (.NET Compact Framework)
The
CUWIN supports code developed for the .NET Compact Framework.
Managed code can be generated in Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#, etc.
Native
Code
Application
performance can be increased by developing native code instead of
managed code. However, the .NET Compact Framework supplies a wide
range of useful functions, so native code may require more time to
develop. Developing native code requires installing the correct SDK
for the target hardware, in this case the CUWIN. Please refer to
chapter 4-4 for details regarding the installation of the correct SDK
for developing native code. Native code can be developed with tools
such as Embedded Visual C++ 4.0, Visual Studio 2005 C++ and Basic,
etc.
Note
- in order to develop the applications for CUWIN by EVC(Embedded
Visual C++) or Visual Studio 2005 C++ Tool, CUWIN SDK must be installed.

Device
Features |
|
Sound
The
CUWIN contains a built-in 0.8W speaker for mono sound. For stereo
sound, headphones or external speakers can be connected to the CUWIN
using the 3.5mm audio jack.
USB
Ports
The
CUWIN has one USB Host port and one USB Device port, both capable of
USB Low and Full speed operation.
The
USB Host port (rectangular USB A-style connector) can be used to
connect USB mice, keyboards, and Flash drives. Using more than one
USB device at a time will require the use of an external USB hub.
The
USB Device port (square USB B-style connector) is used to connect to
a desktop computer for device access over ActiveSync
SD
Flash Memory
The
CUWIN SD memory slot supports cards up to 2 Gigabytes in capacity.
SD Flash memory can be used in the following ways:
-
Application
storage; images, sounds, log files etc.,. for use with native
Windows CE programs or with the IntelliLCD-mode DrawImage, Sound,
FCreate and other commands.
- Custom
Truetype fonts. Additional fonts can be placed in a \Fonts directory
on the storage card. On the next reboot, the fonts will be recognized
automatically.
- Convenient
storage for large programs. The Auto-Run feature can execute a
program in an \AutoRun folder on the storage card.
Ethernet
The
CUWIN has one 10base-T RJ45 10/100M Ethernet port.
