4.1 Introduction
The Arpex-1600/1601 operator interface terminal is designed to serve the Windows CE platform. Windows CE is a compact operating system that occupies less storage space and system resources compared with most operating systems. With its modular nature, it is possible to choose only the functions that are useful for specific applications. This not only reduces the system resources required, but also reduces start-up time. In the field of industrial automation and operator interface terminals, this is an appealing feature because the impact of downtime is minimized.
