Overview
Software Configuration Utilities
The National Instruments TPC-2012 touch panel computer features a 12.1 in. The TPC-2012 runs the Windows CE.NET OS and comes with configuration
high-quality SVGA LCD touch screen with 800 x 600 resolution. The
NI TPC-2012 offers a 500 MHz AMD GX3 processor and 256 MB DDR
SDRAM, providing a powerful processor for human machine interface
(HMI) graphics and shared variable communication. The system comes
with Windows CE installed on a 128 MB CompactFlash storage card.
The built-in 10/100 Ethernet port offers TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/IP
communication using NI LabVIEW shared variables, TCP/IP VIs, or the
Modbus LabVIEW library. The two USB ports provide connectivity for
external memory, keyboard, and mouse.
and remote access utilities installed. These utilities include an IP address
configurator, configuration for FTP and other utilities over a Web server,
and Remote Display, which works in conjunction with the Windows CE
Remote Display Host application, so you can remotely control the TPC-2012
from a host PC STE.

The TPC-2012 works with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and
includes one Touch Panel Deployment license. LabVIEW offers an
integrated graphical development environment for creating embedded
programs for real-time hardware using the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module. Or you can download code directly to FPGAs using the
LabVIEW FPGA Module and then easily add an on-machine or local HMI
with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and a Windows CE touch panel
computer. You can easily add Windows CE targets such as the TPC-2012
