4.1 Introduction
The TREK-725 is an embedded system using the Windows® CE 5.0 OS.
Windows® CE 5.0 is a compact OS that occupies less storage space and
system resources compared with other operating systems such as Win-
dows® NT or Windows® XP. By its modular nature, it is possible to
choose only those functions that are needed for a particular application.
This not only reduces the system resources required, but also reduces
start-up time. In the field of embedded applications, this is an appealing
feature because the impact of downtime is minimized.
Furthermore, the small storage space needed makes OS on solid-state
disk possible, which means higher robustness to harsh environments.
