ApplicationsTab
From the applications tab you can launch the two mostly used Photon applications. The first icon it
for PTerm and the second is Helpviewer.
PTERM,SHELL,TERMINALWINDOW,COMMANDWINDOW
This is a QNX shell (pterm window) that will provide you with an interface to enter command
directly into the QNX system. When you enter a command in the QNX shell, what you see here is
exactly what you would see had you entered a command without starting Photon first. This shell can
also be used, as you will find out through out the M300 users guide, to launch applications and
QNX utilities.
The shell windows is also referred to as command window and terminal window.
