6" Color Video Touch Panels
Activating Edit Mode
Before designing touch panel pages and buttons, you must activate Edit mode. Once activated, use
the
EDIT
button to enter Edit mode. This mode has options to add and configure touch panels and
buttons. When powering up the touch panel, the first page is the Main page (see FIG. 22). Note that
the Edit button is not available initially. If you have a pre-programmed panel, you may not see the
Main page.
To activate edit mode:
1.
Press
SETUP
in the Main page to open the Setup page (FIG. 23).
2.
Press
PROTECTED SETUP
to open the keypad.
3.
Enter 1988 (default password) in the keypad and press
ENTER
to open Protected Setup page. If
you press
ENTER
after typing an incorrect password, you are immediately returned to the
previous page.
General Button Categories (Cont.)
Status buttons
Status buttons always have a dark fill with light letters and have no
functionality except to display information.
Operation bars
Operation bars appear in the place of the Editor bar, after selecting a
button or page edit operation. The operation bar indicates which edit
function is currently active. When an edit operation is selected, it
remains active until you press EXIT.
Touch to Continue buttons
"Touch to Continue" buttons appear when an operation requires user
acknowledgement.
Joystick buttons
Joysticks are vertical and horizontal direction controllers for use with
pan and tilt camera controllers.
Bargraph buttons
Bargraph buttons display a dynamic bargraph (vertical or horizontal).
An example is the battery level indicator button.
