Operating the Touch Panel

Several of the FPC front panel operations require data entry, input and output selection, or
both. These operations are performed using an on-screen keyboard, on-screen keypads, or
on-screen scroll boxes.

Using the Keyboards

When you take a step that requires entering alphanumeric characters, an on-screen
keyboard appears (see figure 12).

Figure 12.

Typical On-screen Keyboard

Clear the field in which you need to enter data by touching the

key

or by repeatedly touching the

key.

Touch the correct characters on the keyboard just as you would on a physical keyboard.

The

and

keys are only used when editing

Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™) commands while programming User Function keys (see

Function Keys Screen

” on page 43). The keyboard does not display these keys for

other functions.

To enter capital letters or the alternate characters on the numeric keys, touch the
key

or key

. Either key locks the keyboard to capitals

only, just like the key on a physical keyboard. Touch the desired letter or
number keys and then touch the key again to return to lower case.

To enter the typed in characters and dismiss the on-screen keyboard, touch the
key.

To dismiss the on-screen keyboard without entering the typed in characters,
touch the key.
