Designing Touch Panel Pages
There are two ways to approach creating touch panel pages:
! TPDesign3 - Refer to the TPDesign3 Touch Panel Program (Version 3. 16 or higher)
Instruction Manual for more information.
! On-board editor
This document describes basic use of the on-board editor to create pages and buttons. Refer to the
G3 Firmware Design and Reference instruction manual for more detailed firmware information.
Buttons
Standard button types include rectangles and other geometric shapes you can create with the touch
panel editor. Buttons are set with attributes, meaning there is a response from the Central Controller
when you touch the button.
General buttons are part of the default touch panel program and cannot be changed. You use general
buttons to create or revise pages and specify panel communication parameters. Button examples
include selection buttons, information buttons, adjustment buttons, and operation bars. The general
button categories are described in the table below.
General Button Categories
Selection buttons Selection buttons appear on touch panel pages and set communica-
tion parameters.
Information buttons Information buttons contain serial numbers and firmware version
information. The properties of these buttons cannot be changed.
These buttons have a black fill and yellow text.
Adjustment buttons You can use the UP and DN buttons to set adjustment buttons. The
adjustment button example sets the baud rate for the connection
from the touch panel to the computer.
Keypad buttons The keypad button opens a keypad so you can enter a password or
value assignment. All keypad buttons are interactive except for the
entry display.
Decision buttons Decision buttons appear when an operation has two options and
requires verification before an action is performed.
