Designing Touch Panel Pages
12 Color Passive-Matrix LCD 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. 11). Note that
the Edit button is not available initially.
General Button Categories (Cont.)
Status buttons Status buttons always have a black fill with white 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 Batter level indicator button.
