Two grids are available for sizing and aligning objects:
•
Touch grid (available only on touch screen terminals)
•
Screen grid
Touch Grid
Touch screen terminals use a touch grid to align control objects (push
button controls, screen buttons, keypad enable button) with the touch
cells. Push button objects are moved and sized in increments of
touch cells. The default push button occupies 4 (2 x 2) touch cells
but can be sized differently.
The touch grid is present in every screen but isn’t visible unless
turned on.
The touch grid does not control the placement of graphics or display
objects; they can be placed anywhere on the screen. Use the screen
grid to align graphics and displays.
To show the touch grid:
Choose Touch Grid from the Align menu.
A check mark ( n ) appears next to Touch Grid when it’s active.
Choosing Touch Grid again hides the grid.
On PanelView 900/1000/1400 Touch Screen terminals, the touch
grid has 384 (24 x 16) touch cells. On PanelView 550/600 Touch
Screen & Keypad terminals, the touch grid has 128 (16 x 8) touch
cells.
