Adding Fonts
The Font Selection dialog may be accessed via the
menu items “Resources” sub-item “Fonts”. This
launches a dialog for importing existent fonts for use
in the TekTouchPad system. If the font desired is
located in the ProgramData/TEKVOX/TekTouchPad/
Fonts directory, it will show up in the selection list for
import. Fonts are then imported by selecting the
desired font in the upper list, and
clicking “Add” on
the lower list. This action will assign a unique ID
number to the font file name allowing for versions of
the same font. Any imported fonts may also be
removed by selecting an imported font in the list and
clicking “Delete”. Fonts outside of the program data
directory may be selected by using the “Browse”
button to select them. Refer to Appendix B for the list
of system supplied fonts, and methods to import
additional fonts.
Updating the Firmware
Occasionally there is a need to upgrade the main firmware of the unit. Before starting the
process get the latest firmware by selecting “Get Updates” in the Option menu. You must have
an internet connection.
Before sending the new firmware it is best to make
certain you have the correct serial port settings and
wire connections made by getting the ROM version
by pressing the “Get Version” button. If the ROM version is not returned and the Time Out
message is displayed, you need to check for the correct Com Port and connections. From the
PC the RS-232 cable requires a Null Female to Female cable. If you are not certain the ROM in
the TekTouchPad is not the latest, go ahead and updated the ROM by pressing “ROM Update”.
When using a USB to serial, it is necessary to determine the correct Com port. This can be
found in Device Manager under ports.
