Touch Screen

CAUTION Do not apply any sharp or rigid object (no pens or pencils) to the touch

screen display surface.

The Menu panel touch screen allows direct interaction with menu controls
displayed on the screen. The screen is designed to work with a finger or
other soft object. The touch screen is sensitive to a single pressure location
only, so only one touch surface control can be adjusted at a time.

Soft Knobs

Knobs along the right side of the Menu panel can be used to dial in param-
eter values for functions displayed on the touch screen. When a knob is
active, the touch screen displays the parameter name and its current value
on a data pad (

Figure 95

). The parameter can be adjusted by turning the

knob, or the data pad can be touched to bring up a numeric keypad. On
some menus, a soft knob may be able to control parameters or scroll a list
located elsewhere on the screen. In these cases a line connects the soft knob
to the controlled screen area.

Menu Screen Organization and Components

Zodiak system menus are context sensitive. They display different infor-
mation and provide various types of controls depending on what area of
the system is involved. Menus are organized into categories of related con-
trols, which can be directly selected with touch buttons located at the
bottom of the screen. Some configuration menus have additional subcate-
gory selections available at the left edge of the menu.
