Capacitive Touchscreen
User Manual H12 / SCAMAX® 8x1 - Version 2019.12
4.2.
Operation Methods
The touchscreen on the H12 not only responds to tapping, as one would expect, but will also accept
swiping gestures.
For operation, only the finger or a specially designated operator pen should be used. Other objects,
e.g. ballpoint pen may scratch the surface of the touchscreen.
If one of these marks is displayed at the margin of the display area, by tapping on the marks or
by laterally wiping over the display area, you switch to the last or next mask of the same menu
level. If a mask or list is longer than the display area, the view can be moved by wiping upwards
and downwards.
To operate the software, besides unique keys, especially in the configuration menu, the following
special controls are available:
Fields that show a triangle with tip pointing downwards on the right side, open a drop-down
list upon tapping
(see Navigation Bar -
chapter
)
If a field has these three points on the right side, a submenu is called upon tapping, which
contains more related configuration objects.
If a menu bar has this mark box on the left side, the respective function can be activated by
tapping so.
Unlike in this round field, which is also displayed to the left of the menu bar. This is a option
field, which is used to select the desired option from a group of possibilities. There are at least
two option fields in the same group, whereby only one option field in the group can be selec-
ted.
A field with the adjacently shown appearance offers three
different control options. While tapping the plus or minus
key, change the associated value by 1, a tap in the green
or gray value range, reduces or increases them by 10. Tapping and lateral displacement of the slider
allows a dynamic change of the value.
4.2.1.
Input Fields
Upon tapping, such input fields, depending on the assigned function,
open either an aphanumerical keypad or a numerical field
(see below),
in individual cases even a path or file selection mask.
Unlike the numerical pad, the keypad contains in addition to the actual character keys and the input
field, in some cases a range to choose from the available variables and attributes in order to integrate
them in the input box. Whenever this is the case, we will add a note to this effect, in the respective
chapter.
Numerical values may accompanied by a display of
[mm]
, as the unit of length. You can change this
unit to
[inch]
(
and back again
), simply by tapping the currently displayed unit. This change will affect
the entire user interface and all values of this type will be converted accordingly.
