Your ARMOR X10gx has a dual display that includes both an active pen screen and a touch
screen. When you first receive your X10gx, both screens are enabled, so regardless what type
of screen you’re familiar with, you can go right to work.
Operating the X10gx Display
Refer to
for instructions on setting the display brightness and for other
display options.
In dual mode, the touch screen is initially active by default and the pen screen is disabled. You
can operate the touch screen with a fingertip or an inert stylus just like any other touch screen.
Dual Screen Mode
However, as soon as you move an active pen (like the one that comes with your X10gx) within
approximately 1 cm of the screen surface, the touch screen will turn off and the pen screen
digitizer will turn on. Now you are in pen screen mode, and will remain so until you lift the pen
more than 1 cm from the screen. At that time, the display will quickly change back to touch
screen mode. This switching action is completely automatic and you will not notice any effects
from it.
Currently, the option to operate in touch screen only mode or pen screen only mode is not
available but will be implemented in the future.
Single Screen Mode
When the pen screen is active, you can steer the cursor and perform many functions by simply
hovering close to the screen without actually touching it. Other functions are initiated by
pressing the tip to the screen surface to activate the tip switch or by pressing the side button
switch (see
Working with the Pen Screen
The pen that comes with your X10gx (
Your X10gx Pen
Figure 18) is stored in the tablet’s carrying handle and
has circuitry that interacts with the digitizer assembly built into the pen screen. The digitizer
detects the pen tip close to the screen and activates certain functions like steering the cursor or
performing a right click action if the pen is allowed to hover for a few seconds. Pressing the tip
to the screen activates a tip switch that performs a left-click action.
The pen also has a side button that can be programmed for a number of different functions. It’s
default function is right-click.
