Series 3500 Touchpanels
Description
Functional Description
The Series 3500 Touchpanels are 10.4 inch (26.4 cm) active matrix touchscreen
control panels for the CRESNET II remote control system (herein referred to as the
CRESNET II system). There are four Series 3500 configurations available. Two of
the four touchpanels offer a video window in addition to the 256 color display (255
color plus one video) and are commonly known as VideoTouch. The remaining two
touchpanels offer 256 color display and are commonly known as ColorTouch.
ColorTouch and VideoTouch are available in lectern-mount and adjustable tiltcase
configurations. Configuration selection is based on application requirements. Refer
to “Configuration Differences” on page 6 for a more detailed escription of each.
The purpose of a ColorTouch and VideoTouch Series 3500 unit is to replace hard-
wired panels in either a CRESNET II or an RS-232 based control system. The
touchpanel is capable of replacing large, complicated panels with a series of simpler
screens, each specific to the control problem at hand. Thus, very large numbers of
functions can be made available to the user without the confusion associated with
hardware panels of that complexity. Series 3500's icons, graphics, and text can
dramatically increase any user's comprehension of the control environment.
Devices, functions, and control zones are quickly organized and more easily
accessed. The Series 3500 Touchpanels offer:
•
256 color active matrix display
•
full color video window capability, NTSC or PAL, full or partial
screen (VideoTouch only)
•
pop-up sub panels to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance
•
multiple button, slider control, and icon configurations
•
up to 999 functions and 96 screens
•
imported photographs, drawings, and icons
•
support for downloadable fonts - proportional and non-proportional
