Software
VisionTools™ for Windows (VTW), a design and programming Windows™-based
software, permits the creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating
two and three-dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages which make up a
project can be designed for each Series 3500 Touchpanel application. Each page
contains objects such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional
buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the
CRESNET II system. The project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed
into the flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set
is uploaded from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the rack or panel
except during reprogramming. For additional software information, consult the help
file available on the VTW installation disks.
Position Lock Button
The position lock button is centrally located at the front of the base on Series 3500
adjustable tiltcase touchpanels. These touchpanels permit incremental angle
positions indicated by audible clicks. Range of motion is adjustable for user comfort
and can vary from zero inclination to 70 degrees from horizontal. Thus the user can
position the touchscreen to a comfortable angle, just as a microphone can be
repositioned for each speaker. The comfortable angle is herein referred to as user
position. The position lock guarantees that once a user position is established or
locked, the angle will not degrade from repeated presses on the touchscreen.
The touchscreen is free to move up from the horizontal to an incremental angle.
Grasp the touchscreen with a hand at each side and gently tilt up to a comfortable
position. To activate position lock, slightly reverse the motion until the touchpanel
stops moving. Correct hand placement is shown below. The touchscreen is now set
into user position.
Hand Position for Tilting Touchpanel to Vertical
Once in user position, position lock is activated which means the touchscreen can
not be forced to the horizontal position without depressing the position lock button.
The touchscreen is still free to tilt up; a new user position is established at each
increment or audible click.
The position lock button needs to be depressed before the touchscreen can be
returned to the horizontal position. To depress the button, slightly position the
touchscreen in the vertical direction with two hands, avoiding any tilting. The
