Using the Touchscreen Software
Touch screens were created to provide operators with an easy to use interface.
They allow the user to input and view data without a keyboard or mouse. The
touch surface is able to detect contact for selecting options.
Most any object may be used on the touch-screens. Experimentation will quickly
show which objects will activate the screen and which will not. It is important to
note the touch surface does NOT use pressure to detect input. A light touch is all
that is needed. In addition sharp instruments (such as pencils, pens, screwdrivers,
etc.) should not be used as they may damage the touch surface.
The purpose of the touch screen is to provide the user with a single interface to the
instrument. Temperature control, instrument setup, and current test data are
accessed through the touch screen. This eliminates the need to individually
program separate temperature controllers or other off-site software to begin running
a test. Additionally, the touch screen allows the user to access current information
from the instrument during a test. Each instrument is complete and requires no
additional software or hardware to function.
The software is designed to be intuitive to the user. In addition to the options, the
different screens include directions and helpful hints to allow the user to quickly
setup and run the instrument. The first-timer will find an easy to follow path to set
up a test. Most users will become highly proficient within a very short time.
