Active Digitizer mode on the Sahara NetSlate a510 is actually
quite similar to navigating with a mouse.
Touch Screen
The Sahara NetSlate a510 features two different touch panel
options to choose from. The first is a traditional, passive resistive
touch panel and the second is a projective, capacitive touch
screen that supports five finger multi-touch. This means that the
capacitive screen will register up to five simultaneous touches at
the same time, thus enabling the use of finger gestures such as
two-finger tapping, pinching, rotating and two-finger flicking to
initiate navigational and operational short-cuts.
The resistive panel recognizes only a single touch at a time,
but still supports certain gesture motions such as swiping and
flicking to aid in navigational operations. While not as sensitive
as the capacitive panel, it has the benefit of being more durable
and can be activated by pressure from any type of touch such as
a stylus pen, bare finger tip or heavily gloved hand. The capaci-
tive panel will only react to the touch of bare skin or, for medical
professionals, an elastic gloved hand.
With either type of touch screen, simply tap on the element
you wish to interact with in order to select it, or if the element
is a button, to activate it. Sliding your finger while touching the
screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were
using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In
other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag
operation.
Also, as the screen is sensitive to touch, resting your palm on
it while tapping with your finger may make the pointer react
unpredictably.
Tapping on the screen will perform a standard left mouse button
click. Tapping twice in succession is the same as double-clicking
your mouse button. Pressing and holding your finger tip on
