3.2 Controls on the Home Page
The MX10C and MX40C series of transmitters can be fully controlled by using the resistive touchscreen display for all functions.
The screen is sensitive to the touch of a finger or a plastic stylus, and selections are made by tapping the on-screen button of
interest. In addition, the knob on the front panel can be used in place of the on-screen arrow buttons for quickly changing set-
point values. Pressing (clicking) the knob will confirm a new set-point value.
Figure 10 Home Screen Features
The Home screen (or dashboard) is organized into three main sections.
The left side contains the ON/OFF buttons for each of the main instrument functions. Tapping any of these buttons will toggle
the function on and off. The same ON/OFF functionality is also available on the individual Settings pages. The power buttons
turn green to indicate the function is ON, and turn red to indicate the function is disabled.
The central section is the main dashboard for reporting operational values of each section. Tapping the screen in this middle
area will take the user to the corresponding Settings page for each section. Note that the green dot in each of these sections
indicates the function is stable. A blinking green dot indicates the function is still stabilizing.
The right side of the screen provides access to the main utility functions of the box.
The screen shot below shows some of the common warning indicators on the HOME page. Some functions can be disabled
when the laser power is low. In this case, buttons may be disabled and warnings indicators may appear.
