Industrial Pointer, Keypads, Switches and LEDs
Introduction
XBT GK and XBT GH units contain several features in addition to the touch screen
panel. XBT GK units come with an industrial pointer device and keypads. They are
useful for environments where touch screen applications are inappropriate. For
example, operators who handle abbrasive or corrosive material may damage
displays due to the residue left on their fingers or gloves. The pointer and keypad
provide an alternate method of interacting with the units.
Industrial Pointer Device
The industrial pointer device moves a pointer on the panel. When the pointer is
positioned over an object, you can click the pointer button to interact with the object.
Clicking an object with the pointer has the same effect as touching it on the panel
with your finger. The pointer changes shape when positioned over an active object
or area.
All XBT GK units have 2 pointer buttons. They both have the same effect, so you
can use either one, for example, in the case of left-handed or right-handed
operators.
An operator can interact with the unit in one of four ways:
z Industrial Pointer Device only
z Touch-screen only
z Both
z Neither Touch-screen nor Industrial Pointer Device. Interaction with the unit is
only possible through the function keys.
You specify how an operator interacts with the unit in Vijeo Designer.
Keypads
Besides function keys (static and dynamic), XBT GK units come with an
alphanumeric keypad to facilitate operator input. The alphanumeric keypad consists
of two parts: the cursor keys and the alphanumeric keys.
