14 Touch Panel Basics ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels
You can download objects like buttons and drawings to a touch panel page. The
number of objects depends on the type and quantity of external devices you want to
control with the touch panel and AXCESS Control System. When you create multiple
pages, you must link them with buttons. Figure 9 shows how five touch panel pages
are linked to the Main page. Note that each page contains one button that goes to the
next page, and one that goes to the previous page.
Standard buttons types are rectangles, rectangle variations, and other geometric
shapes that you can create with the touch panel editor. Buttons are set with
attributes, which means there is feedback for the Central Controller when you touch
the button.
General Buttons General buttons are part of the mini-touch panel program and cannot be changed.
You use general buttons to specify panel communication parameters and create or
revise pages. Button examples include selection buttons, information buttons,
adjustment buttons, and operation bars. Each type of General button is described in
the following paragraphs.
