Multi Purpose Connector

Enable 12VDC power on Multi Purpose Connector COM4 pin 9 to power external 12V devices. Same power consumption and options as COM2.

Only COM1 should be used for connecting serial bar code scanners.

COM4 is enabled by default but can be de-selected if necessary.

Startup

Select optional ways to power up the Thor VX8:

•by touch panel tap or

•by applying power to the Thor VX8.

These options are disabled by default. If touch panel tap is selected, you have the possibility to set the tap duration before Thor VX8 start time. Default value is 1 second (1000 ms).

Shutdown

Select touch panel tap as an optional way to shutdown the Thor VX8. By default, this option is disabled. When enabled, you can set the tap duration before Thor VX8 shutdown time. Default value is 2 seconds (2000 ms).

Important! When this shutdown option is selected, firmware will issue a power button event. This means that a touch panel tap performs the same function as the power button. See the Advanced tab of the Power Options Properties in Windows Control Panel for power button configuration. The default value in a Thor VX8 Windows image is shutdown.

Defroster

Enable defroster (heated touch panel). This option is only relevant if the Thor VX8 is equipped with an optional heated touch panel. The default value is defroster enabled.

The defroster will turn off when the temperature goes above 40°C inside the Thor VX8 and turn on again below 39°C (default values).

Note: Before making any changes to the default values, remember that the temperature outside the Thor VX8 is typically 20°C lower than inside.

Audio

Enable the front speakers. If a louder maximum volume is needed, Enable audio boost will increase the volume by 5 db.

Apply Factory Settings

Clicking this button resets the values on all tabs to their factory default values after the Thor VX8 has been shutdown and restarted.
