Table4.1. Screen Resolutions and Recommended User Interface Scales
RecommendedScaleScreenResolution (H × V pixels)
50%640× 480
60%768× 576
70%896× 672
80%1024× 768
90%1152× 864
100%1280× 960
110%1408× 1056
120%1536× 1152
Scaling factors greaterthan 100% can be useful for displays with a very fine pixel pitch,
wherethe 100% scale results in text that is too small to easily read.
Plotter ControlHandle Scale
Selects a second scaling factor to be applied specifically to the signal processingplot
“handles,”which can otherwise become too small to be easily used at the smaller user
interface scale factors.
ValueController Type
These options affectencoder controls:
Encoder
A“rotational”cursormovement will be used to adjust encoder values. This is a natural
movementwith touch screens and is easy with a mouse; it is rather more difficult when
using a laptop touch pad.
Joystick
Moving the cursor horizontally or vertically,as if the encoder were a slider control, will
adjust encoder values. This is a natural movement with mice and touch pads; it is
somewhat unintuitive when using a touch screen.
Input Device Type
Onlyapplicable when Value Controller Type is Joystick. These options affectthe behavior
of the cursor after an encoder value is adjusted:
Mouse
When the encoder controlis released, the cursor remains at the point of release. This
is normal mouse behavior.
