Designing Touch Panel Pages
Overview
These step-by-step instructions describe creating touch panel pages, buttons, joy-
sticks, bargraphs, and setting page color attributes. For in-depth information on all
the operations available on the touch panel, read through the ViewPoint Wireless
Touch Panels - Program Reference instruction manual to learn about all the operations
and techniques you can use to design touch panel pages.
The VPT-CP and VPT-GS ViewPoint one-way models do not support bargraphs, joy-
sticks, VGA, or video (video bargraphs and video joysticks). These functions are
available on the EDIT dropdown menus and can be setup. However, the functions
are not operational.
The VPN-CP and VPN-GS are two-way RF and support both bargraphs and joy-
sticks.
Activating the Edit button
Before designing a touch panel page, activate the EDIT button that contains options
to add and configure touch panels and buttons. When powering up the touch panel,
the first page is the Main page shown in Figure 23. Refer to the Edit button and Go to
subsections in the ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels - Program Reference instruction
manual if the Main page does not appear.
Note
These ViewPoints only pro-
vide one-way transmission
and therefore do not have the
two-way functionality neces-
sary to support these fea-
tures.
Note
If you have a pre-programmed
panel, you may not see the
Main page.
