C-more 4” Micro-Graphic Panels Overview
Overview
C-more 4” Micro-Graphic panel is a full color, TFT
model that offers touch screen capability and customiz-
able graphics! The 4” panel mounts in a standard 1/4
DIN cutout.
In addition to the simple panel configuration
software, a very helpful feature is the built-in project
simulator. The project simulator allows you to view your
project on the PC screen as it would appear on the
panel and to test all your screens before downloading
the project to the panel. You can simulate your entire
project at any stage of development and even simulate
the function keys and keypad bezel.
Getting started
Installing the software and configuring the C-more 4”
Micro-Graphic panel is simple. You will need the
following to successfully connect and configure a
project for the panel:

mode when powered by the PC and the screen brightness is
diminished.
