Push Button Programming
Any of the buttons can be programmed to access any frequently used command.
Each button has a permanently fixed digital join number. Refer to the following
illustration for their assigned join numbers. A description for each button signal is
described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).

NOTE: Join numbers 16 and 17 are fixed for the two “trigger” keys, the
top-mounted push buttons on the TPS-6X. The left trigger key toggles power when
the unit is undocked and initiates Sleep mode when docked. In addition, when held
for five seconds, it initiates a touch screen reset. The right trigger key toggles screen
brightness, unless it is disabled with the on-screen button in the “BACKLIGHT
SETUP” menu (refer to “
BACKLIGHT” which starts on page 32).
While both of these join numbers can be programmed to perform other functions,
their main functions as outlined above are still in effect; each button performs both
its default and its newly programmed operation.
MultiByte International Characters
Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, for example,
English, French, German, Hebrew, Russian and Thai.
Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a
character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2
8
) in a font.
For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons
and indirect text on buttons. No touch screen firmware changes are required in either
case.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VT Pro-e and the actual string to be displayed
is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely single
byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they can not be compiled
correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, Chinese characters cannot be
interspersed with numbers. Enter Chinese characters or numbers in separate strings
or pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and then combine it with
Chinese characters in the same string.
