Table 3-4 Buttons on Control Panel

The Touch Screen contains controls that vary depending on the active function.
There are several types of controls used by the touch screen, as illustrated below:
Figure 3-13 Touch screen of the System
A. Tabs: Each function that is active has a tab on the touch screen. Usually the function that
was most recently activated is the top tab. Pressing on any other tab will bring it to the top
and provide access to that function‟s controls.
B. Slider: Pressing on the top or bottom of a slider changes the control setting by one value.
Pressing anywhere on the control and dragging will continuously change the value.
C. Push button: This can either be an on/off control (like “Colorize”) or a one-shot control
that immediately performs an action (like “Auto”)
D. Radio Buttons: A collection of buttons where only one is active at any time. Activating
one will de-activate all others.
E. Folder: Controls can be grouped together into a folder. Pressing on the folder will open it
to access any of the controls in it.
F. TGC: The B-mode tab has a specialized control for TGC. Each slider can be dragged
horizontally and individually. Dragging vertically down across the sliders will set all
sliders.
G. Pages: When a tab has multiple pages of controls each page is represented by a dot at the
top of the page. The current page is indicated by a filled-in dot. You can move between
pages by dragging your finger horizontally across the dots. These dots do not appear when
there is only one page in the current tab.
