Introduction
Overview
The AXR-WAVES Wireless AXlink Virtual Emulator Server (Figure 1) is a 2-way
Radio Frequency (RF) device employing spread spectrum communications. A single
AXR-WAVES can communicate with up to 16 wireless TiltScreen touch panels
equipped with WAV-PK or WAV-PKM Wireless Power Packs. The WAV-PK and
WAV-PKM are designed to enable 2-way wireless mobility of full-sized and minitouch panels, thus eliminating the need for permanent installation of a touch panel.
Refer to the ViewPoint Touch Panel Cleaning, Charging, and Battery Replacement
quick reference guide for more information on other products that use battery packs.
