3.2.3 Display with Touch Screen

GN series touch panels include a TFT display (see page 44) with corresponding resistive
touch screen (glass-glass technology). A stylus is supplied for touch screen operation.

The surface of the display is also mechanically protected by the touch screen. The touch
screen (USB connected) registers contacts of a finger or a pen and allows you to move the
mouse pointer. This works only if the necessary software is installed. You receive the touch
screen driver for your operating system installed on your system.



NOTE

• Do not use a hard or a pointed object (like screw drivers) to operate the
touch screen because this can damage the touch screen surface.

• The front panel (GN10/GN12/GN15) and the touch screen are covered by a
plastic overlay. Be careful when cleaning the plastic overlay (see page 22).

3.2.4 Calibrating the Touch Screen

Calibration serves two purposes:

• Sets the active area of the touch screen.

• Aligns the active area of the touch screen to the screen's image.



Calibration aligns the active touch-sensitive area of the touch screen with the image on the
display. Calibration also determines the edges of the screen's image and locates the center of
the touch screen. If the touch screen is not calibrated properly, the active area of the touch

NOTE

Before you calibrate the touch screen, let the system warm up for 30 minutes.

screen may not be aligned with the screen's image or may be unnecessarily small in size. If
you need to access the calibration routine, use a USB mouse.

The touch screen of your GN system is factory calibrated. Run the calibration routine when an
alignment problem exists between the mouse pointer and the stylus contact location on the
screen. You can adjust the touch screen calibration with the software "Hampshire TSHARC
Control Panel".

Depending on the operation system installed, the calibration procedure is slightly different.

3.2.5 Touch Screen Care and Cleaning

For cleaning we recommend a mild detergent and water. Do not use of strong solvents, which
could attack paint or plastic. Protect the plastic overlay and the touch screen surface from
direct heat sources such as cigarettes. The display front is sealed against dust, liquids, etc.

The front surface of the touch screen is a flexible plastic foil. Avoid touching it with sharp
objects such as a knife, a pen or a pencil tip. Sharp objects can permanently damage the
functionality of the touch screen. Units without a touch screen have a polycarbonate shield,
which may be scratched if an object is sufficiently sharp.

RS485 mode communication can be either in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. While running in
RS485 half duplex mode, the system stays in receiver mode. Switching to transmission mode
occurs automatically and is triggered by the RTS line or the last sent message using the TxD
line, which the user defines.

• RTS: the RTS signal must be activated by the application software before starting the

data packet transmission The RTS signal has to be disabled again afterdata
transmission has been terminated.

• TxD: the receiver device has to wait a certain time (timeout) before starting to send

any data.
