5. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
5.1.Touch Sensitive screen:
MICRO TOUCH 1300 provides a Touch sensitive TFT LCD panel and a KEYPAD for easy user interface.
The Menus are displayed; the text of the parameter forms the TOUCH ZONE.
Touch screen Layout
For Example: In END POINT Mode
Above is the generic representation of a Test Screen. The Highlighted zones are TOUCH ZONES, which are
active. On touching the “Touch Zone” of a parameter, a sub menu/menu is displayed or the requested action is
carried out.
For Example: - To activate the selection.
•To enter the primary filter value, touch any point in the shaded area “FIL-P” on the TFT LCD screen.
On proper selection the analyser responds with selected value display on numeric keypad with the help
of enter touchzone.
•To enter Test Name: Touching the “NAME” touch zone provides an alphanumeric screen. Enter the
Test name by touching the Touch zone of that variable. The selected value blinks and is displayed
next to theparameter.
