2 - 5 Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen. Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use. Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can: Open applications Choose menu commands Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes Drag the slider in a scroll bar Select text by dragging the stylus across the text Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager. Note: If the mouse icon is not displayed, this feature can be enabled by tapping the PenMount icon in the System Tray. From the menu that pops up, tap the Right Button to enable the mouse icon. When this option is enabled, a checkmark is displayed in the menu. A stylus replacement kit is available. Setup Terminal Emulation Parameters Note: The instructions below are for Honeywell RFTerm. If a different terminal emulation software is installed on your Thor VX9 refer to the documentation for that software. Before you make a host connection, you will, at a minimum, need to know: the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system to properly set up your host session. 1. Make sure the mobile client network settings are configured and functional. If you are connecting over wireless LAN (802.11x), make sure your mobile client is communicating with the Access Point. 2. From Start > Program, run RFTerm or tap the RFTerm icon on the desktop. 3. Select Session > Configure from the application menu and select the “host type” that you require. This will depend on the type of host system that you are going to connect to; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400 5250 server or VT host. 4. Enter the “Host Address” of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a DNS name or an IP address of the host system. 5. Update the telnet port number, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific port. If not, just use the default telnet port. 6. Select OK. 7. Select Session > Connect from the application menu or tap the “Connect” button on the Tool Bar. Upon a successful connection, you should see the host application screen displayed. To change options such as Display, Colors, Cursor, Bar Code, etc., refer to these sections in the RFTerm Reference Guide for complete descriptions of these and other features. A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen. After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.
2 - 6 Cleaning the Touch Screen Note: These instructions are for components made of glass. If there is a removable protective film sheet on the display, remove the film sheet before cleaning the screen. Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the bar code reader scanning aperture and the mobile device touch screen. If the glass becomes soiled or smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex ® without vinegar or use isopropyl alcohol. Dampen the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe the surface. Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not scrub optical surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint and particulates can be removed with clean, filtered canned air. Data Entry You can enter data into the Thor VX9 through several different methods. A tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial port or a Bluetooth scanner provides bar code data entry, the serial ports are used to input/output data, keyboards provide manual entry and the touch screen also provides manual entry (simulating a desktop PC’s mouse). Keyboard Data Entry Refer to Key Maps (page 7-1) for 101-key keyboard equivalent keypresses. The keyboard is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the VMT keyboard but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task. When using the 60-key keyboard almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric char- acter is printed on the key. For example, when the 2 nd key is selected pressing the desired second-function key produces the 2nd character i.e. 2nd + F1 toggles the CAPS Lock function. The specific 2nd character is printed above the corresponding key. Bar Code Data Entry The Thor VX9 supports an accessory bar code label reading device. Keyboard data entries can be mixed with bar code data entries. Any scanner that decodes the bar code internally and outputs an RS-232 data stream may be used. COM port 1 is designed to be used with a hand held tethered bar code scanner. Also, a Bluetooth bar code scanner can be used to enter bar code data into the Thor VX9. COM1 must be set to +5V on pin 9 when using a tethered serial scanner. See VMT Manager (page 5-10). Touch Screen Entry Note: The touch screen should be calibrated before initial use. See Calibrate Touch Screen (page 5-8). Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen. The touch screen input performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a desk top computer. A stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single-tap or double-tap to select menu options, drag the sty- lus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider bars, etcetera. Right-click is generated by tapping the mouse icon in the system tray. After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button of the icon in red. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right-click. The mouse icon then returns to the left button highlighted in red so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks. Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touch screen responds to an actuation force (touch) of up to 4 oz. of pressure. The touch screen can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner. Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed. The cursor begins to flash in the field.
