4. Using equal pressure, carefully remove the touchpanel from the
opening.
5. If necessary, secure the attached cables before disconnecting them from
the back of the touchpanel.
Recommended Cleaning
Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could
degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the
surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality.
For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a
complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than
the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture
beneath panels.
Setup is easy thanks to Crestron's Windows
Crestron Application Builder™ (AppBuilder) creates a complete project, with no
special programming required. The AppBuilder completes all necessary
programming for a base system including all touchpanel screens and the control
system program. Once Crestron AppBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces
and program logic can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron
development tools (i.e., SIMPL Windows and VisionTools
software packages).
The program output of Crestron AppBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with
much of the functionality encapsulated in macros. Therefore, extending the
capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron AppBuilder and SIMPL Windows
are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. Crestron
AppBuilder is easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much faster for all
programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and flexibility that
SIMPL Windows does. Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest
method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from
SIMPL Windows to customize the job.
Crestron AppBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel
this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can
then be used by Crestron AppBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded into
the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with the
Crestron AppBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
