Keyboard

The QuickPanel View/Control can be configured to use either or both a
hardware keyboard and a software emulation keyboard as operator data
input devices. Typically, an external hardware keyboard is used when in a
development mode, while the included Soft Input Panel is more applicable in
an operational environment.
External Keyboard (optional)
Any USB keyboard compatible with the QuickPanel View/Control can be
used as an input device for the unit. The USB driver for the keyboard is
included with the operating system and no setup is required. To use an
external keyboard, simply plug and play.
A list of compatible devices (keyboards, USB mice, compact flash cards,
etc.) may be found by visiting the Technical Support website (see page iii for
contact information).
Soft Input Panel
The Soft Input Panel (SIP) is a touch screen version of a standard keyboard,
which can be used in place of a standard hardware keyboard.
An icon in the system tray lets you view or hide the SIP.
To show/hide the Soft Input Panel
On the system tray of the task bar, double-tap the icon. The Soft Input Panel
appears/disappears.

When the SIP is visible, it can be dragged around the screen by its
title bar to reveal different parts of the screen that would be
obstructed from view by the SIP.
