Keyboard Entry

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 VX6 keyboard but it may
take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.
Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is
printed on the key.
For example, when the <2
nd
the <2 > character i.e. <2
is printed above the corresponding key.
Please refer to Appendix A "Key Maps" for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all
PC-compatible keyboard functions.

Touchscreen Entry

Note: This section is directed to the VX6 user. The assumption is that the unit has been
configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to releasing
the VX6 for use.
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 touchscreen input performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click
elements on a desk top computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or
double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to
activate slider bars, etcetera. Holding the stylus down for ½ second performs the right mouse
click function.
When using a stylus, 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 an input/output device
connected to one of the VX6's serial ports.

Right Click

A right click can be simulated on the touch screen. To perform a right click, touch the touch
screen with the stylus and hold it in the same location for a short time.
