Keyboard Configuration

The QuickPanel Operator Interface can be configured to use either or both a hardware keyboard and a software
+
emulation keyboard as operator data input devices. Typically, an optional external hardware keyboard is used when
in development mode, while the included Soft Input Panel (SIP) is more applicable in an operational environment.

External Keyboard (Optional)

Any USB-compatible keyboard may be used as an input device for the unit. The USB driver for the keyboard is included
with the operating system and no configuration is required. To use an external keyboard, connect the keyboard to the
unit using the USB cable.

Soft Input Panel

The Soft Input Panel (SIP) is a touchscreen keyboard that may be used in place of a standard hardware keyboard. An
icon in the system tray enables the user to view or hide the SIP.
➢ To show or hide the SIP: from the system tray located on the task bar, tap the icon and select Hide Input Panel.
Note When visible, the SIP can be moved around the screen by dragging the title bar to reveal parts of the screen that
would be obstructed from view by the SIP.
