Display

The display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting SVGA graphics
modes. Display size is 1024x768 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist
stains. The touch screen allows signature capture and touch input. The display sup-
ports screen blanking to eliminate driver distraction when the vehicle is in motion.

Touch Screen

The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect
touches by a stylus, and translate them into computer commands. In effect, it simulates
a computer mouse. Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used. A right mouse click is
simulated by touching and holding the screen for the appropriate time interval.
When a dialog box is too large for the display, tap and drag the dialog box up or down or
from side to side to view the remainder of the dialog box.
Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never
use an actual pen, pencil, sharp or abrasive object to write on the touch screen.
An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered.
A replaceable touch screen protective film is available when the Thor VM2 is used in an
abrasive environment. Contact
Note: If the touch screen is disabled or loses calibration on a Thor VM2, you must use a USB
mouse or keyboard attached to the Thor VM2 to access the control panel to re-enable or
recalibrate the touch screen unless a programmable key has been assigned to that
function.

Screen Blanking

Screen blanking (blackout) can be enabled when the vehicle is in motion. See
Blanking
blanking. Once screen blanking is enabled, the display is blanked out any time when the
cable sends the signal that the vehicle is in motion. If the cable is removed, screen
blanking is disabled and the display remains on.
