1.1 TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY OVERVIEW
The communicator has a 4.3-inch widescreen backlit TFT color touchscreen display with 480 x 272
WQVGA pixel resolution. The entire viewable area of the screen is an active touch surface. The touchscreen
responds to and is optimized for finger presses (even through gloves). NO stylus is necessary. Never touch
the screen with sharp objects – simply use your finger.
Display Layouts
There are two styles of displays presented on the communicator, system menu displays (Section 3.1) and
HART ® menu displays (Section 3.2).
The main system menu display is the initial menu at power turn on. It is also accessible from any
HART ®
menu (see Function Buttons in section 3.2). There are three distinct areas on the system menus. The top of
the menu provides system information. The middle of the menu contains navigation icons to system actions
or new system menus. The bottom of the menu contains current HART
® connection status and navigation
buttons.
