LP-X48 Quick Start VGA/Touchscreen Mode Operation
There are three separate modes of operation for the LP-X48:
• VGA Mode makes good use of the expanded viewing area of a larger screen while also offering
trackball & keyboard support for programming.
• VGA Mode with the Touchscreen capability gives you the features of the VGA with the added
benefit of touch activation.
• LCD Mode does not require any peripheral devices for programming making it ideal for
programming in spaces where real estate is at a premium.
This document will cover programming with VGA Mode alone.
