Buttons

neoVI PLASMA has many buttons located across the device that are explained here further.

There is NOT a power on/off button.  neoVI PLASMA is designed to be "always on" until the VNET power connection is removed.  Power management features are available to minimize power consumption.  neoVI PLASMA entering sleep mode can be identified by all the front facing LEDs turning yellow.  Once sleep mode is entered, the LEDs will turn off.


D-Pad Buttons

D-Pads are the round control areas on the left and right sides with 5 backlit buttons for up, down, left, right, and select.  Both sides perform the same actions.  The buttons can be used along with the touch screen to highlight items and make selections.


Home | Menu | Back Buttons

These 3 backlit buttons on the left and right sides work the same as those found on many of today's Android smartphones:

 Home - jumps to the main home screen from anywhere

 
 Menu - shows the menu options available

 
 Back - returns to the previous screen or menu

Custom Buttons 1-10

The custom buttons can be scripted to do different tasks like capture a buffer, transmit a message, or start a function block.


Button Monitoring in Vehicle Spy (for advanced users)

All buttons can be monitored using a Vehicle Spy CoreMini script.

One way to let a button control script logic is to follow these steps:
  1. Use a function block script command like "If", "Jump If", or "Wait Until".


  2. In VSpy Expression Builder, Physical IO, Switches:


    3. neo0-sw#-0-index(0) = Value


      Value is 0 (off) or 1 (on).

      # is the VSpy # to monitor in Table 1 below.


  3. Run the function block script as CoreMini in neoVI PLASMA.
