Touch Screen

Touch Screen

neoVI PLASMA has a touch sensitive screen that uses an Android operating system like many of today's smartphones. Along the top are status bar icons to show new and ongoing events. The home screen (Figure 1) shows onboard applications like WirelessNeoVI.

How Do I Use the Touch Screen?

Use these touch motions to perform different tasks:

Tap - to make a menu selection or open an application

Press & Hold - to grab an object that you want to move or open its option menu

Drag - to move an object or to slowly scroll through a list

Flick - to quickly scroll through a list (touch the screen again to stop scrolling)

Double Tap - to zoom in/out on a web page or picture

Status Bar

Along the top of the screen is a status bar that shows new and ongoing events. The events are indicated with short text or small animated icons. The status bar can be flicked downwards to expose more details and upwards again to hide them.

Successful Start Up of Wireless

A few moments after neoVI PLASMA boots up, the touch screen status bar should show:

WirelessNeoVI service is enabled and server is online.

GPS lock established (if enabled, connected, and available)

Wireless link established (WIFI/3G if enabled, connected, and available)

Full battery level (due to external DC power through VNET)
