Chapter 4: Touchscreen
4.1 Introduction to the Touchscreen
The Max Air Touchscreen allows you to touch items on the screen that you would nor-
mally click with a mouse. The software can still be operated with a mouse and keyboard
but we will confine our instructions to the “touch” interface because most users are un-
familiar with it. The main difference between a touch and conventional interface is that
there is no “double-touch” corresponding to a double-click to launch or open an item.
The term View is used for a screen of information that is activated by touching a menu
button or tab. There is no Close button to a View. Change Views by selecting another
View.
The term Popup is used for a window of topical information that is opened by touching
a button and closed by touching a Close button. A Popup is similar to a dialog box in
other systems.
When a keyboard popup is presented to name something (Figure 4-1), either touch the
letters onscreen or type them on the system computer keyboard. Either touch the Enter
button onscreen or hit the Enter key on the system computer keyboard.

We will use the word select to refer to items that stay selected or illuminated when
touched, or that activate a new mode.
We will use the word touch to refer to items that are activated when touched but do not
persist or activate a new mode.
