TOUCH-SCREEN
KEYPADS
Exclusively via Prime/STUDIO software it is possible to program the graphic interface of the
Alien keypads and the graphic maps that can be displayed.
Once the keypad has been selected, it is necessary to select “Touch-screen keypad” as its
type. Together with the “General” section common to all types of keypads, the following
sections are shown:
• “Alien graphics”, for the graphic interface setup (backgrounds, buttons, icons)
• “Alien maps”, to configure the graphic maps accessible in the “Maps” section in the “APPs”
section (refer to Chapter 20 Graphic map configuration).
In order to configure the modified parameters on the keypad, it is necessary to have a link
between the PC to the USB port of the keypad.
The image in the lower part of the “Alien Graphic” section allows the visualization of the
graphic selected for the Alien keypad.
By double-clicking on the background or button icons it is possible to load the image from the
PC.
The image requirements depend on the device model:
• Alien/S skin:
- - the background file must be a .jpg file with a maximum size of 120 kbytes,
480x272 pixels
- - each of the 8 main buttons must be a .jpg file with a maximum size of 12 kbytes,
109x88 pixels
