3.5 The MercuryiTC touch screen
The touch screen is the graphical user interface (GUI) for the MercuryiTC.
The complete set of information visible on the touch screen at any one time is called a page.
The label (if any), found in the top left corner, will be used to identify the page.
The Home page has 6 configurable regions where sensor parameters can be displayed. These
are known as widgets.
Each page of the GUI contains a number of active areas. To initiate an action, tap the relevant
active area once.
The bottom of the Home page shows examples of buttons. To initiate an action, tap the button
once. The button will change colour when active, either flashing ORANGE or switching between
ORANGE and a dark background colour (BLUE/BLACK), depending on context.
