Greater integration
Space is usually at a premium in industrial
and other instrument designs, and
there’s a clear advantage if the footprint
of the touch controller can be kept
to a minimum. Reducing the PCB size
is therefore important, as is making
available the controller chip-set, so that
designers can consider embedding the
touch controller onto an existing system
motherboard.
Using a touchscreen alongside or
instead of mechanical buttons has huge
advantages for the instrument designer.
The screen can readily be protected
against mechanical damage and the
environment, and provides flexibility
beyond the reach of other technologies.
With multi-function instruments, users
need only be offered the options available
to them at that particular point, greatly
reducing the risk of error and making
the instrument more intuitive to use. The
user can be offered the option to see the
interface in different languages. Different
colours can also be selected, according to
individual preference or to accommodate
issues like colour-blindness. As they
become increasingly robust, sensitive and
capable, touch screen interfaces are sure
to become as widespread in the industrial
environment as they are in the hands of
consumers. n
