Operation Allow to change the input cursor position with the stylus by pressing directly on the input field. Configuration (5250 file) [TN52_EMULATION] CursorByTap = Yes

  12. Touch screen actions With the touch screen, the stylus or the fingers, it is possible to make actions Available features 5250 Functions at screen Send a function key to host by pressing the screen. Press with the stylus any "Fx“ text on the screen. (x= is the function number). i/e: if the text is “F5”, when pressing over this text, send PF5 to host. Configuration(5250 file) [TN52_EMULATION] FunctionByTap = Yes On-line help

  13. Touch screen actions With the touch screen, the stylus or the fingers, it is possible to make actions Available features On-line help Double Tap With a double tap on screen, generates a keystroke, that can be a function. Operation Touch two times the screen in the same place, then keep out the stylus. Configuration (5250 file) [TN52_EMULATION] DoubleTap=00XX (code of the key) • Example of use • It is possible to configure the “double tap” to launch the virtual keyboard (SIP Panel) on the screen. • SipScanCode(use the same code than DoubleTap – 00FF as example) • It is also possible to generate: • Function • Enter • Letters / digits

  14. Display configuration

  15. Display configuration Configure by the font size in the current session • 2. See the resulting configuration in the PDA • Go to configuration dialog, see the currently selected size and font. • 3 .Make the configuration persistent • Change the configuration on the PC. • On the 5250 configuration file • [DISPLAYFONT] • FullName=Size= • Try the different sizes in the active session • In the active session, on the menu “Tools”, with “Text Size +” and “Text Size –” is possible to dynamically change the font size. On-line help On-line forum On-line help

  16. Display configuration Configure by the number of visible rows and columns on screen Font and size TIP • 1. Test it in the PDA • Connect emulator to host. • With the menu “Go” / “main" back to menu. • Go to [configure] / [Display Configuration], change the value in the combo-box, then click on [select]. • 2. Make the configuration persistent • Configuration option (generic file) • [DISPLAYFONT] Font ExamplesExample 1Example 2 • Rows and columns indicator following selected configuration • Try different layouts with different fonts and sizes. Warning. Prefer fixed width fonts (monospaced) On-line forum On-line help On-line help

  17. Display colors Show colors in the PDA as the PC Explanation: Color display differs following emulated terminal model 5251-11 (monochrome) et 5292-2 (color). On-line help On-line forum CONFIGURATION (generic file) [SESSION_1] TtypePreferred=5292-2

  18. Barcode reading

  19. Split the barcode Read a barcode, then split or truncate them to fill some input fields • CONFIGURATION (5250 file) • Configure the action to perform with the barcode read. • Configuration option • [TN52_BARCODES] • BcInField • Options • The 'S' configuration allows to SPLIT the codes that exceeds the current input field width in the following fields. • By default the configuration is 'T', that TRUNCATES the exceeding data and fills only one field (the current one). Aide on-line

  20. Enter instead FieldExit Read a barcode, then send [ENTER] instead [Field Exit] • The FieldExit function make a field "Adjust“ then goes to next field (if any)(that performs an ENTER if it is AUTO-ENTER). • The ENTER function makes a field "Adjust" then send screen data to host (AID key).
