The IEE PEP (Peripheral Entry Panel) is an interactive terminal assembly integrating a 6-line by 40-character vacuum fluorescent display with an infrared switch matrix. Interaction with the host system occurs when the operator reads displayed messages and responds by finger contact with a touch sensitive switch location on the screen. Since the switch matrix uses optical technology, no annoying grids are present to degrade the appearance of the display.
Features:
- Infrared touch screen is immune to ambient light.
- Touch points can be on the character area of the display screen or on the border surrounding the display area.
- Custom artwork for the border area switches can be designed for each unique application.
- Single piece, drip-proof, polycarbonate bezel.
- Bright, easy to read 6-line by 40-character VF display
- 32 kilobytes of battery-backed RAM for storage of up to 127 canned messages.
- EIA-232 (with CTS and DTR) and EIA-422 serial interfaces at 1200 or 9600 baud.
- Operates from a single +5Vdc power supply.
- U.S. ASCII, scientific, general European, Scandinavian, German and user-defined character sets in a 5x7 dot matrix.
- Blinking character fields and three levels of dimming, both software controlled.
- Bell output allows for audible feedback with a user-provided signaling device.
- Watchdog timer and improved noise immunity of the RESET input.
- Choice of a six-color display filters.
- UL recognized component.
- Extended operating temperature range available (-40° to +85° C).
