Hi there,

Recently i was loading the WinCC Flexible project in new TP170B PN/DP.

The moment panel was powered up a already loaded project came up,all the text was written in german, but heading was something like test screen or so. I pressed a button and was navigated to a screen, which was mostly a empty screen with a back button. I just moved my finger diagonal wise across the screen and to my amazement a line was drawn in that way!! I was able to write my name on screen in this way. Iam not aware of any such facility in touch panel, is it really a new thing, or something which was there for a long time?



Also in one of the screen I was able to change the font,colour and text size without going to control panel, just by pressing the buttons !!



Twice I went to a screen from where i was not able to navigate back to the main screen, so i decided to re-boot the panel. I did this twice and sadly when i did this for the third time that project never came up, instead the normal screen with Transfer,Start, Control Panel options came up. I re-booted the panel 5-6 times but that project did not surfaced again!!

Is it possible to do this kind of thing in touch panel?



This panel was not having memory card.



To me all this was like spotting a UFO in TP170B COLOR PN/DP.

:oops:
 
Yes I have seen a similar test screen on another panel.
Appearantly it deletes itself after use.

There is no "pen-drawing" functionality in Protool or WinCC Flexible.
