About the Touchscreen

The VNA is equipped with a 12.1-inch Hi resolution, color, touch-sensitive LCD screen for displaying traces, softkeys, and other measurement related information. The touch screen LCD allows you to make measurement settings by touching the LCD screen directly with a finger.

Important

  • Do not press the surface of the LCD screen with a sharp object such as a pen. This will damage the LCD screen surface or cause the screen to fail.

  • Occasionally, a few pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is not a failure of the LCD screen and does not affect the performance of your product.

  • Because of the LCD screen, burn-in is not likely. In addition, we do not recommend using a screen-saver on the VNA.
