Datasheet DATA DISPLAY GROUP 1 Usage ArtistaGUI is a human machine interface board that allows users to facilitate TFT-LCDs in their electronic or electromechanical systems in an interactive manner. End-user interacts with the ArtistaGUI using LCD - touchscreen pair and ArtistaGUI relays these inputs to the target system using some signals and communication protocols. Additionally, target systems transmit their outputs like warnings and messages to ArtistaGUI. ArtistaGUI draws these messages onto the LCD. Therefore it acts like a medium interface between the end-user and the target system. Main...
