Axiomtek Touch Panel Configuration for SymVue

The GOT-5100T-830 is a 10.4" Intel® Atom™-based fanless touch panel for use with SymVue technology. It adopts a modern, super sleek and fanless design and is equipped with a 10.4" TFT LCD as well as Intel® Atom™ N270 1.6 GHz processor.

SymVue is a real-time user control panel application that displays control screens exported from SymNet Designer 9.0 functioning as a multi-user, multi-point control environment for SymNet systems. SymVue runs on any Windows-compatible device, including touch screen enabled PCs and tablets, which run Vista or XP.

The process of creating a graphical user interface and exporting it to off-the-shelf control hardware represents a significant savings in time and money when compared to third party control systems.

The Axiomtek GOT-5100T-830 met the high standards in quality, appearance, responsiveness, as well as the ease of use and installation that is required of all products engineered by Symetrix.
