Abstract:
1. A method for avionic touchscreen operation, the method comprising the steps of: displaying one or more user input devices on a touchscreen panel, the one or more user input devices including a knob; receiving user inputs on a face of the touchscreen panel that correspond to rotating the knob at a rotational speed; generating input signals in response to the user inputs; generating operational signals in response to comparing the input signals to predetermined user input signals; adjusting one or more avionic operation parameters in response to the operational signals; and providing two or more user sensible outputs in response to the operational signals and in accordance with the user inputs, wherein the step of providing two or more user sensible outputs comprises providing two or more user sensible outputs selected from the group of providing user sensible outputs including providing visual outputs, providing audible outputs and providing tactile outputs by vibrating the touchscreen panel at an amplitude and at a frequency, wherein the frequency varies in accordance with the rotational speed of the knob corresponding to the user inputs received.
