　If you can prove your ability, no matter how big you hit, it will not be a great word.The TouGHPAD FZ-G1 has a durability worthy of "sturdy".This is because it complies with both IP65 and Mil-STD-810G.The IP code is an internationally recognized standard and shows the performance of protecting devices from both solid and liquid.Mil-STD-810G is the latest version of the US military's extensive durability standard and test standard.This is a huge amount of 800 pages, falling from a height of 4 feet (about 120 cm), falling, shocking, vibration, rain, dust, sand, frozen, frost, high temperature / temperature change,Many environmental durability tests required for adopting military equipment, such as moisture and explosive atmosphere, are listed.

　If the reliability of a sturdy tablet is still not enough, there is a model that has acquired Class I Division 2 and Group ABCD certification as an option.This is an authentication standard showing that even if it is used in an environment where dangerous gas exists, it does not explode by the built -in electronic device.

　Also, as a trivial point, screws are used on the back of the TouGhPad FZ-G1, and both are ordinary Philips screws (plus screws), which is considered to meet the needs of the target market.I guess.In order to open the housing or replace defective parts, on -site engineers do not need to search for rare (hexagonal) drivers.

　In front of the TouGhPad FZ-G1, there are seven thin film buttons and three indicator lights at the bottom of the display.Let's explain in order from the left.The two on the left are a button that can be defined as a user, and can be programmed as an application -specific hot key.The A1 button is programmed to open the Panasonic configuration dashboard at the time of shipment.The A2 button is set to open the Windows screen keyboard or handwritten recognition window with the default.On the right side, the volume adjustment button (no silencing button), the Windows home button, and the automatic rotation function of the screen are lined up and the switching button.Next to it is three indicator lights (battery, HDD, power supply), and a power button on the right.

display

　TOUGHPAD FZ-G1 is an effective resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels..Equipped with a type 1 LED backlight IPS HD display.The electrostatic capacity touch screen supports the 10 -point multi -touch function.There is also a digitizerpen with a right -click function button.

　When I tested the digitizer, it was very sensitive and about one centimeter from the display showed a point that responded to the screen.The accuracy of the pen seemed to vary depending on the angle of the pen to the display.

　Digitizerpen is stored in the depression on the left side of the back, which is a little annoying.Since the storage area is on the left side, most of the right -handed users, which make up the right -handed user, have to change the device.In addition, a rounded strap needs to extend the arms and stretch out.Nevertheless, regardless of the left -handed, it is not a big problem because it is only necessary to turn the tablet over for the right -handed.

　One of the great new features of the new TOUGHPAD FZ-G1 is that you can operate the display with gloves.To do so, it is necessary to set the tablet to "gloves mode" on the Panasonic dashboard.In the initial setting, this dashboard can be started from the A1 button on the front panel.If you need to assign another function to the A1 button, you can start from a normal start menu.

　When I tested with several types of gloves for the touch panel set in the gloves mode, it was found that there were gloves that were well -recognized as gloves that were well -recognized.The best response of the touch panel was a recent work gloved gloved glove that adheres to the hand using mesh and spandex, such as Mechanix Wear and FIRM GRIP.With the conventional thick and rough work gloves, the operation was very difficult, and the operation was not well recognized unless I was conscious and tried many times.The insulated total leather work gloves did not recognize anything.
