Use a Touch Screen

Touch Screen Controller

Computers with a touch screen are shipped with the touch screen controller
installed and connected. The touch screen controller connects internally to a
USB port. The touch screen is factory configured with the proper USB and
touch screen driver settings, so no user configuration is required.

Touch Screen Driver

The touch screen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver software is
also available for download at

http://www.ab.com/industrialcomputers/drivers

.

Resistive Touch Screen
Technology

Resistive touch screens are activated when you apply pressure to the touch screen
with your finger. You can operate a resistive touch screen while wearing gloves.

Calibrate the Touch Screen

The touch screen supplied with the computer is factory installed and calibrated.

Follow these steps to recalibrate the touch screen.

1. Run the touch screen configuration utility through the Programs menu of

the operating system.

2. Start the calibration routine offered within the utility.
3. Follow the calibration instructions given on the computer screen.

TIP

If it becomes necessary to reinstall the touch screen driver, the touch
screen utility will automatically detect the USB port used by the touch
screen controller.

IMPORTANT

The touch screen may be operated with a finger, gloved finger, or plastic
stylus device with a minimum tip radius of 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) to prevent
damage to the touch screen. Using any other object or tool may damage
the touch screen.

ATTENTION: Do not use sharp instruments to activate the touch
screen. Scratching the surface of the touch screen could damage
the unit.
