Use a Touchscreen

Touchscreen Controller

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

Driver Software

The touchscreen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver software is
also available for download at the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility
and Download Center (PCDC) at

.

Resistive Touchscreen
Technology

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

Calibrate the Touchscreen

The touchscreen supplied with the computer is factory installed and calibrated.

Perform the following steps to recalibrate the touchscreen.

1. Run the touchscreen configuration utility through the Programs menu of

the operating system.

2. Start the calibration routine offered within the utility.

3. Follow the calibration instructions on the touchscreen.

TIP

If you must reinstall the touchscreen driver, the touchscreen utility
automatically detects the USB port used by the touchscreen controller.

ATTENTION: Do not use sharp instruments to activate the touchscreen.
Scratching the surface of the touchscreen can damage the display.
