Testing the Calibration

If you accidentally liftoff from the sensor in the wrong place during calibration, you will distort the sensor calibration. Test by touching several points on the sensor to make sure you are satisfied with the calibration results. The cursor should be located underneath your finger or pen when you touch the sensor. Repeat the Calibration process until you are satisfied. Recalibrate the sensor if any of the following tests fail. Touch random points on the sensor. The cursor should be located underneath your finger or pen when you touch the sensor.

∙Drag your finger across the sensor and check that the cursor follows your movements.

∙Touch each corner and along the edges of the sensor. Verify that the cursor reaches the full image area of the sensor. Be sure you can touch and activate all icons and menus across the entire sensor.

∙If you are using a pen stylus, be sure to perform the calibration procedure using the pen.

∙If you need to recalibrate the sensor, make sure to touch the targets carefully. It is possible that one of your touches did not register properly or you accidentally touched the sensor in the wrong place during calibration. For example, if you touch beyond the targets or into the non-image area, you will distort the sensor calibration.

Support Information

This information helps identify your system setup for troubleshooting purposes. If for any reason you need to call Technical Support, this information will be useful.

Controller ID

On the Main tab, this is an information-only field in a single controller situation – if you have more than one controller you can select the specific controller you want to adjust.

This field identifies the controller(s) attached to your system. It will display unique identifiers for each controller attached to your system in a drop box. When you select a controller from this list, the Controller tab will reflect only this controller – any changes will be made only to this controller.

∙USB controller values include USB00000001, USB00000002, or USB00000003.

∙For EX serial controllers values include PORTCOM1, PORTCOM2, PORTCOM3, etc.

∙For other serial controllers values include SER00000001, SER00000002, etc.

Note: If there are multiple controllers in use, then a dropdown menu will appear next to ‘Controller ID.’ Each controller may be calibrated separately by choosing a specific one from the dropdown menu and then hitting ‘Calibrate. ’
