Bit

Description

Values

 

 

S0 – S5

Reserved

 

 

S6

Proximity

1 = Touch screen is being touched (a touchdown

 

 

(touch state)

or a continued touch).

 

 

 

0 = Touch screen is not being touched (a touch

 

 

 

liftoff or inactive).

 

 

 

When the proximity bit changes from 1 to 0

 

 

 

(touch liftoff), the controller outputs one final set

 

 

 

of X/Y coordinate data with the bit equal to 0 and

 

 

 

the X/Y coordinate data equal to the last touch

 

 

 

point.

Mode Stream

Syntax: <SOH>MS<CR>

Description: Sends a continuous stream of X/Y coordinate data when you touch the screen. The controller continues to send data as long as you touch the screen. The controller sends the data even if the touch is stationary and unchanging.

The format of the coordinate data depends on the last format command received by the controller.

Format Raw automatically uses Mode Stream to send X/Y coordinate data. Response: <SOH>0<CR> Positive response

Null Command

Syntax:

<SOH>Z<CR>

Description:

Queries the controller and waits for a response.

 

Use Z to determine that you are communicating with the controller or to

 

make sure that a utility is communicating with the controller. Using this

 

command does not affect the controller’s current operating parameters.

Response:

<SOH>0<CR> Positive response
