Calibrate

Syntax:

<SOH>CX<CR>

Response:

<SOH>1<CR> Valid point response.

 

A Valid Point Response (‘1’) signifies that a touch coordinate was detected and is in

 

range of the expected screen target area. Two valid point responses indicate successful

 

calibration.

 

<SOH>0<CR> Invalid point response

 

An Invalid Point Response (‘0’) is returned if the touch coordinate is out of range. If

 

either calibration point is invalid, the touch coordinates are discarded and the calibration

 

points remain unchanged from their previous values.

 

<SOH>2<CR> Invalid point response

 

An Invalid Point Response (‘2’) is returned if the user did not touch the target long

 

enough to provide an accurate point.

Description:

Initiates an interactive 2-point calibration.

 

During the calibration process, you define the active area of the touch sensor by mapping

 

locations to an absolute X/Y coordinate system. You touch two target areas on the

 

sensor. Touching the target areas sends the X/Y coordinates for those touch points to the

 

controller. The controller calculates all other touch points based on these two points.

 

The Calibrate command sets the calibration targets (points) 12½ percent inward from the

 

corner of the video image. Setting the targets inward makes the calibration process easier

 

and more accurate.

 

It also establishes screen orientation.
