CALIBRATE TEST 

This test verifies touch tracking for the entire active screen area and lets you detect any calibration errors. 

 +

 

Intersecting lines indicate screen location coordinates from the Touchscreen Controller. 

RETURN 

Returns you to the previous screen. 

 

TYPICAL CALIBRATION TEST SCREEN 

Check the accuracy of the Touchscreen Controller can be checked without going through a new 
calibration procedure. This test quickly detects any non-linear or unresponsive areas of the Touchscreen. 

The Controller Version number indicates the model of controller used in this unit. Because of space 
limitations, the Touchscreen Controller is mounted where these numbers may be difficult to view easily. If 
customer assistance is required, the service person may request this number during problem solving. 

The first time the Touchscreen Controller is calibrated, the tracking data is stored in a section of the 
Touchmaster

® 

memory. Each time the screen is touched this information is recalled. This data must be 

changed if the game has been serviced or relocated. The test does not change the data stored in 
memory. The only way to replace the existing data with new information is to go through each of the 
calibration steps. Use Calibrate Test on a regular basis to determine if a new calibration is necessary. 

1.  Touch CALIBRATE TEST to view the test screen. The lines should intersect at the screen’s center. 

2.  Touch any location on the screen. The lines intersect at the point of contact. 

3.  For each additional touch point, the lines must intersect under your fingertip. Drag your finger across 

the screen, as well as lift it from the screen and place it down again. 

4.  Check several locations, especially along the outer perimeter of the screen. If either or both lines are 

visible beside your finger after the lines stop moving, recalibrate the touchscreen. 

5.  Touch RETURN to end the test and go back to the DIAGNOSTICS screen. If you encountered errors 

in the test, choose CALIBRATE and complete each step. 

6.  When the CALIBRATE TEST results are satisfactory, select RETURN to go to the main menu and 

EXIT to return to Attract mode. 

NOTICE: Always re-calibrate and test the VGM after moving your Touchmaster
