Touchscreen technologies
Refer also to chapter 7.1, which contains safety notes relating to the touchscreen.
10.1.1 Resistive touchscreen
A certain amount of force has to be applied when touching the touch point of a resis
tive touchscreen if the action is to be recognized. There can only be one touch point.
The resistive touchscreen can be operated in a number of different ways, such as using
your finger, even when wearing various types of gloves, or a stylus. Harsh environ
mental conditions, for example water and dust, do not have any effect.
10.1.2 Projected capacitive touchscreen
Projected capacitive touchscreens can be operated with just a light touch of the glass
surface. There is no need to apply any force. Several touch points can be recognized
(= multitouch).
The projected capacitive touchscreen can be operated using the fingertips (even when
wearing gloves) or using a compatible stylus.
The glass surface is extremely resistant to harsh environmental conditions and is easy
to clean.
To avoid malfunction, pay attention to the information in chapter 13.1.1 about cleaning
the PCAP touchscreen.
