Calibrating the Touchscreen
Calibrating the touchscreen ensures that it is aligned with your display. The
monitor’s touchscreen is calibrated before leaving Parker. However, you
may need to recalibrate the touchscreen in certain circumstances, such as:
•
Moving a CompactFlash card between PA2 PowerStations
•
After re-imaging the CompactFlash card
•
When you replace the touchscreen
•
Whenever the cursor does not follow the location where you touch the
screen
Using the MachineShop Shell Calibration Utility
The MachineShop Shell comes with a calibration utility located in the
MachineShop Shell. To calibrate the touchscreen driver, complete the
following steps:
1
From the MachineShop Shell Main Menu, select the Settings option,
then select the PowerStation option.
2
The PowerStation Settings page will appear.
3
Select the Calibrate Touchscreen option. The calibration routine will
run automatically.
4
Use your finger to touch the + on the screen.
5
Repeat the previous step two more times. Each time you touch the +
you will hear a faint beep to indicate that the touch has been
accepted.
After the third time, your touchscreen will be calibrated.
