for details on testing your touch screen. The touch screen should be set to

Touch is out of alignment
If when you touch the touch screen, a button next to the one you touch is
activated, then the touch screen is out of alignment and needs calibration.
Put the scorer in test mode by closing switch 8 on S1, or using the
Lane Control
System.
Once the tests are completed, touch the
CAL
button. Touch each corner of
the screen as prompted as accurately as you can. When the grid of buttons returns,
test the calibration over the entire screen.
Touch the
SENS-0
button. This sets the touch screen sensitivity to its lowest level,
which is suitable for most cases.
Ensure that the controls on the monitor which vary the position of the picture
(horizontal and vertical position and size) are not adjusted after calibration, or the
calibration will need to be redone.

No Pindication
If when a ball is bowled the score is being displayed correctly, but there is no on-
screen pindication, then there are several things to check.
Check that the correct pindication mode has been set by the
Lane Control System.
If you are using an APS, check that the pindication cable has been installed
correctly. It must be connected to a serial port on the computer that is configured
for COM1. No other port should be using this address or IRQ, although the same
port can be used for the touch screen
6.13
No Autoscoring
If the unit will not autoscore, check the cabling from the ALS to the APS.
Watch L2 on the ALS board while a ball is bowled. If it changes state then the
score signal has been received. Even if the signal is received, the score will not
appear if the arrows aren’t up, if the unit is in practice mode, or if it is expecting a
first ball when the machine is in second ball (or vice versa).
