6 Touch screen calibration
B&R touch screen devices are equipped with a touch controller that supports hardware calibration. As a result,
devices are pre-calibrated when delivered. This is an advantageous feature when replacing devices of the same
model or type since it avoids having to recalibrate the new device. Nevertheless, calibrating the device is still
recommended in order to achieve the best results and to better adapt the touch screen to the user's preferences.
Regardless of this, the touch screen will have to be calibrated once during or following the installation of the touch
screen driver.
