Capacitive screens rely on the capacitive properties of the operator’s finger pressing lightly
on the screen.
If the operator is wearing gloves, this can affect the operation of the capacitive screens. The
thickness of the glove keeps the operator’s fin
ger slightly further from the screen. To
accommodate gloved operation, the Sensitivity Tool allows the screen sensitivity to be set
to a higher level. Setting the screen sensitivity to High enables the QuickPanel
+
display
screen to operate with the user wearing most types of work gloves. For thicker gloves, the
user may need to press down more firmly to place the finger closer to the screen, which
causes the finger pad to spread out slightly to make a larger capacitive area.
Note:
Gloved operation works best when the operator is wearing gloves that fit. If the fingers do
not extend to the end of the glove, the empty space at the fingertip may make it difficult to
operate the display screen while wearing gloves.
Setting the screen sensitivity to Low enables the QuickPanel
+
operator actions to be slow
and deliberate as they were using resistive screens. With low sensitivity, the operator must
press firmly down on the display screen for a response.
