3.3 Working with the Touchscreen
What sets this display apart from other display offerings from New Eagle is the 7” resistive touchscreen.
Touchscreen input allows for a wide range of user experience options
Touchscreen Calibration
Figure 3.3.1.a – Touch Calibration Screen and
Recalibrate Screen
Block
Touchscreen calibration is automatically launched when the device is first turned on after
reprogramming. The application designer can (and should) provide some extra gesture to recalibrate the
display if need be. This can be a long press, a button, or a simple pattern.
If the touchscreen needs to be recalibrated this can be done with the
Recalibrate Screen
block
triggered with a Function call generator. If possible in the application, the gesture to initiate
recalibration should not be dependent on needing to press a particular location on the screen. The
reason for this being that if the touchscreen calibration is very far off the user may not know what
location is actually being clicked in spite of what location is being pressed on the display.
