Functions of the capacitive multi-touch screen
General functions
• Detection of up to 5 finger touches at a time.
• Detection of gestures that are supported by the operating system or the software installed
on the PC.
Note
Multi-touch operation can provide extended functions or pose limitations depending on
the operating system and the software installed on the PC. Observe the corresponding
documentation.
• You do not need to calibrate the capacitive multi-touch screen. Some operating systems
do offer touch calibration. However, this calibration does not result in an improvement of
the accuracy.
Security functions in an industrial environment
The capacitive multi-touch screen is locked for security reasons when the following
disturbances occur:
• There is a conductive liquid on the touch screen with ground contact via the enclosure or
the operator, for example.
• An electromagnetic disturbance that exceeds the specification in the technical data of the
device exerts an influence, see section "Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 91)".
Once the interference is over, the capacitive multi-touch screen is no longer locked.
