It would be interesting to know how the palm pilot handles mis-calibrations and factory setups. They might do it through software controls or they may have some interface port that allows for an alternate input device. Perhaps some of our subscribers have had experience with these devices and would share that knowledge?

You might accidentally miss a button once, but not twice, and certainly not twice the same way. If you show me the specs, we can probably even throw out "that can't be right" calibration input from users. Take a look at a palm pilot some day. It doesn't have a keyboard. It does have touch screen calibration.

Keyboard navigation to return to the calibration function is the only recourse in this situation. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rcr@dieboldes.com [mailto:owner-rcr@dieboldes.com]On Behalf Of Ken Clark Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 11:50 AM To: rcr@dieboldes.com Subject: RE: Touch Screen Calibration with BS Software Keyboard navigation probably makes some sense for the administrative functions: tab through buttons, space to press button, etc. But before we get in a knot about this, just how far out of calibration can these things really get on their own before we just declare the touch screen broken? I mean, its a big button, and you can always use some smarts and touch a little to the left or right based on feedback. If the screen is going out of calibration to the point that this technique doesn't work, something is seriously wrong. Show me the specs.

Piper Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 9:35 AM To: rcr@dieboldes.com Subject: RE: Touch Screen Calibration with BS Software Q: How would you select an "ELO Calibration" button using the touch screen when the calibration is out to begin with? Q: Could a keyboard be used to select this function, if the touch screen is so far out of calibration that it can't be selected by using the touch screen?
