It is possible to cancel the calibration process by clicking Cancel Touch Calibration on the Calibrating Touch Screen web
page. The calibration process is canceled after 60 seconds of inactivity, or if a Layout is Activated, or any item is
Auditioned.
If the calibration process is not successfully completed, then the iCOMPEL will revert to either a previously successful
calibration setting or to an uncalibrated state.
Name
The Name field will appear when a Touch Screen is connected and Calibrated.
Drag Threshold
When a Touch Screen is Pressed and Released the screen coordinates of the 2 events are slightly different. The Drag
Threshold is the minimum number of screen pixels difference between the Press and the Release for the Action to be
considered a Press-Drag-Release, rather than a Press-Release. This is particularly useful when passing the Touch events
to a displayed web page, where typically a Press-Release is required.
The first time calibration is performed the difference between the press and release events for the 3 calibration crosshairs
are used to estimate a drag threshold. It may be necessary to adjust this value based on the media to be displayed and the
intended users.
