Glossary CARROLL TOUCH
GL-2 Touch System Diagnostics (CTDIAG) User’s Guide
Continuous Mode A touch reporting type under the SFP that reports touch
coordinates at intervals from the time a stylus enters the screen
until it exits, even if the stylus is unmoving. Add Exit Point can be
added as a modifier.
controller The interface between the touch system and the computer. The
controller may be software-based or hardware-based, or may use
the computer’s serial (RS-232) port. See hardware-based
controller, serial (RS-232) controller, and software-based
controller.
coordinate origin corner The 0, 0 origin of the video coordinate system. This is usually in
the upper left corner of the display.
coordinate reporting One of two methods that determines the form used to send data
from the touch system to the host. The touch system reports x, y
coordinate values that identify the touch location. The x and y
values are reported as logical coordinates. See also scan
reporting.
coordinates The two-dimensional mathematical representation of a point. For
example, 29, 38 represents a value of 29 on the x-axis and a value
of 38 on the y-axis.
CTDIAG.CFG file The CTDIAG configuration file used during autodetection.
Enter Point Mode A touch reporting type under the SFP that reports only the
coordinates at which a stylus enters the touch screen. Add Exit
Point reporting can be added as a modifier.
Exit Point Mode A touch reporting type under the SFP that reports only the
coordinates at which the stylus exits the touch screen. Add Exit
Point reporting can be added as a modifier; if you do this,
however, the touch system reports the coordinates at which the
stylus exits the screen twice, first as a normal Coordinate Report
and then as an Add Exit Point Coordinate Report.
Formatted Mode A mode used in the receive window of the Debug screen. Each
command and associated report appear on a separate line for easier
viewing.
frame size A general term for either logical or physical frame size. See
logical frame size, physical frame size.
guided acoustic wave
touch technology
A technology used in touch screens, based upon transmitting
acoustic waves through a glass overlay placed over the display
surface.
