When the cursor does not appear exactly where you touch the screen, calibration is required. This process restores the relationship between the touch coordinates and the screen pixels. It ensures that each touch registers accurately again, which is essential for reliable and intuitive operation.
After installing an Elo touchscreen and drivers on a new system or after a clean OS installation, calibration is a crucial step. It ensures that the hardware and software are correctly configured for optimal touch performance from the first use and prevents inaccurate input.
When using multiple monitors, calibration ensures that touch input is correctly assigned to the Elo touch screen. During the process, calibration targets can be moved to the appropriate screen with the Esc key so that touches are not accidentally registered on a non-touch monitor.
Changing the screen resolution or orientation may interfere with the existing calibration. To maintain accuracy, it is advisable to recalibrate the touchscreen after each adjustment of the video settings so that the touch points again perfectly match the new display.
The calibration process is guided by an intuitive on-screen wizard. Through the Elo configuration screen, you launch the 'Align' function and are prompted to touch a series of targets. This structured approach makes calibration easy, even for users with no technical background.
The calibration tool is flexibly accessible both through the Elo icon in the system tray and through the standard Windows Control Panel. On some systems, it is necessary to run the tool as an administrator to ensure that the calibration data is stored correctly in the system.
The manual offers practical tips for common problems. For example, it recommends reinstalling the driver if targets do not disappear after touch, and stresses the importance of correct screen resolution and a clean screen to avoid interference.
The calibration process is designed for systems with multiple monitors. If the calibration targets appear on the wrong screen, the user can press the 'Esc' key. This moves the targets to the next screen until they appear on the correct Elo touch screen.
