Zytronic simplifies installation of touchscreens

The ZyConfig smart set-up tool introduces a sequential approach.

Firstly, the software automatically scans touchscreen and controller to check integrity and stability of the system on a number of factors, such as system noise levels, controller and sensor operation.

These checked criteria are shown as a ’pass’, ‘warning’ or ‘fail’, depending on their condition.

The next step involves a basic set up routine where the user touches defined points displayed on the screen. This optimises the touchscreen controller sensitivity settings, detecting ambient EMI and adjusting the “noise” filters to suit, and determining appropriate responsiveness to an applied touch without the need for the user to manually set any complex parameters.

Finally, a touch calibration follows to ensure the controller coordinates are mapped corrected to the LCD image on the screen.

It will initially support users of Zytronic’s ZXY200 multi-touch controller, with support being extended to users of the singe/dual touch ZXY100 controller in the coming months.

As well as supporting Window 7 and Window 8, the software can also be installed for use with the later Linux operating system kernels.

The ZyConfig package is completely free and available to download from the Zytronic website
