USB-controlled IPCT evaluation tool
Display Solution has introduced Evervision Electronics Europe’s new IPCT (Improved Projected Capacitive Touchpanel) Evaluation Tool, which allows users to adjust the key parameter in order to integrate the PCAP Panel into the application. The adjustment tool comes with a USB Bridge Board controlling the IPCT from a notebook via the USB and software which can be easily installed and operated with its intuitive interface.
It offers users the ability to change the values for Threshold, Gain, Offset X and Offset Y. If a cover glass is required, the IPCT can have the function as a touch sensor and this adaption can be realized by adjusting the parameters. Also the use of gloves is possible using this adjustment procedure.
The X / Y parameter adjustment can become necessary when using the cover glass. The weaker touch signals close to the edges leads to the reduction of active area of the IPCT. The X / Y offset compensates for this phenomenon in order to obtain the full active area again.
The self-explanatory Tool Menu is easy to handle and displays the touch occurences of the IPCT. A maximum of ten touch points can be shown by separate colours, allowing a quick judgement and quality of the touch detection.
Display Solution offers Evervision`s standalone standard IPCT’s at sizes from 3.5in. to 10.2in.. Larger sizes from 10.4in. to 17.0in. will be handled, on a case by case basis, upon request.
