Defines controller firmware settings

 

The firmware dialog shows the firmware version release, allows firmware settings to be updated and for the sensor to be tested.

This firmware page describes the firmware options for the Zytronic, X-Y controllers.

Function

Description

 Firmware version

This provides the controller firmware version release, serial number and controller type.


Initiates a normalisation of the sensor array wire levels.


Displays the x and y sensor wire array matrix levels.   Applying a touch to the sensor will register a response in the x and y wires levels.  This graph can be used to determine the correct operation of all the wires within the sensor.  This can be done by applying a touch to the sensor and moving your finger left to right then top to bottom over the sensor.   All wires should register a peak relative to your finger movement across the sensor.  Please note: touch operation is disabled when the Test Sensor page is open.  The Test Sensor page can be terminated by using the Escape key via a connected keyboard or a mouse to press the Close button located in the bottom right hand corner of the page.

 Threshold

This allows the sensitivity of the sensor to an applied touch to be increased or decreased.   Lower values provide greater sensitivity and higher values provide reduced sensitivity.  Default value is 22.


Initiates a controller firmware reset.


 Glass Thickness

The controller can be adjusted using this setting to operate through various overlay thicknesses.  Available options are Thin, Medium and Thick.   The Medium setting is the default.  These settings operate on time averaging of captured data from the sensor, hence the thicker the overlay, the sensor response time is reduced due to the greater time interval of data captured.  These options should be used in conjunction with the Threshold setting adjustment to obtain optimum operation when using various thicknesses of overlays.


This restores the factory firmware default settings.
