Paradigm P-TS18 Touchscreen Calibration
In the history of the Paradigm product family, there have been two hardware revisions of P-TS18 touchscreens:
- Rev 1 (7184A1551) uses resistive touch, and the display is sunk into the surround bezel. The display has a small amount of give under the pressure of your finger.
- The touch on rev 1 displays may occasionally need to be re-calibrated, but the process varies slightly in different software versions. Each is outlined below.
- Rev 2 (7184A1553) uses capacitive touch. The bezel and display both reside behind a flat piece of glass, so the entire unit is flat and smooth on the front.
- Just like your smartphone or tablet, the calibration on rev 2 is set at the factory and never needs to be adjusted. There is no user-accessible option for calibrating a rev 2 P-TS18.
Calibrate P-TS18 rev 1 in v2.x-3.x
A USB mouse may be required to click through menus if the calibration is too far off to push buttons and select menu options. If the P-TS18 is already in the Paradigm shell screen, skip to step 3.
- From your screen’s configuration, press and hold for 2-3 seconds (or right-click using a mouse) on a blank portion of the screen to bring up a context menu.
- Tap/click {Quit} to take you to the Paradigm shell screen.
- Press/click the Advanced tab at the top of the shell. Press/click the buttons on the on-screen keyboard to input "4116", without quotes, and {Enter} to continue.
- Press/click {Touch Calibration}, and then the {Tools} tab on the eGalaxTouch: USB Controller window.
- Press/click {Clear and Calibrate} to clear existing parameters and you’ll end up on a blank white screen with a red target in the bottom left corner.
- Press and hold on the middle of the red target. A blue percentage counter will count up, and you’ll hear an audible beep before a new target pops up. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 targets.
- Press {OK} to continue, and {OK} ok the eGalaxTouch: USB Controller screen to return to the Paradigm shell.
- Press the {General} tab, and then {Launch Virtual Touchscreen} to select your Paradigm Server, and finally {Connect} on your touchscreen configuration to return to normal operation.
