For a proper placement of the touch screen dialog the following settings can be made: - Main: The touch screen will be placed on the same display as the Teatro main page.
Additional information Hardware The Teatro touchscreen TS-1 comes with a pressure sensitive TFT display of the newest generation. The TFT display itself was built and supplied by the renowned company „Elo TouchSystems“ (www.elotouch.com). You may know that older touchscreens in earlier years could only detect the touch of a finger while measuring the resistance of the skin, which in some cases could lead to a situation where it was not possible to detect the touch properly and generate errors while using the touchscreen.
