Display Screen Sensitivity Tool

The QuickPanel 7", 10", 12", and 15" display units use capacitive screen technology that is far more responsive than the
+
previously used resistive touchscreen technology. Resistive screens required the operator to firmly press down on the
resistive overlay for a response. Capacitive screens rely on the capacitive properties of the operators finger pressing
lightly on the screen.
If the operator is wearing gloves, this can affect the operation of the capacitive screens. The thickness of the glove
keeps the operator's finger slightly further from the screen. To accommodate gloved operation, the Sensitivity Tool
allows the screen sensitivity to be set to a higher level. Setting the screen sensitivity to High enables the QuickPanel
display screen to operate with the user wearing most types of work gloves. For thicker gloves, the user may need to
press down more firmly to place
the finger closer to the screen, which causes the finger pad to spread out slightly to make a larger capacitive area.
Note Gloved operation works best when the operator is wearing gloves that fit. If the fingers do not extend to the end
of the glove, the empty space at the fingertip may make it difficult to operate the display screen while wearing gloves.
Setting the screen sensitivity to Low enables the QuickPanel
using resistive screens. With low sensitivity, the operator must press firmly down on the display screen for a response.
