Setting up Switch Scanning
As an alternative to directly choosing each button on the
screen, TouchChat offers the ability to use single and two
switch scanning via Bluetooth AeroSwitch and standard
wired switches plugged into device switch jack A or B. The
touchscreen itself can be used as a single switch.
