Touch Screens, the most intuitive and user-friendly input devices available today, providing users an easy and effective means of communication with a computer. Simply touch the screen on a button or icon to make a selection and activate a process. The simplicity of its use sets Touch Screens apart from other input devices such as keyboards, joysticks or mice, especially for untrained computer users. Touch screens lend themselves to a variety of applications including point-of-sale, point-of-information, process control, kiosks, gaming, medical instrumentation, and others. Different kinds of technology are used in Touch Screen systems. They all have advantages and disadvantages. The TTX Touchscreen has an Analog Resistive glass screen with a transparent, thin film conductive coating fused to its surface. A thin Mylar Skin with a similar conductive coating is attached to the surface of the glass screen. When a finger makes contact with the screen’s surface, it pushes the Mylar film in contact with the glass screen and conducts a minute amount of current to the point of contact of the touch, which is relative to the distance the finger is from the edges of the screen. The controller measures this distance to compute the location of the touch. This Resistive technology has the advantage of being able to work with gloved hands for harsh environments or with stylus tips where precise pointing is required. The Touchscreen works with contact pressure rather than the electrical conduction of the user's finger as in capacitive technologies. You can also get our Touchscreen controllers configured for EloGraphics emulations as well.
