3.10 Display Screen Sensitivity Tool

For public disclosure
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
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
and deliberate as they were using resistive screens. With low sensitivity, the operator must
press firmly down on the display screen for a response.
