7 Touch screen calibration
B&R touch screen devices are equipped with a B&R touch controller that supports hardware calibration. As a
result, devices are pre-calibrated when delivered. This is an advantageous feature when replacing devices of the
same model or type since it avoids having to recalibrate the new device. Nevertheless, calibrating the device is still
recommended in order to achieve the best results and to better adapt the touch screen to the user's preferences.

Windows CE starts the touch screen calibration sequence during its first boot in its default configuration (i.e. de-
livered state).
