The resistive panel works by applying a voltage gradient across one conductive layer and
measuring the voltage at the point of contact with the opposing conductive layer. For
instance, as shown in Figure 1-2, the resistive film acts as a series of resistors.
When a point is contacted, it means the two opposing conductive layers come into electrical
contact. The x position of actuation can be determined by measuring the output voltage of
the y layer. At the same time, the y position can be find out by measuring the x layer. The
exact position can be determined by referencing the output voltage to the distance relation-
ship.
