Elo Enhances AccuTouch Edge Accuracy
Elo TouchSystems, Inc., has announced ZBorder, one of a series of enhancements to its popular AccuTouch fivewire resistive touch technology. ZBorder, a new patentpending electrode pattern, significantly improves linearity performance by providing a more precise straight edge for greater touch accuracy in the corners of the screen.
"Users of Microsoft Windows will find ZBorder particularly beneficial," says Michael Bartelmess, Elo's European Director of Product Management. "The new enhanced edge accuracy makes it easier to select the tiny close window box in the upperright corner of the screen." According to Bartelmess, the improved positional accuracy available with the new ZBorder electrode pattern has made it possible to reduce error margins from 1.5 percent to as low as 1 percent. Other features include:
Tougher, Clear Separator Dots
With new ink and other process changes, Elo's AccuTouch fivewire technology will now have an even more durable separator dot matrix. The new clear dots technology will ensure that the physical dots are less visible when the display is powered on. "The new dot technology is part of our ongoing drive to provide users with the clearest, most durable resistive touch technology possible," says Bartelmess.
COACh IIs Controller Chip
Elo's COACh IIs chip operates at both 3.3 V and 5 V and is packaged with a small footprint of 12.15mm by 12.15mm. It also incorporates a powerdown mode in which power consumption can be reduced by as much as 95 percent. The compact size, lower operating voltage, and reduced power consumption of the COACh IIs make it the perfect partner for Elo's AccuTouch fivewire resistive touchscreens, and batterypowered applications. The COACh IIs is also fully compatible with Elo's SmartSet protocol and all of Elo's standard software drivers.
2215 Mini Serial Controller
The new 2215 serial controller board is about half the size (60.325 mm x 31.75 mm) of the existing 2210 controller, but is 100% software compatible as it uses the new COACh II chip with powerdown mode and Elo's standard SmartSet protocol and drivers.
