Count Number of Current Touches

Overview

The Current Number of Touches command reports how many touches are being detected at this exact moment.

This is particularly helpful for:

  • Detecting ghost or false touches

  • Verifying palm or object rejection

  • Monitoring live touch activity

How to Check Current Touch Count

Run the following command:

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --tcicount

Interpretation

  • A value greater than zero indicates active touches

  • A non-zero value with no user interaction may indicate EMI or incorrect tuning
