Count Total Number of Readings

Count Total Number of Readings

Overview

The Count Number of Readings command shows how many sensor readings have been processed since the Touch Controller was powered on or last restarted.

This is useful for:

  • Detecting ongoing touch activity

  • Identifying false touches or noise

  • Monitoring sensor behavior over time

How to Check the Number of Readings

Run the following command:

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --tccount

Important Notes

  • The value represents sensor readings, not individual touch points.

  • If the count continues to increase when no one is touching the screen, this may indicate:

    • Electromagnetic interference (EMI)

    • Environmental noise

    • Incorrect Shield, Gain, or Threshold settings
