Factory Reset

Overview

The Factory Reset feature allows you to restore a DISPLAX Touch Controller to its original factory default settings using DISPLAX Service.

This action resets all configuration parameters and calibration data stored on the Touch Controller, returning it to a clean default state.

Factory Reset is useful when:

  • Troubleshooting persistent or unstable touch behavior

  • Preparing a Touch Controller for a new installation

  • Removing previous calibration or custom settings

  • Recovering from incorrect parameter changes

Important Notes Before Resetting

⚠️ Warning:
A factory reset will permanently erase:

  • Calibration data

  • Customized touch settings

  • Parameter adjustments

After resetting, recalibration will be required before normal operation.

Parameter Explanation
