Gain & Threshold

Gain & Threshold

The Gain setting adjusts the signal strength injected by the Touch Controller into the Touch Sensor. Values range from 0 to 7.
Thicker glass screens and larger Touch Sensors require a stronger signal (higher Gain value).

The Threshold setting adjusts the sensitivity level of what is considered a touch. Values range from 0 to 50.



How to adjust Gain and Threshold

  1. Set Gain to the lowest value (0) and wait 2 seconds. Note: Every time the Gain value is changed you need to wait 2 seconds before you can touch the screen (a "Do not touch" message will flash for 2 seconds).
  2. Touch the display, increasing the Threshold value until good touch performance is achieved. Drag the touch and continue to increase the Threshold value until dragging is continuous  and uninterrupted across the entire Touch Sensor, thoroughly testing the center and borders. When the drag color changes, it means touch detection had been lost.
  3. Once the Threshold reaches the maximum value (50), and good touch performance has not yet been achieved, increase the Gain by one value and repeat step 2.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary until you achieve a good touch experience.


Note: Once good touch performance is achieved, but you still notice false touches, please check the Shield feature.
