INTRODUCTION
ShadowSense
ShadowSense™ touch technology is an innovative and patented position sensing technology. ShadowSense
designs use high performance sensors operating in the analog domain to provide unprecedented
performance, stability, and accuracy.
The best analogy for ShadowSense technology lies in the 6,000 year old sundial. The shadow cast by a sundial
instantly and accurately corresponds to the position of a light source without the use of lenses, with an infinite
depth of field and without the need for exposure control. ShadowSense technology exploits the same
characteristics for touch applications, resulting in one of the highest performance, most robust position
sensing solutions available.
Dashboard
ShadowSense algorithms offer a variety of parameters that can be used to customize the touch screen’s
performance. The Dashboard software tool provides customers with the ability to easily modify the behavior
of the touchscreen based on various use cases. It allows the user to adjust the performance and touch
characteristics of the touchscreen such as to provide spurious touch and palm rejection, debris and static
object recognition, rain and fluid cancellation and to enable/disable various features.
The Dashboard software utility offers three different top level views:
Diagnostic View – Displays LED and sensor information
Configuration View – Allows the user to configure the various touch screen parameters
Upgrade View – Allows the user to upgrade the firmware of the touch screen
