5 Steps to Adjust Touch Settings in PCAP Touchscreens with ARGON Controller

Image
  A D Metro’s ARGON PCAP controller has emerged as a superior innovation in the touchscreen industry. This smart controller engineered and patented by A D Metro has effectively streamlined the   PCAP touchscreen   integration process, eliminating the need for tedious, complicated setup. There is no need for any software programming utility since the ARGON controller senses the PCAP touch sensor channels automatically to determine sensor size. It also sets orientation and optimizes sensitivity and touch threshold. Moreover, the ARGON PCAP controller allows you to easily configure the number of touches (1 to 10) and other touch parameters using its built-in setup feature. By pressing the ARGON ‘learn’ button and following the 4-quadrant-touch sequence, you can easily enable the touch system ready for use. At times, you may require additional adjustment of touch sensor settings. Considering this, A D Metro has designed the ARGON PCAP controller with two built-in features to adjust setting

A D Metro: Leading the Touchscreen Market with Two-Touch Resistive Controller

 With the fact that controllers play a crucial role in touch applications, A D Metro has scaled in the touchscreen market through its unique controller innovations like two-touch resistive controllers and smart ARGON PCAP controllers. Controllers are the main electronic interface that acts as a connector between the touch sensor and the device. Basically, a controller receives touch commands from the sensor and translates them into X, and Y coordinates that the graphic user interface (GUI) of the device can decipher.   These advanced controllers elevate the functionality of standard touch solutions and help manufacturers streamline their inventory. This blog focuses on two-touch resistive controllers that impart multi-touch functionality to resistive touch screens.    Standard resistive touch screens with one-touch resistive touch controllers offer advantages of easy integration, low total system cost, full EMC immunity, the ability to work when dirty, wet, or even when immersed in sa

Touchscreen Industry Trends to Dominate in 2024

Image
 The touchscreen landscape has evolved a lot over the years as various industries leverage the benefits of this innovative solution, and interactive touchscreen kiosks make up a big part of it. Touchscreen kiosks have, in fact, set a new standard for service delivery in different sectors. The projections indicate interactive kiosks will rise at a compound annual growth rate of 6.3%, reaching 39.1 billion dollars by 2027. Clearly stating that more businesses intend to use touchscreen kiosks.   According to studies, the retail segment will dominate the market as more establishments implement touchscreen kiosks. As a result, interactive touchscreen kiosks will be installed in more malls, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Furthermore, because the majority of retail businesses utilize their touchscreen kiosks indoors, indoor touchscreen kiosks will dominate the industry in 2024. As the leading manufacturer and supplier of innovative touchscreens, A D Metro is providing durable tou

How A D Metro’s Linear Correlating Touch Technology Has Revolutionized the Touch Screen Industry?

Image
  A D Metro is a well-known name in the touch screen industry for its exceptional and highly innovative touch solutions. The company has been delivering advanced touch screen solutions, for the most difficult applications, for more than 30 years. Linear Correlating Infrared TouchTechnology (LCIR) is A D Metro’s latest innovation, which raises the standard for infrared touch screens.    Traditional Infrared touch screens offer superior optical clarity while emitting negligible radio frequency (RF) emissions, however their functionality, and usage are impacted by strong or strobing sunlight. This LCIR offers the same optical and RF benefits but utilizes sophisticated optics and advanced signal processing to reliably deliver multi-touch functionality in applications that experience intense or strobing sunlight. LCIR technology has been developed, particularly, for the aviation and automotive industries, where intense sunlight interferes with display viewing.     LCIR touch sensor is

Three Simple Steps to Set Up an ARGON PCAP Touch System

Image
  With the ever-expanding market of touch screen applications, projected capacitive touch technology has become an obvious pick for graphical user interfaces. However, having a diverse product line, some manufacturers look for one controller capable of managing all sensor size needs but also require integrating PCAP touch screens. This may lead to costlier inventory and overall manufacturing. Considering this issue, A D Metro has developed an adaptive projected capacitive (PCAP) controller that makes using PCAP touch technology easier than ever. ARGON is an intelligent PCAP controller that automatically matches the connected sensor, without needing any software programming utility. The ARGON PCAP controller automatically detects sensor channels to determine their sizes. Moreover, it automatically sets orientation and optimizes sensitivity along with the touch threshold. ARGON is an intelligent controller that also allows easy setup of the number of touches (1 to 10) and adjusts other

2-Touch Resistive Controller: Making Multi-Touch Functionality Feasible For Demanding Applications

Image
  Multi-touch technology in devices offers a smart and interactive interface. Applications integrated with this technology can identify and simultaneously process multiple touch inputs via their touch-sensitive surface. The multi-touch technology enables intuitive accessibility, interactivity, and simultaneous usage by individuals. This ability to detect and track multiple touches in parallel provides numerous advantages for users. However, it entirely depends on the type of touchscreen used in the application. Manufacturers typically use projected capacitive touchscreens (PCAP) for multi-touch attributes. But for challenging environments like outdoor marine and military applications, where PCAP touchscreens cannot operate reliably, A D Metro has developed 2-touch resistive controllers.    A D Metro’s patented 2-touch resistive controller with 5-wire resistive sensors (standard or ULTRA) delivers a unique two-touch solution enabling pinch, zoom, and rotate functions in applications
