It
will be great having the calibration routine bundled with the system
setup screen. This would reduce installation time per unit, by having to
access only one area of the software to perform the setup
functions.
My
understanding, from Tab's explanation of the magic PCMCIA card, is that the
system would boot and operate from the image on that card. Would
this magic PCMCIA card allow changes to the "Internal Flash
Filesystem"? Settings made to the touch screen calibration need
to be flushed to the "Internal Flash Filesystem" to remain in
effect.

Another
area where keyboard navigation would be useful is during the manufacturing
process. When powering units for the first time, the calibration
settings are unknown.
There needs to be a method of selecting the
calibration function in case the initial touch screen calibration will not
allow activation of this function through the touch screen.
Calibration will be part of the initial setup
proceedure. Just like date and serial number. All touch devices
for example the Jornada work like this. Well, except for ours
currently.
Granted, manufacturing is ultimately going to need
under the hood now and then. This will probably involve something more
drastic though, like a magic PCMCIA card or
something.
The specs are
attached below.
Thanks.
