DeviceMap/TOUCH calibration doesn't work on Intermec 761?

HI,
I am trying to get an Intermec 761 device to skip the welcome screen
and just calibrate manually using the registry setting:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="2047,1987 993,933 3148,915 3103,3063 975,3059 "
"DriverName"="touch.dll"


I load this registry setting using the Intermec utility
ITCRegloader.exe on cold boot, then I warm boot and find that the
screen is unusable. I use values originally taken from the 761
registry. Note forward-slashes above are actually backslashes in the
.reg file.

This is working for me on the 760 devices but not on the 761. Any
insights? Thanks...

That makes sense. The whole point of calibration is to get settings
specific to the current piece of hardware. Due to variations in circuitry
and hardware you're not likely to find one set of values that works for
everything. Calibration should always be run on any new piece of hardware.

While I can appreciate the idea of removing the welcome wizard (we do that
for some of our projects), you are going to find that not all devices have
the same screen characteristics. We can kick off the calibration on first
boot (while still removing the rest of the welcome proceedure) by calling
TouchCalibrate via P/Invoke - more details here:-

Are those values definitely from a 761 that was calibrated normally? The 760
and 761 have different screen hardware, so values from a 760 probably won't
work on a 761.

Best regards,
Darren

I would expect a set of values captured from a device to work on that device
in the way you suggest. I'm afraid I am not familiar with ITCRegloader.exe
so cannot comment on whether using that
