Reset Request 7 
This is a request to perform a controller reset. The standard hard or soft reset can be 
requested. Soft resets are generally required for any parameter changes to take effect. A 
soft reset results in the touch application using its initial (start-up) values.  
Table 14.  Reset Request

The direction bit in bmRequestType has been set to 0 (host-to-device). 
The byte bRequest is set to 7 to indicate that this is a Reset request. 
The wValue field is used to select the type of reset to be performed -- 1 for Soft Reset 
and 2 for Hard Reset. 
The wIndex field is not used. This field should be set to zero to ensure future 
compatibility. 
The wLength field is set to zero since there is no data phase for this request. 
Response 
Since the time to complete the soft reset can be more than 500 ms, the device 
acknowledges the request before it is completed. The host must issue a status request to 
determine whether the reset request was completed. The command status field of the 
status report will be set to “command in progress” while the soft reset is occurring. The 
field will change to “soft reset occurred” when the reset has completed. Any other request 
issued while the reset is still in progress will be ignored. 
The hard reset is executed immediately upon decoding of this request. The reset sequence 
begins by simulating a device disconnect from the host. A re-connect is then performed 
and the device must re-enumerate its connection with the host. Because of this, a 
response to the request cannot be sent prior to, or even after, the beginning of the reset 
sequence.
