VersaView 5400 integrated display industrial computers are factory calibrated and
do not need field calibration. They are shipped with a specialized touch screen
driver (eGalaxTouch) and configuration utility that are optimized for single-touch
mouse emulation applications such as FactoryTalk® View.
VersaView 5200 integrated display thin clients must be configured and calibrated
via ThinManager® software. For more information on how to configure and
calibrate, see

WARNING: If the LCD screen darkens or if the backlight is not functioning
properly, the screen may be difficult to read and use of this screen could
result in a potentially hazardous outcome. Do not use the LCD touch screen
under these circumstances.
The design of the system must take into account the possibility of the LCD screen
or LCD touch screen losing functionality and unable to be used to maintain or
change control of the system. The touch screen shall not be the single point of
control of critical functions and is not intended to replace an E-stop.
Design of the system should follow all applicable code and good engineering
practice. Factors to consider include the following:
• The possibility of an unreadable LCD screen
• The possibility of an inoperable touch screen
• Unexpected communication errors or delays
• Operator error in the control of the system
• Proper use of E-stops and other safety practices
The user shall provide means to achieve a safe state during anomalies and verify
that the system has adequate redundancy for critical functions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
IMPORTANT ThinManager software only supports single-touch operation.
The USB touch screen driver module must be added to the terminal
configuration.
