calibrate the touch

To calibrate the touch interface of the Storz Autocom II 400 electrosurgical unit, you’ll generally need to follow these steps, though calibration can vary slightly depending on the software version. Here’s a general approach to recalibrate the touch controls:
Steps to Calibrate the Touch Interface:
Power Cycle the Device:
- Begin by turning off the Storz Autocom II 400 unit and allowing it to completely shut down. Then, turn it back on.
Enter Calibration Mode:
- Some models allow you to access the calibration menu by pressing a combination of buttons on the unit. For example, pressing and holding the "Power" and another function key while turning on the machine might trigger the touch calibration mode.
Follow On-Screen Instructions:
- Once in calibration mode, you’ll likely see crosshairs or target points displayed on the screen. Use a stylus or your finger to touch each target point as accurately as possible. The system uses these points to map out the touch input area.
Save Calibration Settings:
- After touching all the calibration points, the system should automatically save the settings and return to normal operation. If there’s a confirmation prompt, select "OK" or "Save."
Reboot and Test:
- After calibration, reboot the system and test the touch interface to ensure it responds accurately across the screen.
Additional Notes:
- If you can’t find the specific key combination to enter calibration mode, you should consult the Storz Autocom II 400 service manual. Calibration instructions should be clearly outlined in the manual.
- In some cases, if the touch calibration doesn’t resolve the issue, it could indicate a deeper hardware problem, such as a faulty touchscreen or controller board. If this is the case, you might need to contact the manufacturer or a certified technician for repairs.
