Notes
* This technology is currently unavailable in the United States
1 = incorrect (averaged) coordinate reported; = simultaneous touches rejected, nearly simultaneous touches reported accurately
2 Touch is closest to image as there is no overlay
3 Touch activates just before actual contact (1mm)
4 Only technology recommended for metal gloves
5 The utmost possible as there is no overlay
6 For LCDs only; plasma is not possible, due to EMI
7 Special sealing materials required (Elo touchmonitors are watertight sealed)
8 Assuming proper materials used
9 Although splashing liquids are OK, extended rain and humidity exposure can lead to internal condensation
10 Works with stationary water drops; excessive or moving water must be wiped away
11 Polyester coversheet may yellow after years of exposure
12 Required for food processing and some in-vehicle applications
No guarantee of acceptability of the technology to the application is
implied by this quick reference table
