Things to Try:
— Alter the proximity and detect thresholds using the pull down menus to change the sensitivity to
proximity and touch. The higher the threshold, the less sensitive the E401 will become.
— Change the rate of environmental drift compensation with the DRIFT RATE dropdown. This
affects how fast the sensor will compensate for slow environmental changes. Normally this should
be set to a very slow rate (once per 3 or 4 seconds). Faster rates can cause complications with
proximity and touch detection.
Make sure the USB adapter box is NOT plugged into your PC at this time.
Connect the E401 to the USB box with the red USB-SPI cable
Connect the USB adapter to your running PC and wait at least 10 seconds so that the
USB adaptor is properly recognized. The USB box’s LED should come on solid.
Run the QSlide™ software (Qslide_V[x].exe) which should be on your desktop or other
location where you copied it. See next page for details.
With your hands far removed from the E401: Click on the FIXED CAL button first, then
after 1 or 2 seconds, the ADAPTIVE CAL button.
Slowly move your hand towards the slider. The proximity alert status box will indicate
when your hand is still several cm away from the panel.
Touch the slider area with a finger. You can either slide your finger across the surface or
touch the slider at any point. When you remove your finger, the last position touched will
be locked on the display.
