Figure 5-2. Touch Coordinate Test Screen (Coordinate Reporting)
The Touch Mode defines what is meant by a touch. For example, does a 
touch occur when the stylus enters the active area of the touch screen or 
when it leaves the active area? Select the various touch modes, as 
explained in the next few paragraphs, to test that x, y coordinates are 
reported properly. 
Tracking Mode
In 
Tracking Mode
, touches are reported as long as a stylus is moving in 
the active area of the touch screen; reporting stops when the stylus is 
stationary, and resumes with stylus movement. To use

type T.
When a stylus touches the touch screen, a small tracking box appears 
beneath the touch point and the x, y coordinates of the touch point are 
displayed in X = and Y = fields at the top of the screen. As a stylus 
moves around the touch screen, the tracking box follows it and the 
coordinates in the X = and Y = fields are updated to reflect the position 
of the new touch point.
Note that there is a small, stationary bar across the upper third of the 
tracking box. This indicates that coordinate reporting occurs whenever 
the stylus moves, but ceases when the stylus remains stationary.
To check the entire range of touch coordinates, move a stylus along the 
perimeter of the touch screen, making sure that the x coordinate
