Mcgs: Hmi Touch Calibration
Whether you are dealing with a resistive touch screen (which drifts over time due to temperature and wear) or a capacitive screen, recalibration is straightforward. Here is how to do it.

| Symptom | Likely Fix | | :--- | :--- | | Crosshair jumps away from finger | Your screen has a dead zone. Try cleaning with a microfiber cloth. If persists, replace the touch overlay. | | Calibration completes, but returns to wrong screen | You tapped the crosshair off-center. Re-do calibration slowly using a stylus (not your fingertip for resistive screens). | | No "System Setting" on boot | Your project is set to "Auto-run" with no menu. Use (press and hold during boot) to bypass autoload. | | Pointer moves opposite direction | Firmware corruption. Download the latest firmware from Kinco/Weinview and re-flash via USB. | Whether you are dealing with a resistive touch
One of the most frustrating issues on the factory floor is a misaligned touch screen. You press "Start," but the HMI registers a press on "Stop." On MCGS (Modern Chinese Graphics System) HMI panels—widely used with昆仑通态 (Kunlun Tongtai) and Weintek hardware—this is usually a calibration issue, not a hardware failure.
