+A calibration program “touchcal” is provided to calibrate the touch screen and to manage tickets, serial i/o, and menu customization.
+
+Select “1” to perform the calibration. This will place a target at each corner of the display and wait for a touch. Best accuracy will be obtained using a stylus. When complete a calibration file touchcal.dat is written. Apps may call the fuction read_touch_cal in the library “touch.cpp” module to read the calibration information. The function read_touch in touch.cpp will then adjust the values obtained by the driver /dev/cardtouch to appropriate pixel coordinates X = 0 – 639 Y = 0 – 479 based on the calibration.
+
+Select “2” to display a tracking screen to verify the correct operation of the touch screen. Press “ESC” to exit from this screen.
+
+Select “3” to select color mode.
+
+Select “4” to configure the weight server.

+At the “Reboot” prompt select “Yes” to show the “Return to Startup” option on the application menu.
+
+The “Auto run” prompt may be used to specify a menu item to automatically start. When specified the “Auto run secs” prompt will appear to set the number of seconds before the item starts. This feature automatically reads the appmenu.cfg file and writes changes to the appmenu.cfg file.
+
+Select “2” to configure custom menu items.

+
+cd /mnt/nand/bin
