I am having an issue with the "Calibrate" button for an Elo-Touch system. The program is EloVa.exe and when i look in Ibercfg.bat the pathing appears to be be correct. (I Tested this by copying the path and pasting it into the "Run" box and the calibration program popped up with out an issue.

I get an error pop up window when trying to load it from IBER.EXE in the Functions > System > Calibrate button.

The message appears as follows...

Error in command line parameter

Parameter: [/HWND 65898] is invalid in command line ["C:\Program Files\ Elo TouchSystems\EloVa.exe" /HWND 65898],

When i look at Ibercfg.bat the entry for the calibration reads as follows...

SET CALIBRATE=C:\Program Files\Elo TouchSystems\Elova.exe

I cannot find where this additional entry is coming from. I am refering to the ([/HWND 65898]

If you have any suggestions i would greatly apprechiate it.

Thanks in advance.

 
When the FOH initializes the calibration routine, it uses the following command line:

x /HWND y

'x' represents the command line assigned to the CALIBRATE variable. '/HWND' are built in command line variables that are often ignored by the calibration application. 'y' is a number generated by Windows that acts as a 'handle' for the application, and it is generally ignored by the calibration application.

To view these variables first-hand, assign NOTEPAD.EXE to the CALIBRATE variable, and attempt to calibrate the touch screen from the FOH. This creates an error message that displays the command line parameters.

Although most calibration applications ignore these variables, they may affect some others. In this case, create a batch file called CALIB.BAT. Add the correct calibration command line to CALIB.BAT, and assign CALIB.BAT to the CALIBRATE variable.

 
Sorry for the late response. Thank you for the information it helped out. We were able to resolve this issue by creating a batch file and pointing the calibration at the batch file instead.

Problem Solved
