How to record a mouse click from a touch on a touch screen monitor

[Kip Myers]

I am trying to record reaction time in labview using a touch screen monitor during a reach to target task (space bar to screen). The screen does not register the touch as a mouse click. Does anyone know how to set the touch screen to record a single touch as a mouse click? Thanks for your help

If you have access to the event structure you can set it to look for mouse up or mouse down operations. It is very simple. You can look for a control or for the entire application. If you look up event structures in the LabVIEW help file you will see how they work. They are very simple. I use mouse up events all of the time in my touch software.

Hi,

I agree with Tim. You can use "Mouse Down" events to capture clicks in LabVIEW. See this tutorial for more details.
