Running the test

Before you run the test, complete the test setup as described in the test requirements: Mouse or other Pointing Device Testing Prerequisites.

This test requires very precise movement in a straight line. We recommend that you perform this test by using a precision rig or other precision device that is capable of straight line movement without any jitter.

  1. Place a precision contact slightly outside the left edge of the touchpad.

  2. Drag the contact in a straight line from left to the right across the touchpad.

  3. Drag the contact the other direction from right to left.

  4. Repeat this pattern for a total of five iterations.

Troubleshooting

Error Description/Workaround

[15] contact didn’t move in straight line

Reported path strayed varied from a straight line by more than the allowed tolerance.

[14] packet too far from edge: ###

  • Swipe must start at or before the edge.

  • Swipe must go all the way to the opposite edge. Performing swipe too quickly might not allow the device to fully report.
