1. Sometimes called Bell-shaped or Normal distribution.
One of the capacitive measurement point at which the sensor controller can detect capacitive
change.
See also node.
The patch of conductive material on the substrate that forms the sensor. An electrode is usually (but
not always) made from copper, carbon, silver ink, Orgacon™ or Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
An unexpected key detection caused by an interaction of the Y traces with the X traces. False
touches can occur anywhere that X and Y are too close and the field between them is allowed to be
influenced by touch. See
The situation in which a false touch is detected from the user’s hand as it is held over a sensor, rather
than from the user’s finger. This effect occurs when a sensor is particularly large in proportion to a
hand. It is a particular problem for large self-capacitance sliders and wheels. See

The peak-to-peak variance in the reported location for an axis when a fixed touch is applied. Typically
jitter is random in nature and has a Gaussian
jitter must be conducted over some period of time, typically a few seconds. Jitter is typically
measured as a percentage of the axis in question.
For example a 100 x 100 mm touchscreen that shows ±0.5 percent jitter in X and ±1 percent jitter in
Y would show a peak deviation from the average reported coordinate of ±0.5 mm in X and ±1 mm in
Y. Note that by defining the jitter relative to the average reported coordinate, effects of linearity are
ignored.
A simple zero-dimensional electrode arrangement whose capacitance changes when touched,
allowing touched or not-touched status (on or off) detection.
The logical X or Y line used for the detection of touches, as opposed to a physical trace.
