TouchScreen.
IMPORTANT:
Once a sensor or peripheral has been paired to a TouchScreen, it MUST be deleted
from that TouchScreen before it can be paired to a different TouchScreen. When a
sensor is deleted from a TouchScreen, it is reset automatically to factory defaults and
is placed in Search mode, ready to be paired with another TouchScreen. It is possible
to pair a device to a second TouchScreen without deleting it from the original, but this
could result in the paired device not being registered in the server databases. This
situation is most often encountered in lab environments where TouchScreens and
sensors/peripherals are often swapped back and forth on a regular basis.
