This article outlines X, Y, and Z coordinates of an Elo touchscreen.

Touchscreens typically use a system of x, y, and sometimes z coordinates to track the location and movement of a user's touch or stylus input. Here's an explanation of each of these coordinates:

• X coordinate: The X coordinate represents the horizontal position of the touch on the screen. This coordinate is usually measured in pixels or inches, and is based on the location of the touch relative to the left or right edge of the screen.
• Y coordinate: The Y coordinate represents the vertical position of the touch on the screen. This coordinate is also usually measured in pixels or inches, and is based on the location of the touch relative to the top or bottom edge of the screen.
• Z coordinate: The Z coordinate, also known as the pressure or depth coordinate, represents the amount of pressure applied to the screen by the user's touch or stylus. This coordinate is often used to measure the level of force or pressure applied, which can be used for things like drawing or handwriting recognition.

Together, the x and y coordinates define the location of the touch on the screen, while the z coordinate provides additional information about the pressure or depth of the touch. These coordinates are typically reported by the touchscreen hardware to the device's operating system, which then uses this information to perform the desired actions, such as registering a button press or drawing a line on the screen.

It's worth noting that different touchscreen technologies may use slightly different methods for tracking and reporting touch coordinates. For example, some touchscreen technologies use a matrix of sensors to detect the location of the touch, while others use capacitive or resistive materials that can detect changes in electrical charge or pressure.
