This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop an electrical integrated system interface for access through a touch screen.

It includes preparing and developing an integrated system touch screen interface. It also includes backing up, transferring and testing touch screen interface integrated system, working with customers to determine required control parameters, application of touch screen software components and embellishments, network connectivity, using diagnostic tools and documenting the developed systems.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
