Touch Actions for Any Device

Used to apply Touch-Mode settings to any supported device in accordance with the touch-screen sensitivity required for an expected usage scenario.

IMPORTANT: Use this parameter only when no device-specific parameter exists for a target device AND ONLY when it is known that touch-screen sensitivity settings are supported on that device. Applying this parameter to a device that does not support touch-screen sensitivity settings results in unpredictable behavior, causes an error or produces no output in the Result XML to indicate failure.

Note: This feature is not supported on the TC8000. Changes to Touch Mode on the TC8000 are supported only manually through the Settings panel on the device.
