System Requirements

The M150 flat panel touch monitor requires a personal computer (PC). This touch monitor will not work with Apple Macintosh computers.

The requirements for your PC are as follows:

Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM) port or USB port. You connect the touch screen to this port.

Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for the monitor. If you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer to your computer documentation for instructions.

Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the touch screen COM port. The touch screen cannot share an IRQ with another device.

If the only serial port available on your PC has 25 pins, you will need a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.

When choosing your workspace, select a sturdy, level surface. Also, make sure you can easily access the back of the touch monitor and the computer. Easy access helps ensure a smooth setup of the touch monitor.
