Right-click on Elo's <USB Input Device>, and follow these steps:

Choose the correct entry (For Example, "Elo Touch Solutions Touchscreen 0x22 2515U IT Plus")

Click "Next" to complete the installation.

Identify Elo device under "HID-compliant consumer control device", and repeat steps a through g above, but at step f, choose "Elo Touch Solutions Touch Screen - USB HID MT Collection”.

6.1.2 Uninstallation

To uninstall Elo drivers from the Device Manager, right-click on "Elo Touch Solutions Touch Screen - USB HID MT Collection", and select Uninstall. Repeat process for "Elo Touch Solutions Touch Screen 0x22 2515U IT Plus".

You may need to manually refresh the device list (at root level, choose "Scan for hardware changes") to get the device status updated to system defaults. It may take a while (10 - 30 sec) for the "USB Input Device" and "HID-compliant consumer control device" to get restored.

6.2 Sending Smartset Commands

Users can specify Smartset commands in EloOptions.ini to be sent to the controller whenever Elo's device driver is loaded. This feature applies to Elo touch screens using USB or Serial (RS-232) interface with Elo's device driver installed.

6.2.1 Format of the Smartset Command in EloOptions.ini:

Specify Smartset Commands under section [Smartset Commands]. Smartset commands listed under this section will be sent each time Elo's device driver is loaded. This happens when the system reboots; or for USB interface, when the USB cable is re-plugged in.

Each Smartset Command takes one line. Below is an example line of a Smartset command (n1 to n8 are decimal numbers):

my_ss_command = n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6 n7 n8

In the example above, "my_ss_command" is the string you name this line of Smartset commands.

The contents of each Smartset Command must be in 8 positive DECIMAL numbers (<= 255)
