4.2.3 Driver Installation - DOS

¾Using “INSTALL.EXE” Utility to Install PenMount Software Driver

1.Insert Driver CD and select the Panel series\P1173- 841\Driver\Step5 - Touch\Driver\DOS\Install.exe

2.Press ENTER key to install the drivers to drive C or use keyboard to key-in the hard disc drive that you plan to install the driver.

3.The driver will ask “Do you want to modify your Autoexec.bat to initialize PenMount? (Y/N)” Suggest you choose “YES” for generating the initialization instructions in AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Then follow up the instructions to complete the installation.

¾Identify the Communication Port and IRQ Number

1.For the first time installation, or changing PenMount Touch Screen’s COM port, use PMDETECT (e.g. C:\PENMOUNT\PMDETECT) to check the COM port and IRQ number. PMDETECT will save the correct data to PMOUSE.CFG file for further use.

2.The driver detects your communication COM port and IRQ number from COM1 IRQ4, COM2 IRQ3, COM3…. to COM4 IRQ15. PenMount driver can find the COM port and IRQ number automatically. The screen will then show:

PenMount is initialized successfully!!! Create file “pmouse.cfg”. Success. PenMount internal settings:

Comm. Port: COM<n> IRQ<n>

..........

3.PMDETECT program is able to skip the IRQ number detecting if the Touchscreen Driver Installation 13 does not need to detect the specified IRQ number. For example, you do not need to detect IRQ5, and the command is:

C:\PENMOUNT\PMDETECT -N5

4. If you do not need to detect IRQ5 and IRQ9, the command is:
