System Requirements
The following are basic requirements for using the Touch Monitor. Please check the specifications and Supported Video Timing section of this Users Guide for specifics.
∙This touch monitor requires connection to a personal computer. Both industry standard architecture and Macintosh hardware is supported.
∙Various Operating System versions are supported for touch input operation. Please check the product features and specifications to insure that the OS you intend to use is supported. The included software installation disc contains the proper drivers for supported Operating Systems and devices.
∙An analog, VESA standard video card for the PC is required. This touch monitor complies with DPMS and Plug & Play (DDC) standards.
∙The personal computer will require either a standard 9 pin serial COM port or USB port, depending on the product version of the touch monitor. If the serial COM port is a 25 pin,
∙There should be enough electrical outlets to support the system installation. This would include the calculation of total current requirements. Although not a strict requirement, a surge protected power source is recommended.
Mounting
The Touch Monitor may be used on any work surface by placing it on its supplied stand.
In addition, this product is provided with permanent mounting capabilities. The rear of the main display body has mounting holes configured to conform to the VESA mounting standard. Typically, this mounting pattern allows the Touch Monitor to be installed on movable arms and specialized mobile equipment.
Alternatively, there are slotted mounting holes on the bottom of the product pedestal which will facilitate permanent installation of this product to walls, countertops and custom installations. Typically, this mounting pattern is used to attach the Touch Monitor to a counter in a permanent position. This mounting scheme may provide the most secure and stable mounting environment.
Using any mounting method, consideration should be given to placement relative to cable length, power sources and cable routing.
Using Touch Input
The surface of this LCD Touch Monitor is a touch sensor. Some degree of caution is required to insure the effectiveness and long life as an input device. Avoid using sharp objects such as pens, pencils, scissors or screwdrivers as a pointing stylus. After installation of the driver software, a calibration should be performed. This action insures that the graphic coordinates match the touch coordinates, sometimes called mapping.
Different software applications may require specific “mouse click” parameters. The touch control panel will allow selection of multiple types of mouse button actions.
