3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

To install MT 7 software:

1.Make sure you have completed the appropriate hardware connections. Serial controllers should be connected before you begin. USB controllers can be plugged in either before or after. The controller can then be automatically detected and there will be no need to reboot.

2.Power on your system. Make sure no other applications are open.

3.Download the MT 7 Software program from the www.3m.com/touch website. Unzip the file into a directory of your choice. Using Windows® Explorer, browse to that MT 7 folder and double-click the Setup.exe file.

4.Follow the onscreen instructions to begin the installation.

5.When prompted to choose the installation type, select whether to perform a Typical Install, Full Install, or Custom Install (or, if available, Upgrade).

During installation, you may get messages about finding new hardware. This is the MT7 driver searching your serial ports for touch controllers.

The Typical option automatically installs the minimum required MT 7 software files, creates a MT 7 program group and control panel.

If you choose Custom or Upgrade, you can select which components to install. The following components are available: Controller Support, User Interface and Utilities and Tools.

Driver Selection

3M Touch Systems offers drivers that leverage Microsoft Windows' native support for touch devices and mice. Because of this, a dialog appears during installation asking you to select a driver.

3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

10	3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

∙If this is a new installation, the default option reflects the driver that best suits your system.

∙If this is not a new installation, the chosen option reflects the driver you currently use.

Note that some systems may not show a touch digitizer driver option. This option appears only if your system supports Windows' Tablet PC. Tablet PC is supported on Windows® 7, Vista, and some XP operating systems.

Also, note that each driver presents different functions. Choose a driver based on what will suit your needs best.

Touch Digitizer- Has tablet features when used in conjunction with Windows 7. This includes flicking, an onscreen keyboard, and a press, hold, liftoff action for the rightclick function.

HID Mouse- Has right-click desktop button.

Legacy Mouse- Enables multi-display mapping and has right-click desktop button.

User Interface

The User Interface provides the following components:

∙The Control Panel is used to configure the sensor

∙The Help button launches a searchable PDF of this guide. (Linux® and CE both need their respective versions of PDF reader and Java.)

∙The Calibration Tool is recommended if you are not loading the Control Panel.

3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

Utilities and Tools

The Blank Cursor option enables you to hide the cursor. By selecting this, MT 7 Software installs a blank cursor on your system. To always hide the cursor, open the Windows® Control Panel, select mouse settings and t hen browse to the MicroTouch folder and select blank cursor.

Performing a Silent Install

If you have to perform multiple system installations, you may want to take advantage of the MT 7 software silent install.

To begin, you must create a silent install script that contains the recorded installation instructions. You create this script by running the Setup program in record mode. During a silent install, the Setup program receives input from the recorded install script rather than from a user. Once you record an installation script, you can run it on as many similar systems as you like.

The first step in producing a silent installation is to record your standard installation. Open a command line window and set your working directory to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows® setup program. Issue the comm and "setup -r" and run the installation normally.

When the installation finishes, it creates a recording file, setup.iss, in your Windows® system directory (such as C:\Windows). Copy this file to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows® setup program.

To run the silent installation, simply issue the command "setup -s". This replays the installation you recorded above.

3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

12	3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

Note that the silent installation fails if the installer reacts differently than when it was recorded. For example, if you record an installation using the "Upgrade" option and replay it on a system without MT 7 for Windows, the installation may fail. You should test the silent installation on all expected configurations.

Since the recording process creates a file, the MT 7 program must be on a hard drive and not on a CD-ROM. Once the file is created, you can make a CD-ROM, or equivalent media, with the distribution files and the setup.iss file. Your use of this CD-ROM is subject to the license agreement of this software. This feature does not give you the right to distribute this software if that right is not already granted to you by the license agreement.

Customizing Your Settings

Once you have installed MT 7 software, you can optimize the performance of the sensor using the MT 7 Control Panel. You can adjust settings for touch sounds, double-click speed, and double-click area (not applicable to WIN CE or Linux® systems).

Note: You can define touch settings using the MT 7 Control Panel. MT 7 stores the touch settings in the Windows® system registry. Whe never you save changes to the MT7 Control Panel, MT 7 software records the new settings in the system registry. These changes take effect immediately.

Uninstalling MT 7 Software

The Uninstall program removes all MT 7 software components from your computer. These components include MT 7 software files, directories, folders, and registry key items. The Uninstall program also removes all MT 7 software entries from the system registry files.

Note: For details on how to uninstall MT 7 for Windows® CE, Windows® XP

Embedded, and Linux, refer to Chapters 3, 4, and 5.

To uninstall MT 7 software:

1.Close MT 7 software if it is open.

2.Click on Start → Programs → MicroTouch MT 7 → Uninstall MT 7 Software

The path may be different if you performed a custom installation and chose a custom name for the MT 7 software program group.

3.Follow the onscreen instructions to remove MT 7 software. 3M Touch Systems strongly suggests you reboot your system when complete.

14	3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

Main Tab

This tab covers sensor calibration as well as basic support information.

Calibration

The calibration process aligns the sensor with the underlying video. Specifically, calibration defines the dimensions of the active area of the sensor and locates the center of the sensor. If the sensor is not calibrated, the active area of the sensor may not be aligned properly or may be unnecessarily small.

You should calibrate the sensor in the following cases:

∙Any time you change the size and position of the video image by adjusting the horizontal and vertical controls on your display.

∙Any time the cursor does not follow the movement of your finger, or does not reach the edges of the sensor. If you continue to need additional accuracy along the edges, use the Edge Adjustment tab.

3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

Calibrating the Sensor

1.Select the Main tab.

2.Click the Calibrate button.

Note: If you are using a stylus (pen) and you are in Pen/Finger mode, a dialog will ask whether you wish to calibrate using Pen or Finger. Calibrate using each option separately and when you are done, MT 7 will restore your touch mode to Pen/Finger.

3.A calibration target appears in the lower left corner of the sensor.

Note: If you press Escape or do not touch the sensor within twenty seconds, the system automatically cancels the calibration process with no change to the current settings.

4.Touch the sensor positioning your fingertip to completely cover the green target. This position is calculated upon liftoff and when you remove your finger, the target should turn red.

When touching the calibration target, make sure to:

∙Face the display directly.

∙Perform the calibration in the position (sitting or standing) you expect to normally use the sensor.

∙Touch the calibration target firmly and precisely with your fingertip. During Calibration, be careful to keep your fingernails and other fingers away from the sensor as you touch the target.

5.Repeat these instructions for additional calibration targets.

6.Once you have calibrated the sensor, a dialog box will appear to ask if you wish to test, accept or cancel this calibration.

∙If you select Accept, then the new calibration settings are automatically accepted.

∙If you select Test, then a Draw (refer to the Tools tab for more details) screen appears. When you exit Draw mode, a dialog will prompt, “Are you satisfied with the results?”

∙Selecting Yes will keep the new calibration settings.

∙Selecting No will restore the original (pre-calibration) settings.

∙If you select Cancel, the original settings will be restored without change

3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information – 25695M

16	3M™ MicroTouch™ Software MT 7 User Guide

Testing the Calibration

If you accidentally liftoff from the sensor in the wrong place during calibration, you will distort the sensor calibration. Test by touching several points on the sensor to make sure you are satisfied with the calibration results. The cursor should be located underneath your finger or pen when you touch the sensor. Repeat the Calibration process until you are satisfied. Recalibrate the sensor if any of the following tests fail. Touch random points on the sensor. The cursor should be located underneath your finger or pen when you touch the sensor.

∙Drag your finger across the sensor and check that the cursor follows your movements.

∙Touch each corner and along the edges of the sensor. Verify that the cursor reaches the full image area of the sensor. Be sure you can touch and activate all icons and menus across the entire sensor.

∙If you are using a pen stylus, be sure to perform the calibration procedure using the pen.

∙If you need to recalibrate the sensor, make sure to touch the targets carefully. It is possible that one of your touches did not register properly or you accidentally touched the sensor in the wrong place during calibration. For example, if you touch beyond the targets or into the non-image area, you will distort the sensor calibration.

Support Information

This information helps identify your system setup for troubleshooting purposes. If for any reason you need to call Technical Support, this information will be useful.

Controller ID

On the Main tab, this is an information-only field in a single controller situation – if you have more than one controller you can select the specific controller you want to adjust.

This field identifies the controller(s) attached to your system. It will display unique identifiers for each controller attached to your system in a drop box. When you select a controller from this list, the Controller tab will reflect only this controller – any changes will be made only to this controller.

∙USB controller values include USB00000001, USB00000002, or USB00000003.

∙For EX serial controllers values include PORTCOM1, PORTCOM2, PORTCOM3, etc.

∙For other serial controllers values include SER00000001, SER00000002, etc.

Note: If there are multiple controllers in use, then a dropdown menu will appear next to ‘Controller ID.’ Each controller may be calibrated separately by choosing a specific one from the dropdown menu and then hitting ‘Calibrate.’
