Multiple Monitors supports from two to six touch screen displays for one system.
The PenMount drivers for Windows 2000/XP support Multiple Monitors. This
function supports from two to six touch screen displays for one system. Each
monitor requires its own PenMount touch screen control board, either installed
inside the display or in a central unit. The PenMount control boards must be
connected to the computer COM ports via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation
procedures are the same as for a single monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the
following modes:
Windows Extend Monitor Function
Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
nVidia nView Function
