1. Introduction
- It is a characteristic of analog touch panels that their resistance may vary with changes to the ambient environment (temperature and humidity) and with their own aging, resulting in the deviation of the detection point. If this is the case, calibrate the touch panel again to re-set calibration data.
- LCD may have a few bright spots that are always on or a few black spots that are always off. Color irregularity may also occur depending on the viewing angle. This however is due to the structural characteristics of the LCD; therefore, it is not a product fault.
- Burn-in on TFT Display “Burn-in” may occur if the same display is retained for a long time. Avoid this by periodically switching the display so that the same display is not maintained for a long time.
* Burn-In : Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a result of long-time display of the same
screen where a shadow-like trace persists because electric charge remains in the LCD

PT-E is incorporated with the touch panel driver that allows you to operate it by touching screen.
Default settings are made by factory before shipment.
Use "Touch Panel Driver Property” application to make calibration settings if necessary.

Calibration Settings

Calibration settings are used to adjust the recognized position when screen is touched.
There are two kinds of methods to do calibration setting. One is a setting that doesn’t use EEPROM calibration; another is a setting that uses EEPROM calibration in the calibration setting.
Calibration Settings When Not Using EEPROM Calibration
The setting that doesn’t use EEPROM calibration saves the calibration data in the Windows. When using the identical start-up disk, once made the setting at the beginning, not need to do calibration setting later. However, when exchange a start-up disk and if a touch position is shifted, do calibration setting again.

7. Resume Function/ EPC System Monitor

7. Resume Function/ EPC System Monitor

Resume Function

Resume function can keep PT-E operating regardless of the occurrence of instantaneous interruption or power failure and protect data by equipping a lithium ion battery pack (option) on PT-E. With EPC System Monitor, it is possible to choose [Continue mode] or [Standby mode] when power failure occurring and do time setting. Moreover, when battery voltage drop is detected or power supply is not restored after power failure, PT-E will go to shutdown automatically.
(1) Continue mode
a. When power failure is detected, PT-E keeps on operating, but backlight becomes OFF. (In
Continue mode, screen operation is unavailable.)
b. If power supply restores before passing the setting time (0 to 10 minutes), or power supply restores
before detecting battery voltage drop, backlight will become ON, and operation goes on. If power supply does not restore, goes to shutdown (*1).
c. If battery voltage drop is detected before passing setting time, PT-E goes to shutdown (*1).
(*1): You can set whether execute shutdown process or not. (Refer to p. 73)
(2) Standby mode
a. When power failure is detected, backlight becomes OFF, PT-E goes to standby state.
b. If power supply restores before passing the setting time (0 to 30 minutes), or power supply restores
before detecting battery voltage drop, standby state is released and PT-E restarts operation from the state right before power failure. If power supply does not restore, PT-E goes to shutdown.
c. If battery voltage drop is detected before passing setting time, PT-E goes to shutdown.
Point
(1) For using resume function, you must equip a lithium ion battery pack with PT-E.
(2) Before using resume function, always fully charges the lithium ion battery pack. (Continuously
charge the battery pack for eight hours and confirm [Charge end] by EPC System Monitor.)
(3) For using resume function, you must start software EPC System Monitor and do necessary settings.
(Refer to next page)
(4) Use EPC System Monitor to set operation time of [Continue mode] or [Standby mode].
(Refer to p. 68)
CAUTION
- In case of connecting external devices, if you are using resume function, the currents supplied to the
external devices should be under DC5V/1A.
- If connects external devices that supplying current more than DC5V/1A, over current detection of
lithium ion battery will work, so that Continue mode and Standby mode can not work normally. In this case recommend using an external UPS.
- If lithium ion battery is not full-charged, PT-E might go to shutdown operation even within the
specified time.
- If lithium ion battery is in the state of discharge (under 6.7V), resume function will not work.

(3) WDT (Watch Dog Timer) function
After starting EPC System Monitor, Windows application regularly executes WDT reset, if reset
operation is not executed after passing the setting time, system is regarded as abnormality, and WDT error signal is output.
(4) Alarm detection
Detect alarm of system temperature, CPU temperature, battery state and control voltage (power
supply voltage for internal circuit) etc.
(5) Event log
Output hardware monitor state change or occurred alarm information to a history file.

8. BIOS Setup

8. BIOS Setup Introduction
This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
1 By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2 By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON. If USB Keyboard Support is set to “Enabled”, restart can be initiated by pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.

In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

A Final Note About Setup

The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

Gate A20 option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20.
When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
Typematic Rate Setting
When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system. When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24 or 30 characters per second.

CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the system designer.
DRAM RAS# to CAS# delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
