Installing the Driver Software
Elo TouchSystems provides driver software that allows your touchmonitor to work with your
computer. Drivers are located on the enclosed CD-ROM for the following operating systems:
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows Me
• Windows 98
• Windows 95
• Windows NT 4.0
The latest versions of drivers a nd driver inf ormation for other operating systems are availa ble on the
Elo T ouchSyste ms web site at www .elotouch.com.
Your Elo touchmonitor is Plug-and-Play compliant. Information on the video capa bilities of your

displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may use its defaults.
INST ALL create s directories a s necessary, a nd warns you if they exist.
If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing the earlier versions,
a nd overwrite the obsolete files. All executable progra ms are upward compatible. For a list of
differences from ea ch previous version of the drivers, be sure to select "Diff erences from Previous
Versions" during the installation process.

OPERATION
Y our touchmonitor will not likely require a djustment. V ari ations in video output a nd a pplication may
require adjustments to your touchmonitor to opti mize the quality of the display.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x
1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video perf ormance. For further information, please
refer to Appendix A.
All control a djustments are automatically memorized. This f eature saves you from having to re set
your choices every time you unplug or power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power
failure, your touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.

NATIVE RESOLUTION
The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to
perform best. For the LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the 17 inch size.
In almost all cases, screen i mage s look best when viewed at the ir native re solution. Y ou can lower
the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.

1280 x 1024(SXGA)Displays in Native Resolution
The native resolution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in the LCD by the
number of pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is usually represented by the following
symbols:
VGA640 x 480
SVGA800 x 600
XGA1024 x 768
SXGA1280 x 1024
UXGA1600 x 1200
A-25
As a n example, a SXGA resolution LCD pa nel ha s 1280 pixels horizontally by 1024 pixels vertically .
Input video is also represented by the same terms. SXGA input video has a format of 1280 pixels
horizontally by 1024 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format
match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input
video pixels to LCD pixels. As a n exa mple, the pixel in column 45 and row 26 of the input video is
in column 45 and row 26 of the LCD. For the case when the input video is at a lower resolution
tha n the native re solution of the LCD, the direct correspondence between the video pixels and the
LCD pixels is lost. The LCD controller ca n compute the correspondence between video pixels and
LCD pixels using algorithms contained on its controller. The a ccuracy of the algorithms determines
the fidelity of conversion of video pixels to LCD pixels. Poor fidelity conversion can result in
artifacts in the LCD displayed image such a s varying width characters.

A) Compliance is required with respect to the voltage, frequency , and current requirements
indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different power source than those
specified herein will likely result in i mproper operation, da mage to the equi pment or pose a fire
hazard if the limitations are not followed.
B) There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equi pment. There are hazardous voltages
generated by this equipment which constitute a safety hazard. Service should be provided only
by a qualified service technician.
C) This equi pment is provided with a detacha ble power cord which ha s an integral safety ground
wire intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
1) Do not substitute the cord with other than the provided approved type. Under no
circumsta nces use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet a s this will def eat the
continuity of the grounding wire.
2) The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the safety certification,
modification or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can result in serious injury or
death.
3) Contact a qualified electrici an or the manufacturer if there are questions about the
installation prior to connecting the equipment to mains power .
II. Emissions and Immunity Information
A) Notice to Users in the U nited States: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Cla ss B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasona ble protection against harmful interference in a residenti al installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and ca n ra di ate radio frequency energy , and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to ra dio
communications.
B) Notice to Users in Canada: This equi pment complies with the Cla ss B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus a s established by the Ra dio Interf erence Regulations of Industrie
Ca na da.
C) Notice to Users in the European Union: Use only the provided power cords and
interconnecting cabling provided with the equi pment. Substitution of provided cords a nd cabling
may compromise electrical safety or CE Mark Certification f or e missions or immunity as
required by the following standards:
39
This Information Technology Equipment (ITE) is required to have a CE Mark on the
manufacturer’s label which means that the equipment has been tested to the following Directives
a nd Standards:
This equipment has been tested to the requirements for the CE Mark as required by EMC
Directive 89/336/EEC indicated in European Standard EN 55022 Class B a nd the Low Voltage
Directive 73/23/EEC as indicated in Europea n Standard EN 60950.
D) General Inf ormation to all Users: This equi pment generates, uses and can radi ate radio
frequency energy . If not installed and used according to this manual the equipment may cause
interference with radio and television communications. There is, however, no guara ntee that
interference will not occur in a ny particular installation due to site-specific factors.
1) In order to meet emission and immunity requirements, the user must observe the following:
a) Use only the provided I/O cables to connect this digital device with any computer.
b) T o ensure compli ance, use only the provided manufacturer’s a pproved line cord.
c) The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly
approved by the party responsible for complia nce could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
2) If this equipment a ppears to cause interference with radio or television reception, or any other
device:
a) Verify as an emission source by turning the equipment off a nd on.
b) If you determine that this equipment is causing the interference, try to correct the
interference by using one or more of the following measures:
i) Move the digital device away from the affected receiver.
ii) Reposition (turn) the digital device with respect to the affected receiver.
ii i) Reorient the af f ected rece iver’s antenna.
iv) Plug the digital device into a different AC outlet so the digital device and the
receiver are on different branch circuits.
v) Disconnect and remove any I/O ca bles that the digital device does not use.
(Unterminated I/O cable s are a potenti al source of high RF e mission levels.)
vi) Plug the digital device into only a grounded outlet receptacle. Do not use AC
ada pter plugs. (Re moving or cutting the line cord ground may increa se RF e mission
levels and may also pre sent a lethal shock hazard to the user.)
If you need additional help, consult your dealer , manufacturer, or a n experienced radio or television
technician.
