2-16 Elo Entuitive Touchmonitor User Guide

Installing the Serial Touch Driver for MS-DOS and Windows 3.1

You must have a DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) installed for your mouse if you wish to continue using your mouse along with your touchmonitor in DOS.

To install Windows 3.x and MS-DOS from Windows 95/98, follow the directions below:

1 Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive. 2 From DOS, type d:\EloDos_W31 to change to the correct directory on the

CD-ROM (your CD-ROM drive may be mapped to a different drive letter).

3 Type install and press Enter to start the installation. 4 Align the touchscreen.

You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Elo DOS and Windows Driver Guide as necessary for additional installation information.

To run the INSTALL program:

1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver

install files.

2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose

d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.

3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may

use its defaults. INSTALL creates directories as necessary, and warns you if they exist.

If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs are upward compatible. For a list of differences from each previous version of the drivers, be sure to select "Differences from Previous Versions" during the installation process.

INSTALL updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select. INSTALL makes a copy of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, called AUTOEXEC.OLD. If you already have Elo driver commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.

When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdirectory you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.

If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

About Touchmonitor Adjustments

Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output and application may require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.

For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x 1024 at 60-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.

ATIVE

The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the SXGA-17 inch size. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.

Input Video 17" LCD

640x480 (VGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024 800x600 (SVGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024 1024x768 (XGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024 1280x1024 (SXGA) Displays in Native Resolution

ESOLUTION

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:

VGA SVGA XGA SXGA UXGA

640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200

A-25

As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 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 an example, 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 than the native resolution of the LCD, the direct correspondence between the video pixels and the LCD pixels is lost. The LCD controller can compute the correspondence between video pixels and LCD pixels using algorithms contained on its controller. The accuracy 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 as varying width characters.

Figure 1-1. Port-Powered Swipe Reader

SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Port Powered Swipe Reader is a compact magnetic stripe card reader which conforms to ISO/ANSI standards. The Reader is compatible with the PC series of personal computers or any device with a serial RS-232 interface. A card is read by sliding it, stripe down and facing the LED side, through the slot either forward or backward.

A green LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator on the Reader panel provides the operator with continuous status of the Reader operations.

When power is applied, the Reader transmits a sign-on ID message. About 150 milliseconds after DTR is applied, the Reader sends the part number of the firmware in the following form: 21088819A01 <CR>. The first 8 characters indicate the firmware number; the letter is the revision, which is followed by a revision sublevel of 01 to 99. The <CR> indicates carriage return (0x0D). The sign-on messages for part numbers are listed in Section 3. Timing is also shown in Section 3.

Since the input voltage is supplied by a relatively low source of power, the Reader depends on its input capacitor to maintain proper charge during all operations. In order to reduce the drain on this internal power source during data transmission, the output data is transmitted in 5 to 6 millisecond bursts with a 10-millisecond gap between bursts to allow the capacitor to recharge. The PC software should be able to tolerate this 10-millisecond space between characters. The Timing is shown is Section 3, Figure 3-1. Configurations, including part numbers, firmware, tracks, and unit configuration, are listed in Section 3, Table 3-2.

MAG-TEK DEVICE DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS

The Mag-Tek Device Drivers for Windows, Part Number 30037385, may be used with the Port Powered Swipe Reader. When this program is used, refer to Mag-Tek Device Driver for Windows, Programming Reference Manual, Part Number 99875125.

MOUNTING

1. The Reader can be mounted on a surface in three ways:

• By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and running the

cable on the top of the surface;

• By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and by drilling a

hole in the surface for the cable and running the cable through the hole;

• By attaching the unit to the surface with fastening tape and running the cable on the top

of the surface.

Note

The two mounting inserts are 3 mm diameter; 0.5 mm pitch; 6.4 mm deep. The length of the screws used depends on the mounting surface thickness and the thickness of washers (if used).

The mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1. Determine the method of mounting required.

2. Ensure the Reader is positioned on a flat, accessible surface with at least 4 inches clearance on either end for room to swipe a card. Orient the Reader so the side with the LED is facing the direction of intended use.

If fastening tape is to be used, clean the area that the Reader will be mounted on with isopropyl alcohol. Remove the adhesive protective cover on the fastening tape, and position the Reader and push down firmly.

1. Connect the Swipe Reader cable connector into a 9-pin serial Com Port on the PC. If a 25-pin Adapter is required, plug the 9-pin connector on the Reader into the Adapter, and the adapter into the PC.

2. Open a communications program such as the Mag-Tek Encoder/Reader Demonstration Program, which may be obtained from the Internet at www.magtek.com. Navigate to the Demo Programs and select Reader & Encoder Demos (Win 95/98/NT).

3. On the program, select the Com Port the Reader is connected to.

4. If the Com Port selected is correct, the green LED on the Reader will light; if the wrong Com Port is selected, the LED will not light.

5. Select the baud rate of 9600.

Section 2. Installation

6. Select 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

7. With the LED on, swipe a card. The data on the screen will show Track 1 beginning with “%” and ending with “?”. Track 2 begins with “;” and ends with “?”. Track 3 begins with “+” (normal) or "!" (CDL) and ends with “?”. The following is an example:

%B123^Smith/Joann^9812101000?;112222333333444444444?<0x0D>

If a track cannot be read, an E will appear in place of the track data; for example, if Track 2 is bad and Tracks 1 and 3 are good, the display will be similar to the following:

%11111111111111111111?;E?+3333333333333333333?<0x0D>

If Tracks 1 and 3 are bad and Track 2 is good, the display will be similar to the following:

%E?;22222222222222222222?+E?<0x0D>

8. If the data on the screen is not numeric or alphanumeric similar to the above, check the communications rate. If the alphanumeric characters are similar to the above, the unit is ready for operation.

SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) Swipe Reader is a compact magnetic stripe card reader which conforms to ISO standards. The Reader is compatible with the PC series of personal computers or any device with a USB interface. A card is read by sliding it, stripe down and facing the LED side, through the slot either forward or backward.

A LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator on the Reader panel provides the operator with continuous status of the Reader operations.

The reader conforms to the USB Human Interface Device (HID) Class specification Version 1.1. This allows host applications designed for the latest versions of Windows 98, Me, 2000 to easily communicate to the device using standard Windows API calls that communicate to the device through the HID driver that comes with Windows.

Unlike HID keyboard emulation readers, this device does not use keyboard emulation. It behaves like a vendor defined HID device so that a direct communication path can be established between the Host application and the device without interference such as keystrokes from other HID devices.

A demo program with its source code is available, written in Visual Basic, that exercises the device using the standard Windows API.

WINDOWS PLUG AND PLAY SETUP

On hosts with the Windows operating system, the first time the device is plugged into a specific USB port, Windows will pop up a dialog box, which will guide you through the process of installing a device driver for the device. After this process is completed once, Windows will no longer request this process as long as the device is plugged into the same USB port. The device driver that Windows will install for this device is the driver used for HID devices and it is part of the Windows operating system. When the dialog box pops up, follow the instructions given to you in the dialog box. Sometimes Windows will find all the files it needs on its own without giving you any prompts. Other times Windows will need to know the location of the files it needs. If Windows prompts you for the file locations, insert the CD that was used to install Windows on your PC and point Windows to the root directory of the CD. Windows should find all the files it needs there.

MOUNTING

The Reader may be mounted with screws or fastening tape as described below.

Caution

The Reader should be mounted such that the bottom (mounting side) is not exposed to the user. This is because the mounting side of the reader may be susceptible to electrostatic discharge.

1. The Reader can be mounted on a surface in three ways:

• By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and running

the cable on the top of the surface;

• By two screws through the surface attached to the bottom of the unit and by

drilling a hole in the surface for the cable and running the cable through the hole;

• By attaching the unit to the surface with fastening tape and running the cable on

the top of the surface.

Note

The two mounting inserts are 3 mm diameter; 0.5 mm pitch; 6.4 mm deep. The length of the screws used depends on the mounting surface thickness and the thickness of washers (if used).

The mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 2-2. Determine the method of mounting required.

SECTION 3. OPERATION

This section describes the LED Indicator and Card Read.

LED INDICATOR

The LED indicator will be either off, red, or green. When the device is not powered, the LED will be off. When the device is first plugged in, the LED will be red. As soon as the device is plugged in, the host will try to enumerate the device. Once the device is enumerated the LED will turn green indicating that the device is ready for use. When a card is being swiped, the LED will turn off temporarily until the swipe is completed. If there are no errors decoding the card data then the LED will turn green. If there are any errors decoding the card data, the LED will turn red for approximately two seconds to indicate that an error occurred and then turn green. Anytime the host puts the device into suspend mode, the LED will turn off. Once the host takes the device out of suspend mode, the LED will return to the state it was in prior to entering suspend mode.

CARD READ

A card may be swiped through the Reader slot when the LED is green. The magnetic stripe must face toward the front (the side with the LED) and may be swiped in either direction. If there is data encoded on the card, the device will attempt to decode the data and then send the results to the host via a USB HID input report. After the results are sent to the host, the device will be ready to read the next card.

USB Swipe Reader

SECTION 4. USB COMMUNICATIONS

This device conforms to the USB specification revision 1.1. This device also conforms with the Human Interface Device (HID) class specification version 1.1. The device communicates to the host as a vendor defined HID device. The details about how the card data and commands are structured into HID reports follow later in this section. The latest versions of the Windows operating systems, Windows 98, Me, and 2000, all come with a standard Windows USB HID driver. Windows applications that communicate to this device can be easily developed. These applications can communicate to the device using standard windows API calls that communicate to the device using the standard Windows USB HID driver. These applications can be easily developed using compilers such as Microsoft’s Visual Basic or Visual C++. A demonstration program and its source code, written in Visual Basic, that communicates with this device is available. This demo program can be used to test the device and it can be used as a guide for developing other applications. More details about the demo program follow later in this document.

It is strongly recommended that application software developers become familiar with the HID specification the USB specification before attempting to communicate with this device. This document assumes that the reader is familiar with these specifications. These specifications can be downloaded free from www.usb.org

This is a full speed USB device. This device has a number of programmable configuration properties. These properties are stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory. These properties can be configured at the factory or by the end user. The device has an adjustable endpoint descriptor polling interval value that can be set to any value in the range of 1ms to 255ms. This property can be used to speed up or slow down the card data transfer rate. The device also has an adjustable serial number descriptor. More details about these properties can be found later in this document in the command section.

The device will go into suspend mode when directed to do so by the host. The device will wakeup from suspend mode when directed to do so by the host. The device does not support remote wakeup.

This device is powered from the USB bus. Its vendor ID is 0x0801 and its product ID is 0x0002.

HID USAGES

HID devices send data in reports. Elements of data in a report are identified by unique identifiers called usages. The structure of the device’s reports and the device’s capabilities are reported to the host in a report descriptor. The host usually gets the report descriptor only once, right after the device is plugged in. The report descriptor usages identify the devices capabilities and report structures. For example, a device could be identified as a keyboard by analyzing the device’s report descriptor. Usages are four byte integers. The most significant two bytes are called the usage page and the least significant two bytes are called usage IDs. Usages that are related can share a common usage page. Usages can be standardized or they can be vendor defined. Standardized usages such as usages for mice and keyboards can be found in the HID Usage Tables document and can be downloaded free at www.usb.org have a usage page in the range 0xff00 – 0xffff. All usages for this device use vendor defined magnetic stripe reader usage page 0xff00. The usage IDs for this device are defined in the

CARD DATA

Card data is only sent to the host on the Interrupt In pipe using an Input Report. The device will send only one Input Report per card swipe. If the host requests data from the device when no data is available, the device will send a Nak to the host to indicate that it has nothing to send. When a card is swiped, the Input Report will be sent even if the data is not decodable. The following table shows how the input report is structured.

TRACK 1 DECODE STATUS

Bits 7-1 0 Value Reserved Error

This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 1. Bit position zero indicates there was an error decoding track 1 if the bit is set to 1. If it is zero, then no error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.

TRACK 2 DECODE STATUS

Bits 7-1 0 Value Reserved Error

This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 2. Bit position zero indicates if there was an error decoding track 2 if this bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.

TRACK 3 DECODE STATUS

Bits 7-1 0 Value Reserved Error

This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 3. Bit position zero indicates there was an error decoding track 3 if this bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.

TRACK 1 DATA LENGTH

This one byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 1 data field. This value will be zero if there was no data on the track or if there was an error decoding the track.

TRACK 2 DATA LENGTH

This one byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 2 data field. This value will be zero if there was no data on the track or if there was an error decoding the track.

TRACK 3 DATA LENGTH

This one byte value indicates how many bytes of decoded card data are in the track 3 data field. This value will be zero if there was no data on the track or if there was an error decoding the track.

Section 4. USB Communications

CARD ENCODE TYPE

This one byte value indicates the type of encoding that was found on the card. The following table defines the possible values.

Value Encode Type Description

0 ISO/ABA ISO/ABA encode format 1 AAMVA AAMVA encode format 2 CADL CADL encode format 3 Blank The card is blank. 4 Other The card has a non-standard encode format. For example,

ISO/ABA track 1 format on track 2.

5 Undetermined The card encode type could not be determined because no

tracks could be decoded.

6 None No decode has occurred. This type occurs if no magnetic stripe

data has been acquired since the data has been cleared or since the device was powered on. This device only sends an Input report when a card has been swiped so this value will never occur.

TRACK DATA

If decodable track data exits for a given track, it is located in the track data field that corresponds to the track number. The length of each track data field is fixed at 110 bytes, but the length of valid data in each field is determined by the track data length field that corresponds to the track number. Track data located in positions greater that the track data length field indicates are undefined and should be ignored. The HID specification requires that reports be fixed in size, but the number of bytes encoded on a card may vary. Therefore, the Input Report always contains the maximum amount of bytes that can be encoded on the card and the number of valid bytes in each track is indicated by the track data length field. The track data is decoded and converted to ASCII. The track data includes all data starting with the start sentinel and ending with the end sentinel.

TRACK 1 DATA

This field contains the decoded track data for track 1.

TRACK 2 DATA

This field contains the decoded track data for track 2.

TRACK 3 DATA

This field contains the decoded track data for track 3.

USB Swipe Reader

COMMANDS

Most host applications do not need to send commands to the device. Most host applications only need to obtain card data from the device as described previously in this section. This section of the manual can be ignored by anyone who does not need to send commands to the device.

Command requests and responses are sent to and received from the device using feature reports. Command requests are sent to the device using the HID class specific request Set_Report. The response to a command is retrieved from the device using the HID class specific request Get_Report. These requests are sent over the default control pipe. When a command request is sent, the device will Nak the Status stage of the Set_Report request until the command is completed. This insures that as soon as the Set_Report request is completed, the Get_Report request can be sent to get the command response. The usage ID for the command message was shown previously in the Usage Table.

The following table shows how the feature report is structured for command requests:

Offset Field Name

0 Command Number 1 Data Length 2 – 23 Data

The following table shows how the feature report is structured for command responses.

Offset Field Name

0 Result Code 1 Data Length 2 – 23 Data

COMMAND NUMBER

This one byte field contains the value of the requested command number. The following table lists all the existing commands.

Value Command Number Description

0 GET_PROPERTY Sets a property in the device 1 SET_PROPERTY Gets a property from the device

DATA LENGTH

This one byte field contains the length of the valid data contained in the Data field.

DATA

This multi-byte field contains command data if any. Note that the length of this field is fixed at 22 bytes. Valid data should be placed in the field starting at offset 2. Any remaining data after the valid data should be set to zero. This entire field must always be set even if there is no valid data. The HID specification requires that Reports be fixed in length. Command data may vary in length. Therefore, the Report should be filled with zeros after the valid data.

Section 4. USB Communications

RESULT CODE

This one byte field contains the value of the result code. There are two types of result codes: generic result codes and command specific result codes. Generic result codes always have the most significant bit set to zero. Generic result codes have the same meaning for all commands and can be used by any command. Command specific result codes always have the most significant bit set to one. Command specific result codes are defined by the command that uses them. The same code can have different meanings for different commands. Command specific result codes are defined in the documentation for the command that uses them. Generic result codes are defined in the following table.

Value Result Code Description

0 SUCCESS The command completed successfully. 1 FAILURE The command failed. 2 BAD_PARAMETER The command failed due to a bad

parameter or command syntax error.

GET AND SET PROPERTY COMMANDS

The Get Property command gets a property from the device. The Get Property command number is 0.

The Set Property command sets a property in the device. The Set Property command number is 1.

The Get and Set Property command data fields for the requests and responses are structured as follows:

Get Property Request Data:

Data Offset Value

0 Property ID

Get Property Response Data:

Data Offset Value

0 – n Property Value

Set Property Request Data:

Data Offset Value

0 Property ID 1 – n Property Value

Set Property Response Data: None

The result codes for the Get and Set Property commands can be any of the codes list in the generic result code table.

Property ID is a one byte field that contains a value that identifies the property. The following table lists all the current property ID values:

Value Property ID Description

0 SOFTWARE_ID The device’s software identifier 1 SERIAL_NUM The device’s serial number 2 POLLING_INTERVAL The interrupt pipe’s polling interval

The Property Value is a multiple byte field that contains the value of the property. The number of bytes in this field depends on the type of property and the length of the property. The following table lists all of the property types and describes them.

Property Type Description

Byte This is a one byte value. The valid values depend on the property. String This is a multiple byte ASCII string. Its length can be zero to a

maximum length that depends on the property. The value and length of the string does not include a terminating NUL character.

SOFTWARE_ID PROPERTY

Property ID: 0 Property Type: String Length: Fixed at 11 bytes Get Property: Yes Set Property: No Description: This is an 11 byte read only property that identifies the software part number and version for the device. The first 8 bytes represent the part number and the last 3 bytes represent the version. For example this string might be “21042804A02”. Examples follow:

Example Get SOFTWARE_ID property Request (Hex):

Cmd Num Data Len Prp ID

00 01 00

Example Get SOFTWARE_ID property Response (Hex):

Result Code Data Len Prp Value

00 01 32 31 30 34 32 38 30 34 41 30 32

Section 4. USB Communications

SERIAL_NUM PROPERTY

Property ID: 1 Property Type: String Length: 0 – 15 bytes Get Property: Yes Set Property: Yes Default Value: The default value is no string with a length of zero. Description: The value is an ASCII string that represents the device’s serial number. This string can be 0 – 15 bytes long. This property is stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory so it will not change when the unit is power cycled. The value of this property, if any, will be sent to the host when the host requests the USB string descriptor. When this property is changed, the unit must be power cycled to have these changes take effect for the USB descriptor. If a value other than the default value is desired, it can be set by the factory upon request. Examples follow.

Example Set SERIAL_NUM property Request (Hex):

Cmd Num Data Len Prp ID Prp Value

01 04 01 31 32 33

Example Set SERIAL_NUM property Response (Hex):

00 00

Example Get SERIAL_NUM property Request (Hex):

Cmd Num Data Len Prp ID

00 01 01

Example Get SERIAL_NUM property Response (Hex):

Result Code Data Len Prp Value

00 03 31 32 33

POLLING_INTERVAL PROPERTY

Property ID: 2 Property Type: Byte Length: 1 byte Get Property: Yes Set Property: Yes Default Value: 10 Description: The value is a byte that represents the devices polling interval for the Interrupt In Endpoint. The value can be set in the range of 1 – 255 and has units of milliseconds. The polling interval tells the host how often to poll the device for card data packets. For example, if the polling interval is set to 10, the host will poll the device for card data packets every 10ms. This property can be used to speed up or slow down the time it takes to send card data to the host. The trade-off is that speeding up the card data transfer rate increases the USB bus bandwidth used by the device, and slowing down the card data transfer rate decreases the USB bus bandwidth used by the device. This property is stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory so it will not change when the unit is power cycled. The value of this property, if any,

will be sent to the host when the host requests the device’s USB endpoint descriptor. When this property is changed, the unit must be power cycled to have these changes take effect for the USB descriptor. If a value other than the default value is desired, it can be set by the factory upon request. Examples follow:

Example Set POLLING_INTERVAL property Request (Hex):

Cmd Num Data Len Prp ID Prp Value

01 02 02 0A

SECTION 5. DEMO PROGRAM

The demo program, which is written in Visual Basic, can be used to do the following:

• Read cards from the device and view the card data

• Send command requests to the device and view the command responses

• Guide application developers in their application development by providing examples, in

source code, of how to properly communicate with the device using the standard Windows APIs

The part numbers for the demo program can be found in this document in Section 1 under Accessories.

INSTALLATION

To install the demo program, run the setup.exe file and follow the instructions given on the screen.

OPERATION

To operate the demo program perform the following steps:

• Plug the device into a USB port on the host

• If this is the first time the device has been plugged into the host, then follow the instructions

on the screen for installing the Windows HID device driver. This is explained in more detail in the installation section of this document.

• Run the demo program.

• To read cards and view the card data, click on the Read Cards button and swipe a card when

prompted to do so.

• When finished reading cards, close the dialog box.

• To send commands to the device, click on the send commands button.

• Enter a command in the Message edit box. All data entered should be in hexadecimal bytes

with a space between each byte. Enter the command number followed by the command data if there is any. The application will automatically calculate and send the command data length for you. For example, to send the GET_PROPERTY command for property SOFTWARE_ID enter 00 00.

• Press Enter or click on Send message to send the command and receive the result.

• The command request and the command result will be displayed in the Communications

Dialog edit box.

• The Clear Dialog button clears the Communication Dialog edit box.

Figure 1-1. MagTek Devices and Device Drivers for Windows

SECTION 1. OVERVIEW

The MagTek Device (MTD) Drivers for Windows is a collection of individual drivers that support a number of MagTek products. These drivers provide a uniform application interface for controlling a wide range of MagTek devices. The drivers, combined with a device control language, solve many of the difficulties application developers face when attempting to control hardware devices. The difficulties mount when faced with the task of developing an application that supports an entire product line of devices.

Part Numbers for the MTD are as follows:

Part Number Windows Version Medium

30037385 All CD 99510030 9X/ME Internet* (MTD110-9x-ME) 99510031 NT (MTD110-NT) 99510032 2000/XP (MTD110-2K-XP) *www.magtek.com

PROBLEMS WITH CONTROLLING DEVICES

The major problems with developing an application that supports an entire product line of devices are as follows:

• Each MagTek device has a unique set of commands. The commands usually perform

similar functions on a particular class of devices but either differ in syntax or have small variations in their functionality. An application would have to implement a custom mechanism to control each device it supported–much like DOS applications had to do to support various printers.

• Most MagTek devices communicate via data streams, not packets. This means that an

application receives data from the device one character at a time; it only receives partial command responses. It would be the application’s responsibility to collect the incoming data and parse it into individual responses.

• Responses from MagTek devices are inherently asynchronous. When an application

sends a command that requires a response, the response from the device arrives (or worse, begins to arrive) long after the command is sent. The application would have to either poll the device until all of the response is collected or implement a callback mechanism to collect and receive it.

• Most MagTek devices maintain a communication protocol of some kind. In addition to

this, the protocols differ between devices. For example, some devices frame responses with STX and ETX control characters and others simply use a CR or require a checksum in the frame. To deal with this, an application would have to recognize and implement all of the various protocols for the devices it supports.
