Installing the D river S oftware

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

Additional drivers and driver information for other operating systems are
available on the Elo TouchSystems web site at www.elotouch.com.

Your Elo touchmonitor is plug-and-play compliant. Information on the video
capabilities of your touchmonitor is sent to your video display adapter when
Windows starts. If Windows detects your touchmonitor, follow the instructions
on the screen to install a generic plug-and-play monitor.

Refer to the appropriate following section for driver installation instructions.

Depending upon whether you connected the serial communication cable or

the USB communication cable, you should install only the serial driver or

the USB driver.

Installing the Serial Touch Driv e r for MS-DOS and
Window s 3. 1

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

To install Windows 3.x and MS-DOS from Windows 95/98, follow the
dire c t ions below :

1 Insert the 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 pre ss Enter to start the installation.
4 Align the touchsc reen.

You must have already complete d Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding.
To run the INSTALL program:

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

inst a l l f i les.

2 INSTALL asks you to select the softwa re 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 softwa re, you may wish to specif y the paths containing
the earlier ve rsions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs
are upward co mpatible. For a list of differe n ces from each previous ve rsion 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, c alled
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 subdire ctory
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.

ATIVE

The native resol ution of a monitor is the resolution level a t which the LCD
panel is designed to perf orm best. For the LCD touchmonitor, the native
resolution is 1024 x 768 for the 15 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 inc rease it.

800x600 (SVGA) Transforms input format to 1024x768
1024x768 (XGA) Displays in Native Resolution

The native resol ution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in
the LCD by the number of pixels vertic ally in the LCD. LCD resolution is
usually represented by the following symbols:

VGA
SVGA
XGA
SXGA
UXGA

640x480
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by
600 pixels verti cally. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA
input video has a format of 1024 pixe ls horizontally by 768 pixels vert ically.
When the input pixels conta ined in the video input format match the native
resolution of the pane l, the re is a one to one corr espondenc e 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 i s at a lower r esoluti on than t he native r esoluti on of th e LCD, the
direct corre spondence between the video pixels an d the LCD pixels is lost. The
LCD controll er can c ompute the cor respon dence betwe en video pi xel s and LCD
pixels using algor ithms 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 chara cters.
