See the README.TXT file on the accompanying disk. It contains any additions
or changes made after this manual was printed.
For details on available product configurations, touchscreen theory of operation,
and general troubleshooting, see the IntelliTouch Ultra Product Manual or the
AccuTouch Product Manual as appropriate.
BOUT MONITORMOUSE FOR WINDOWS
A
Included on the accompanying disk is MonitorMouse for Windows NT, a 32-bit
touchscreen driver designed for Microsoft Windows NT. MonitorMouse for
Windows NT allows you to run all Windows applications without modification,
using an Elo touchscreen.
MonitorMouse for Windows NT and an Elo touchscreen are recommended for all
Windows NT applications that require an intuitive user interface, such as a public
kiosk application. Touchscreens are also popular in point-of-sale, process control,
instrumentation, multimedia, gaming, education, simulation, and training
applications. Elo touchscreens may be used in a harsh environment not
appropriate for a mouse or keyboard.
NT
With MonitorMouse for Windows NT, the touchscreen may be used alone, or in
conjunction with any mouse. Various mouse button emulation modes provide
options on how button clicks are simulated. You can choose the best mode for
your application, and change between modes at any time.
Applications using only the left button are the easiest to use with the touchscreen.
Touchscreen Controller Compatibility
Elo manufactures two types of touchscreen technologies. The IntelliTouch
surface wave technology provides excellent clarity and durability. The
AccuTouch
response and high resolution. PC-Bus and serial touchscreen controllers are
available.
MonitorMouse for Windows NT will work with all current Elo touchscreen
controllers. A complete list is included in the README.TXT file on the
accompanying disk.
resistive technology features pressure-activated screens with rapid
Software Compatibility
MonitorMouse for Windows NT is compatible with Windows NT and all
Windows applications.
MonitorMouse for Windows NT also works with most DOS applications run in a
window on the Windows NT desktop.
Video Compatibility
The video function of the display and the Elo touchscreen installed on the display
are entirely separate systems. Therefore, the touchscreen is compatible with all
video cards and modes. Problems with the display should be treated as display
problems, not touchscreen problems.
Other Versions of MonitorMouse
MonitorMouse for Windows NT is only one in a family of MonitorMouse
products for various operating systems available separately from Elo. Each has a
similar "look and feel" for a consistent user interface across platforms.
MonitorMouse for DOS emulates the standard mouse driver MOUSE.COM on
the IBM family of personal computers and 100% compatibles. Programs using
MOUSE.COM, MOUSE.SYS, or compatible versions, will work with
MonitorMouse. ELODEV, the Elo touchscreen driver program for DOS, is also
included.
Product Registration 3
MonitorMouse for Windows 95 works with all Windows applications and DOS
applications run in a window on the Windows 95 desktop.
MonitorMouse for OS/2 works with all Presentation Manager and WIN-OS/2
mouse-driven applications. It also works with all OS/2 Full Screen and DOS
applications run on the OS/2 desktop.
MonitorMouse for Macintosh works on the Apple Macintosh computer with
System 6 or System 7.
