4. Installing the Touch screen Driver
4. 1. Hardware
Touchscreen controllers must be configured for the driver prior to installation. Elo typically
ships controllers in a default setup that is compatible with this driver. Controller
requirements are:
Serial
● Serial controllers must conform to these minimum requirements:
● Baud rate-9600 baud.
● Data format-SMARTSET
● It is desirable for a full handshaking connection to be established between the
touchscreen controller and the computer, but it is not required. The controller will function
with this driver in a "two-wire", Receive Data and Ground (RxD and Gnd) configuration.
The consequences of a two-wire connection are:
◇ Automatic detection of the controllers on serial ports during setup is not possible
◇ Controller information will not be registered in the Property Page of the Control Panel
4. 2. Software
There are many options to consider when installing the driver files. This section will explain
the most common ways that the driver is installed. Consult Elo Applications Engineering
for situations not covered in this section.
● Setup from Windows Desktop
● Single monitor, serial controller
◇ Run the self-extracting zip file to unzip the files, using the Run EloSetup option
◇ EloSetup will launch. Check the "Install Serial Touchscreen Drivers" box
● Review and accept the License Agreement
● Check "Auto-detect Elo devices" if your touchmonitor serial cable is connected to
Page 12
the computer and the serial cable supports hardware handshaking If you connect
the serial cable later, do not check the "auto-detect" box. Go to the next screen
● A list of all the serial ports that the system detected is shown. If you checked the
auto-detect box in the previous screen, and your touchmonitor serial cable is attached
to the computer, the COM port that you selected should be checked in the list. If you
agree with the selection, click Next and proceed to the next
screen
● The COM port you selected will be shown in the window of this screen. This is your last
opportunity to change your COM port selection before the driver files are installed. Use
the Back button(s) to change any of the selections you previously made. Click "Next" to
complete the installation of the driver files
● Depending on the revision of the driver you are installing, Windows may advise you that
the "software you are installing has not passed Windows logo testing…" . Select
"Continue Anyway" to proceed with the installation. This message can be suppressed in
future installations by changing the selection in "Driver Signing Options" at Control
Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Driver Signing
● When the "Setup Complete" screen appears, you may choose to run calibration the (Elo
Video Alignment program, EloVA) immediately or wait until later. If you choose not to
run this program now, you can run it from the Elo Control Panel application
Page 13
● Follow the general procedure for Single monitor, serial controller installation above,
auto detecting or selecting all the serial ports that you will use
● The driver files will install. When the "Setup Complete" screen appears, you may
choose to run calibration (the Elo Video Alignment program, EloVA) immediately or wait
until later. If you choose not to run this program now, you can run it from the Elo Control
Panel application. When EloVA runs for the first time, it will attempt to calibrate all
controllers and/or serial ports that were installed. Press the Esc key on the keyboard to
terminate or skip calibration for any monitor, or allow the program to time out (as
indicated by the progress bar reaching maximum).
● Silent Install
The EloSetup program for this driver may also be run as an attended or unattended
program from a command line, batch file, etc. Example usage
To Silent install for USB controllers use

6. Elo Right Mouse Button Tool (RMBT)
Right Mouse Button tool allows a Windows right mouse button simulation on the
touchscreen
A representation of a typical two-button mouse is displayed in a small window on the
desktop, when this application is run. The initial presentation of the RMBT shows the left
button shaded, indicating that the left button is active. Any touch on the desktop or an
application will produce a left button click consistent with the Button settings in the Control
Panel
A touch in the RMBT will change the shading to show the right mouse button active. Now
any touch on this monitor on which RMBT is running will produce a right button click
Typically, a right button action will activate a new dialog box for some function similar to
mouse right button click. When that dialog box is touched, or any other touch on the touch
monitor is made, this touch will be a left button event. Simultaneously, the mouse button
shading in the RMBT will toggle back to the left button
After the RMBT has been touched to toggle to the right button state, a second touch in the
RMBT will activate a menu allowing the user to:
◇ Launch the Elo Control Panel (Elo Touchscreen Properties)
◇ Close the right button utility
◇ A right button click on the RMBT with the mouse will also activate this menu
The RMBT may be dragged to any location on the desktop by touching it and holding the
touch momentarily until the crossed arrows appear. The RMBT may also be dragged with
the standard mouse
The RMBT cannot be resized
The RMBT can be run for every touchmonitor from the Elo Control Panel > Properties tab
Only one RMBT can be active for each touchmonitor
