Chapter 1. Introduction

PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is the most popular touchscreen control board on the market. PenMount control boards, chipsets, and software support a wide range of configurations, applications, and operating systems. Designed for easy configuration and superior touchscreen performance, the PenMount 6000 control boards are offered for both RS-232 and USB interfaces except 6300 which only supports USB interface.

PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is a circuit board that you install between a touchscreen and a host computer. The control board converts touch input into digital data, which is then converted by software into data that emulates the input from a computer’s mouse device.

The control boards are comprised of an interface board for mounting on a host computer, a controller chip, other supporting components, and software drivers. The bundled software drivers offer unique functions and support the most popular hardware platforms and operating systems.

PenMount control boards are designed not only to be user-friendly, but also to support engineers. All PenMount control boards provide a diagnostic LED that allows both users and engineers to check the touchscreen and the control board functions.

When you click the PenMount icon in the notification area and select “Control Panel” from the menu, “PenMount Control Panel” with the four tags “Device”, “Multiple-Monitors”, “Tools”, “About” will appear as the screenshot below:

Chapter 4 Driver Software Functions

The buttons on such “PenMount Control Panel” have the following functions:

Draw

Tests or demonstrates the PenMount touchscreen

operation.

Right Button Icon

Enable right button function. The icon can show on

Desktop or in the notification area.

Gesture Enable

Enable/configure Gesture AP to support PenMount

gestures recognition.

Screen Rotation Monitor

The function supports nVidia, Intel, SMI or ATI and software such as Portrait Pivot Pro rotation automatic

detection.

4.1. Standard Calibration

Standard Calibration function lets you match the touchscreen to your display so that the

point you touch is accurately tracked on screen. Standard Calibration only requires four

points for calibration and one point for confirmation. Under normal circumstance

Standard Calibration is all you need to perform an accurate calibration.

4.2. Advanced Calibration

Advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by using more involved engineering calculations. Use this function only if you have tried the Standard Calibration and there is still a discrepancy in the way the touchscreen maps to the

display. You can choose 9, 16 or 25 points to calibrate, though we suggest that you first try 9 points, if it is still not tracking well then try 16 or 25 points. The more points you use for calibration, the greater the accuracy. Errors in calibration may occur due to viewing angle, or individual skill, and there may be little difference in using 16 or 25 points. Note that a stylus is recommended for the most accurate results.

4.3. Multiple Monitors

Multiple Monitors supports two to six touchscreen displays for one system. PenMount

drivers for Windows 2000, XP 32/64bit, and 2003 support Multiple Monitors. This

function supports from two to six touchscreen displays for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touchscreen control board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. The PenMount control boards must be connected to the computer COM ports via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as for a single monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:

Windows Extend Monitor Function Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function nVidia nView Function

NOTE: The Multiple Monitors function is for the use with multiple displays only. Do

not use this function if you have only one touchscreen display. Please note

once you turn on this function the Rotating function is disabled.
