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 board offers both RS-232 and USB interfaces except

a host computer. The control board converts touch input into digital data, and the device driver
converts the data into mouse events used by the operating systems.
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.
The 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.

Remark:
With PenMount Windows Universal V2.2.0.283 and later versions, since the touchscreen is automatically
installed as a digitizer device in Windows Vista/7/8, the functions which are built within Windows Vista/ 7/
8 such as rotation, multi-monitors, flicks, and context menu function (which launches a context menu by
user’s long-pressing on touchscreen rather than clicking the right-mouse button or pressing the
application key on the keyboard) will be supported.
Chapter 4. Driver Software Functions
This chapter will guide you to the special software functions that configure and adjust the PenMount
control boards and touchscreen hardware. Please note that not all of the functions are available for
every driver. See the following table for drivers’ software functions and their availability for specific
interface and systems:
The following content in this chapter deals mainly with PenMount Windows Universal Driver (for
2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7/8). The PenMount Control Panel, which can be launched either in the start
menu, or by double click on the desktop icon, is the major configuration utility.
4.1. Calibration
The most important feature that PenMount Control Panel provides is calibration. Please
click on the “PenMount 6000 USB” or “PenMount 6000 RS232” icon to open the device
specific configuration window.
30
Driver Software Functions
The first tab is the calibration tab, which consists of four features: “Standard Calibration”,
“Advanced Calibration”, “Plot calibration data” and “Turn off EEPROM storage”.
4.1.1. Standard Calibration
The Standard calibration function uses four points for calibration and one point for
confirmation. Under normal circumstances, the standard calibration is all you need to
perform an accurate calibration.
31
Chapter 4 Driver Software Functions
%PROGRAMFILES%\PenMount Universal Driver\DMCCtrl.exe -calibration <mode>
4.1.2. Advanced Calibration
The 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.
4.1.3. Plot Calibration Data
Check this function to have touch panel linearity comparison graph appear when you
finish Advanced Calibration. The black lines reflect the ideal linearity assumed by
PenMount’s application program while the blue lines show the approximate linearity
calculated by PenMount’s application program as the result of user’s execution of
Advance Calibration.
4.1.4. Turn off EEPROM storage
This function disables the write-in of calibration data in the PenMount controller. This
function is enabled by default.
4.1.5. Calibration in Command Line
In some cases, users might want to launch calibration directly in command line. Please
use the following command:
Supported Modes:
4= Standard Calibration 4
9= Advanced Calibration 9
16= Advanced Calibration 16
25= Advanced Calibration 25
4.2. Multiple Monitors
PenMount supports two or more touchscreen displays for one system. Each monitor
requires its own PenMount touchscreen control board, either installed inside the display
or in a central unit. 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.
4.2.1. Requirements
Before using the Multiple Monitors function you need the following:
A display card that supports multiple monitors such as the Matrox, nVidia,
ATI, etc.
(Two or more display cards supported by Windows are also ok.)
Two or more touchscreens
Two or more Serial Ports or USB ports.
Two or more PenMount 6000 control boards such as 6200D, 6202B,
6300A or 6500A.
The PenMount Windows Universal Driver (for 2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7/8).
Before using Multiple Monitors you must have two or more monitors that are
in extension mode. For display cards that support multiple monitors, we
suggest you consider Matrox, nVidia, or ATI cards and inquire about operation
and usability issues.
Note: Before you can use multiple monitors you need to map each monitor.
Enable the Multiple Monitors
Enable the multiple display function as follows:
1. In PenMount Control Panel, under Multiple Monitors tag, check the
“Multiple Monitor Support” box. Then click on the “Map
Touchscreens” button to start assigning touch controllers to displays.

wait for 10 second to skip
automatically.
4. Follow this sequence and
touch each screen to map
the touchscreens.
5. After the setting procedure is finished, maybe you need to calibrate for
each panel and controller.
NOTES:
1. If you use a single VGA output for multiple monitors, please do not
use the Multiple Monitors function. Just follow the regular
procedure for calibration on each of your desktop monitors.
2. The Rotating function is disabled if you use the Multiple Monitors
function.
3. If you change the resolution of display or screen address, you have
to redo Map Touchscreens so the system understands where the
displays are.
