Remark:
With PenMount Windows Universal V2.2.0.283 and the versions later, since the touch screen is installed
as a digitizer device in Windows Vista/7/8 automatically, the functions which are built in Windows Vista / 7/
8, such as rotation, multi-monitors, flicks, and context menu function (which launches a context menu by
long-pressing on touch screen rather than clicking the right-mouse button or pressing the application key
on the keyboard will be supported.
The following content in this chapter deals mainly with PenMount Windows Universal Driver (for
2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7/8). When you click 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:
Page 58
Driver Software Functions
52
The buttons on “Tools”tab have the following functions:
Draw
Tests or demonstrates the PenMount touch screen
operation.
Right Button Icon
Enable right button function. The icon can be shown 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 allows touch screen match the display so that the point you where
you touch can be traced accurately on the 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: improve the accuracy of calibration by using the more
complicated engineering calculations. Use this function only if you have tried the
Standard Calibration and there is still a discrepancy in the way the touch screen 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.
A stylus is recommended for the most accurate results.
4.3. Multiple Monitors
PenMount mouse drivers for Windows 2000/XP/XPE/2003/VISTA/72008/WES7/8
support Multiple Monitors. Multiple Monitors supports from two to six touch screen
displays for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touch screen control
board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. 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: Multiple Monitors function is for use with multiple displays only. Do not use
this function if you have only one touch screen display. Please note once you
turn on this function Rotating function is disabled.
Page 59
Driver Software Functions
53
4.3.1. Requirements
Before using Multiple Monitors function you need the following:
- A display card that supports multiple monitors such as the Matrox, nVidia,

- Two or more PenMount 9000 control boards such as the 9036CH or
9026BH.
- 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.
