Installing the Touchscreen Driver Software

To install the touchscreen driver software correctly, obtain the following
information about the host hardware:

• The COM port in use for the touchscreen. Ensure that the RS-232

cable is properly installed between the monitor port and the host’s
COM port.

• The baud rate at which the controller is operating. You will need to

match the baud rate at the COM port. The controller baud rate is
factory set at 9600.

Note:

If you are using older touchscreen software, you may be
prompted for the type of touchscreen controller being used.
The RAC6185 18.1" Flat Panel Monitor uses the following
controllers:
• Resistive: Elo TouchSystems model E271-2210.
• Capacitive: MicroTouch model SMT-3.

Once you have obtained this information, install the software using the
installation disks found in the touchscreen accessory package.

Note:

Before installation, you may want to check the touchscreen
manufacturer’s site on the World Wide Web for the latest
software drivers. Enter these addresses in your Internet
browser:
• www.elotouch.com for resistive touchscreens
• www.microtouch.com for capacitive touchscreens.

After installing the driver software, follow the instructions in the
touchscreen documentation.

Following installation of the touchscreen software and calibration, the
touchscreen is ready to use.
