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 displayor
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 Extends Monitor Function
Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
nVidia nView Function
NOTE: The Multiple Monitor 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 the rotating function is disabled.

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.)

mode . For display cards that support multiple monitors, we suggest you consider Matrox,
nVidia, or ATI cards and inquire about operation and usability issues.
