OPD-1086B User Manual 25
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 unction
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.
