Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver Software Serial Mouse Control Driver Introduction The Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver, licensed for use only in conjunction with the TPS-XVGA/-BV/L Computer Interface Cards, is designed to enable a Crestron Isys TPS touchpanel to function as a touch-sensitive computer monitor, compatible with Microsoft Windows 98/XP and Windows 2000/NT.
Software Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver Driver Requirements To program the touchpanel for use with the Serial Mouse Control Driver, a PC that contains VT Pro-e and SIMPLTM Windows is required. Refer to the table below for the requirements of the touchpanel, PC and Cresnet system. Driver Requirements REQUIREMENT Serial Mouse Control Driver (UPDD) SPECIFICATION Version 02.56.18 or later 1 Version 2.3.3.1 or later 1 Version 1.010.
Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver • • Software In SIMPL Windows (page 13): - Assign touchpanel serial output signals - Assign control system Two-Way Serial Driver signals - Save, Compile, and load the project to the touchpanel In VT Pro-e (page 16): - Set the RGB object to PAD 1 or PAD 2 - Set the project properties according to the RGB selected PAD area Type: Mouse Communication via: Cresnet Serial Join: 1 (example) - Save, Compile, and load the project to the touchpanel Mouse Driver Operation via E
Software Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver NOTE: Certain pairs of COM ports, such as 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, may be configured to use the same system interrupts within the Windows operating system, making it difficult to use both COM ports simultaneously. If so, it may be necessary to change the COM port setting. It is strongly recommended that the selected COM port be dedicated only for the Serial Mouse Control Driver. Refer to the Windows documentation for further information.
Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver Software Hardware Tab NOTE: COM port selection is the only item that can be changed. Adjusting any other setting will cause the driver to fail, requiring the driver to be reinstalled. NOTE: For additional keyboard functionality programmed into the touchpanel, refer to “Appendix 1 - Keyboard Functionality” on page 23.

Software Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver VT Pro-e Programming The Serial Mouse Control Driver and PC configuration must be programmed in VT Pro-e and the project uploaded to the touchpanel. This entails the following steps, which are explained in detail in this section. An RGB object must be created on a page or subpage. To create an RGB object, perform the following steps. 1. In VT Pro-e, open the touchpanel project. 2. As shown below, make sure that the project window is the active window.
Crestron Serial Mouse Control Driver Software 5. Refer to the diagram below. In the Type drop-down list of the desired Pad Area, select Mouse (Pad Area 1 is shown). Select Mouse in Pad Area 1 6. In the Communication via drop-down list of the Project Properties dialog box, select either Serial or Cresnet or TCP/IP (for Ethernet operation) and continue with this step. 6a. If Serial is selected, proceed to step 7 below. 6b.
