Monitor Connecting and Turning On Touchscreen Software Installation The driver for Windows® 2000 / XP operating system for the touchscreen installation is included on the CD-ROM supplied. Insert the CD-ROM, double-click on “setup.exe” to start the installer. During the installation sequence, some screens will appear (“Welcome”, “Select Folder”, “Select Destination Directory”, “Number of devices”).
Monitor Connecting and Turning On If you choose [DMC TSC-10 Series, Serial], the “Serial port” setting window appears. Choose the corresponding port from popup menu. Fig. 14: Selection of the corresponding port After installing the touchscreen driver, be sure to restart your computer to load and activate the touchscreen driver. Afterwards the calibration of the touchscreen has to be carried out. 19" Industrial LCD Monitor KFM19_e – User’s Manual (Version 1.
Monitor Connecting and Turning On Calibrating the Touchscreen After the installation of the touchscreen driver, you have to calibrate the touchscreen. The calibration serves two purposes: ❏ Sets the active area of the touchscreen. ❏ Aligns the active area of the touchscreen to the screen’s image. Before you calibrate the touchscreen, let the KFM19_e warm up for 30 minutes. Do not use a hard or a pointed object to operate the touchscreen, since it can damage the touchscreen surface.
Monitor Connecting and Turning On You can adjust the calibration of the touchscreen by running the program at [Start] → [Program] → [UPDD] → [Control setting]. Use your finger to touch the crosshair on the light gray screen. Touching the crosshair lets it appear at another position. Similarly, touch that position too. Fig. 15: Touchscreen displaying information After calibrating the touchscreen you can test the alignment by pressing the “Test” button to view the tracking accuracy.
Maintenance and Prevention Maintenance and Prevention Kontron Embedded Computers systems only require minimal maintenance and care to keep them operating correctly. ❏ Occasionally wipe the system with a soft dry cloth. ❏ Remove persistent dirt by use of a soft, slightly damp cloth (use only a mild detergent). Use no abrasives, abrasion sponges, steel wool, metal threads, or solvent like alcohol, acetone, washing gasoline to clean the displays protection pane or the surface of the touchscreen.
