WARNING REGARDING USE OF NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PRODUCTS  
(1) NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH COMPONENTS AND TESTING FOR A LEVEL OF  
RELIABILITY SUITABLE FOR USE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH SURGICAL IMPLANTS OR AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN  
ANY LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS WHOSE FAILURE TO PERFORM CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT  
INJURY TO A HUMAN.  
(2) IN ANY APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE ABOVE, RELIABILITY OF OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS CAN BE

AND DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE USED TO DEVELOP AN APPLICATION, INSTALLATION ERRORS, SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE  
COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC MONITORING OR CONTROL DEVICES,  
TRANSIENT FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE), UNANTICIPATED USES OR MISUSES, OR  
ERRORS ON THE PART OF THE USER OR APPLICATIONS DESIGNER (ADVERSE FACTORS SUCH AS THESE ARE HEREAFTER  
COLLECTIVELY TERMED “SYSTEM FAILURES”). ANY APPLICATION WHERE A SYSTEM FAILURE WOULD CREATE A RISK OF  
HARM TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS (INCLUDING THE RISK OF BODILY INJURY AND DEATH) SHOULD NOT BE RELIANT SOLELY

Compliance  
Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference  
Regulations  
Determining FCC Class  
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC  
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)  
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.  
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the  
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital  
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.  
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired  
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.  
Consult the FCC Web site at www.fcc.govfor more information.  
FCC/DOC Warnings  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions  
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.  
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department  
of Communications (DOC).  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the  
FCC Rules.  
Class A  
Federal Communications Commission  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC  
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated  
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this  
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference  
at their own expense.  
Canadian Department of Communications  
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.  
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.  
Compliance with EU Directives  
Users in the European Union (EU) should refer to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for information* pertaining to the  
CE marking. Refer to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for this product for any additional regulatory compliance  
information. To obtain the DoC for this product, visit ni.com/certification, search by model number or product line,  
and click the appropriate link in the Certification column.

The CE marking Declaration of Conformity contains important supplementary information and instructions for the user or  
installer.

General Information  
This chapter includes an overview of the FPT-1015 human machine  
interface (HMI).  
Introduction  
The FPT-1015 is a 15 in. color TFT LCD flat panel monitor for industrial  
applications. With the optional touchscreen, this monitor is a user-friendly  
system control interface and can be easily transformed into a remote  
control system.  
In addition to its usual application as an LCD panel monitor, the FPT-1015  
includes a Direct VGA control signal input, making it compatible with  
industrial PCs and workstations.  
The onscreen display (OSD) function allows you to adjust the display and  
turn the backlight on and off.  
The chassis is made of durable steel. The front panel is made of Al-Mg with  
NEMA4/IP65 compliance.  
Connectors  
The FPT-1015 includes the following connectors.  
VGA Port (DB15)  
You can connect the FPT-1015 to a system via the external 15-pin DB-15  
connector.  
Note Before connecting a VGA cable between the FPT-1015 and a PC, be sure the vertical  
frequency is within the acceptable range if you have installed an operating system on the  
PC. If you have not installed an operating system, adjust the vertical frequency to fall  
within the range.

Touchscreen  
This appendix explains how to install and configure the FPT-1015  
touchscreen.  
Introduction  
The FPT-1015 touchscreen uses advanced 8-wire resistive technology,  
providing more accurate sensing capacity than other technologies. The  
touchscreen is specially designed for tough industrial environments.  
Installing the Driver for Windows  
The touchscreen driver is on the driver CD included with the FPT-1015.  
To install the driver, locate the Windows Driver V4.1.1008folder. Run  
setup.exein that folder and follow the installation instructions.  
Configuring the Touchscreen  
After you install the touchscreen driver, the FPT-1015 automatically finds  
the new touchscreen controller board on rebooting. The touchscreen is  
connected, but not calibrated. Follow these steps to start calibration:  
1. After installation and rebooting, click the PenMount Monitor pm icon  
in the menu bar and select Control Panel.  
2. When the PenMount Control Panel appears, click Calibrate.  
PenMount Control Panel  
The PenMount Control Panel functions are Calibrate, Multiple Monitors,  
Setting, PenMount Rotating Functions, Tools, and About.  
Calibrate  
The Calibrate function includes two ways to calibrate your touchscreen.  
Standard calibration adjusts most touchscreens. Advanced calibration  
adjusts aging touchscreens.

Standard Calibration  
When you click this button, arrows  
appear pointing to red squares. Use your  
finger or stylus to touch the red squares in  
sequence. After you touch the fifth red  
square, calibration is complete. To skip,  
press <Esc>.  
Note To access the Advanced Calibration option, go to the Tools tab and select Advanced  
Calibration.  
Advanced Calibration  
Advanced calibration uses 4, 9, 16, or  
25 points to effectively calibrate the  
linearity of aged touchscreens. Click  
this button and touch the red squares in  
sequence with a stylus. To skip, press  
<Esc>.  
Note The older the touchscreen, the more advanced calibration points you need for

When you select this function, a touch  
panel linearity comparison graph appears  
after you finish advanced calibration.  
The blue lines show linearity before  
calibration, and black lines show linearity  
after calibration.  
Multiple Monitors  
The Multiple Monitors function supports two to six touchscreen displays  
for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touchscreen  
control board, installed inside the display or in a central unit. You must  
connect the control boards to the computer COM ports via the RS232  
interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as for a single  
monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:  
Windows Extend Monitor function  
Matrox DualHead multiscreen function  
nVidia nView function  
Note The Multiple Monitors function is for multiple displays only. Do not use this  
function with only one touchscreen display.
