2-15
Installing the Serial Touch Driver for MS-DOS and
Windows 3.1
You must have a DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) installed for your mouse
if you wish to continue using your mouse along with your touchmonitor in
DOS.
To install Windows 3.x and MS-DOS from Windows 95/98, follow the
directions below:
1 Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 From DOS, type d:\EloDos_W31 to change to the correct directory on the
CD-ROM (your CD-ROM drive may be mapped to a different drive letter).
3 Type install and press Enter to start the installation.
4 Align the touchscreen.
You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding. Refer to
Chapter 2 of the Elo DOS and Windows Driver Guide as necessary for
additional installation information.
To run the INSTALL program:
1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver
install files.
2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose
d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may
use its defaults. INSTALL creates directories as necessary, and warns you if
they exist.
If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing
the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs
are upward compatible. For a list of differences from each previous version of
the drivers, be sure to select "Differences from Previous Versions" during the
installation process.
INSTALL updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select.
INSTALL makes a copy of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, called
AUTOEXEC.OLD. If you already have Elo driver commands in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.
When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdirectory
you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program
ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within
Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output
and application may require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the
quality of the display.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native
resolution, that is 1280 x 1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in
Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further
information, please refer to Appendix A.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This
feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time you unplug or
power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power failure your
touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.
Using the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menus
All adjustments are made by using the on-screen display (OSD) menus. All
menu items can be selected by using the buttons on the side bezel.

CHAPTER 4
NATIVE RESOLUTION
The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD
panel is designed to perform best. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, the native
resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the SXGA-17 inch size. In almost all cases,
screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower
the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.
Input Video
17" LCD

Transforms input format to 1280x1024
Transforms input format to 1280x1024
Displays in Native Resolution
The native resolution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in
the LCD by the number of pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is
usually represented by the following symbols:
VGA
640x480
800x600
SVGA
XGA
1024x768
1280x1024
1600x1200
SXGA
UXGA
A-25
As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by
600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA
input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically.
When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native
resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input
video pixels to LCD pixels. As an example, the pixel in column 45 and row 26
of the input video is in column 45 and row 26 of the LCD. For the case when
the input video is at a lower resolution than the native resolution of the LCD, the
direct correspondence between the video pixels and the LCD pixels is lost. The
LCD controller can compute the correspondence between video pixels and LCD
pixels using algorithms contained on its controller. The accuracy of the
algorithms determines the fidelity of conversion of video pixels to LCD pixels.
Poor fidelity conversion can result in artifacts in the LCD displayed image such
as varying width characters.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
I. Electrical Safety Information:
A) Compliance is required with respect to the voltage, frequency, and current
requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different
power source than those specified herein will likely result in improper operation,
damage to the equipment or pose a fire hazard if the limitations are not followed.
B) There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. There are hazard-
ous voltages generated by this equipment which constitute a safety hazard. Service
should be provided only by a qualified service technician.
C) This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord which has an integral
safety ground wire intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
1) Do not substitute the cord with other than the provided approved type.
Under no circumstances use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet as
this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.
2) The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the safety
certification, modification or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can
result in serious injury or death.
3) Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there are questions
about the installation prior to connecting the equipment to mains power.
II. Emissions and Immunity Information
A) Notice to Users in the United States: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
B) Notice to Users in Canada: This equipment complies with the Class B limits for
radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as established by the Radio Interfer-
ence Regulations of Industrie Canada.
C) Notice to Users in the European Union: Use only the provided power cords and
interconnecting cabling provided with the equipment. Substitution of provided
cords and cabling may compromise electrical safety or CE Mark Certification for
emissions or immunity as required by the following standards:
37
This Information Technology Equipment (ITE) is required to have a CE Mark
on the manufacturer’s label which means that the equipment has been tested
to the following Directives and Standards:
This equipment has been tested to the requirements for the CE Mark as
required by EMC Directive 89/336/EEC indicated in European Standard EN
55 022 Class B and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC as indicated in
European Standard EN 60 950.
D) General Information to all Users: This equipment generates, uses and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to this manual the
equipment may cause interference with radio and television communications.
There is, however, no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular
installation due to site-specific factors.
1) In order to meet emission and immunity requirements, the user must
observe the following:
a) Use only the provided I/O cables to connect this digital device with
any computer.
b) To ensure compliance, use only the provided manufacturer’s approved
line cord.
c) The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the equipment
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2) If this equipment appears to cause interference with radio or television
reception, or any other device:
a) Verify as an emission source by turning the equipment off and on.
b) If you determine that this equipment is causing the interference, try to
correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
i) Move the digital device away from the affected receiver.
ii) Reposition (turn) the digital device with respect to the affected
receiver.
iii) Reorient the affected receiver’s antenna.
iv) Plug the digital device into a different AC outlet so the digital
device and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
v) Disconnect and remove any I/O cables that the digital device
does not use. (Unterminated I/O cables are a potential source of
high RF emission levels.)
vi) Plug the digital device into only a grounded outlet receptacle.
Do not use AC adapter plugs. (Removing or cutting the line cord
ground may increase RF emission levels and may also present a
lethal shock hazard to the user.)
If you need additional help, consult your dealer, manufacturer, or an experi-
enced radio or television technician.
