install files.
2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install.
3 Choose d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.
4 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation. You may
select a path, or use the 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 align the touchscreen within
Windows 3.1 using the Touchscreen Control Panel.

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Variations in video output and application will likely require you to adjust your
touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.
For best performance, your monitor should be operating in native resolution;
that is, 1024 x 768 at 60-75 MHz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to
choose 1024 x 768 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.
3-15
Connecting the OSD Module
All adjustments are made by using the remote on-screen display (OSD) module.
First, connect the OSD module by inserting the corded end into the OSD

CHAPTER 4
NATIVE RESOLUTION
The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution at which the LCD panel is
designed to perform best. 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. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, XGA-15 inch, the
native resolution is 1024 x 768.

Transforms input format to 1024 x 768 size
Displays in native resolution
The native resolution of an LCD is the resolution that matches the LCD’s
pixels. Video performance is always best at native resolution settings. The
various standard LCD resolutions are usually represented as follows:
640 x 480
VGA
800 x 600
SVGA
1024 x 768
XGA
A-25
For example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel displays 800 pixels horizontally
and 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. For example, the pixel in 45 column and 26
row of the input video is in 45 column and 26 row of the LCD. When the input
video is set 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 in the 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 display, such as
characters of varying width.

CarrollTouch Specifications
Mechanical
Construction
The CarrollTouch IR XRES frame is a solid state circuit card
assembly. The circuits are populated onto .062" thick FR4
printed wiring board material with a UL flammability rating
of 94V-0. The IR transparent insert attached to the circuit
card assembly is polycarbonate material with a UL
flammability rating of 94V-0 at thicknesses of .090 inches
and above, and 94V-2 at thicknesses from .034-.089 inches.
Cable and Connector
The cable exits from the left center of the frame assembly
and is a 16 position, 0.5 mm flat flex cable (FFC). The cable
terminates into a ZIF connector on both sides of the
controller and frame interface.
The FFC cable can be folded and creased. Test data for this
cable reveals that the cable maintains electrical
characteristics over 20 million cycles of a simulated forming
bend around cylinders of radius 0.5", 0.75", and 1.0". The
FFC is guaranteed to maintain electrical and plating
characteristics for a minimum of 25 insertion and withdrawal
cycles with the ZIF connector.
Positional Accuracy
The positional accuracy of the IR XRES frame to a touch
stylus is a function of the physical spacing of the discrete IR
opto-electronics, diameter of the touch stylus, and location of
the stylus in the touch active area. The table below provides
the positional accuracy specifications with corresponding
XRES product and dimensional determinants.
