About This panel displays information about the PenMount controller and driver version.
Multiple Monitors Multiple Monitors supports from two to six touch screen displays for one system. The PenMount drivers for Windows 2000/XP support Multiple Monitors. This function supports from two to six touch screen displays for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touch screen control board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. The PenMount control boards must be connected to the computer COM ports via the RS-232 interface.
3. Touch each screen as it displays “Please touch this monitor. Press ‘S’ to skip” Following this sequence and touching each screen is called mapping the touch screens. 4. After the setting procedure is finished, maybe you need to calibrate for each panel and controller NOTES: 1. If you used a single VGA output for multiple monitors, please do not use the Multiple Monitors function. Just follow the regular procedure for calibration on each of your desktop monitors. 2.
