This manual is organized as follows: Chapter 1 Describes the software included, and the hardware requirements. Chapter 2 Describes how to install the MonitorMouse for OS/2 software.
2 Chapter 1 - Introduction Appendix C Gives tips on troubleshooting a MonitorMouse for OS/2 installation and includes a sample CONFIG.SYS file. Appendix D Gives additional installation steps for using MonitorMouse for OS/2 with IBM Audio Visual Connection (AVC) multimedia authoring tool. See the !READ.ME! file (if present) on the accompanying disk. It contains any additions or changes made after this manual was printed.
About MonitorMouse for OS/2 3 MonitorMouse for OS/2 will work with the Elo touchscreen controllers listed below. E281{A}-4002 refers to both the E281-4002 and E281A-4002 controllers. Likewise, E281{A}-4025 refers to both the E281-4025 and E281A-4025 controllers.
4 Chapter 1 - Introduction Software Compatibility MonitorMouse for OS/2 is compatible with (Warp). OS/2 versions 1.3 through 3.x Coordinates vs. Mickeys MonitorMouse will work with all Presentation Manager and WIN-OS/2 mousedriven applications. All OS/2 Full Screen and DOS applications that ask the mouse driver for coordinates (absolute position) rather than mickeys (relative motion) will also work.
Product Registration 5 Distribution Rights MonitorMouse for OS/2 and its support software may be distributed freely in executable form with any software you develop using them.

Installing MonitorMouse for OS/2 • Before you Begin 7 • Configure your Controller 8 • Copy the Software 8 • Modify CONFIG.SYS 9 • Install the Touchscreen Control Panel 14 • Calibrate the Touchscreen 14 • Installing the Elo Wallpaper 15 BEFORE YOU BEGIN First be sure OS/2 is installed and operating properly with your mouse. As you will be modifying the CONFIG.SYS file, it is best to have the OS/2 installation disks or a bootable DOS disk readily available. This way, any problems in CONFIG.

Elo typically ships touchscreen controllers preconfigured for use with Elo software, including MonitorMouse for OS/2.
Step 3 - Modify CONFIG.SYS 9 Create a subdirectory on your hard disk and copy the files into it. For example, CD \ MD ELO COPY A:*.* ELO International Versions International versions of the Touchscreen Control Panel are included in subdirectories on the MonitorMouse for OS/2 disk. Replace ELOCAL2.DLL and ELOCAL2.HLP on your hard disk with the versions from the appropriate subdirectory. STEP 3 - MODIFY CONFIG.SYS MonitorMouse for OS/2 is installed by commands in CONFIG.SYS.

14 Chapter 2 - Installing MonitorMouse for OS/2 STEP 4 - INSTALL THE TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL PANEL The Touchscreen Control Panel program, ELOCAL2.EXE, is a Presentation Manager application for calibrating the touchscreen and setting various options. See Figure 2-1. Add the \ELO\ELOCAL2.EXE program to the System Setup Folder and label the icon "Touchscreen". This is accomplished as follows: 1. Open the OS/2 System folder, then System Setup. 2. Open the Templates folder. 3.
Installing the Elo Wallpaper 15 Figure 2-1. MonitorMouse for OS/2 Touchscreen Control Panel INSTALLING THE ELO WALLPAPER ELO.BMP can be used to display Elo “wallpaper” when giving demos of MonitorMouse for OS/2. To load, copy the file ELO.BMP to the \OS2\BITMAP directory. Call up the pop-up menu for the desktop with the right mouse button, then choose Open/Settings/Background/Image/Tiled, and select ELO.BMP.

Using MonitorMouse for OS/2 • Touchscreen Control Panel 17 • Tips on Using the Touchscreen in Presentation Manager 20 • Tips on Public Access Kiosk Applications 22 • Programming Options 24 TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL PANEL The MonitorMouse for OS/2 Touchscreen Control Panel (see Figure 2-1, page 15) is detailed in the following sections. Calibration Select Calibrate to initiate the calibration sequence. Follow the on-screen instructions. You will be given the opportunity to confirm the calibration points.
18 Chapter 3 - Using MonitorMouse for OS/2 affected by horizontal and vertical adjustments on the monitor and by the physical mounting of the touchscreen. Additional calibration complications include image blooming, where brightlycolored images expand, and the "pincushion" effect, which causes the corners of the display to be stretched. Poor display linearity can cause similarly-sized boxes to be larger at the edges of the screen than they are in the middle, or vice-versa.
Touchscreen Control Panel 19 move, nor will any other clicks be simulated until your finger is lifted and the screen retouched. Mode 1 Left button clicking only. No dragging or right button is supported. Works with large and small targets. The mouse pointer follows your sliding finger and the left button is clicked at the point of release (lift-off). Mode 5 Left button clicking and dragging. No right button is supported.
20 Chapter 3 - Using MonitorMouse for OS/2 Click Sound on Touches A check box is available in the Touchscreen Control Panel for enabling/disabling the "click" sound from the PC’s internal speaker for each touch. Audible feedback is important because the touchscreen does not have any tactile feedback mechanism. CONFIG.SYS is updated with the new setting (-b flag). Beeps are enabled by default. Double-Click Area The double-click area may be specified in the Touchscreen Control Panel.
Tips on Using the Touchscreen in Presentation Manager 21 2. Open the Mouse icon. A Settings notebook will be displayed. 3. Select the Pointers tab. 4. Highlight the arrow icon. Select Edit. 5. With the Icon Editor, select File/New to create a null cursor. Select File/Save. 6. Close the notebook. Resizing Windows See Border Width, page 20. Menus Menus are best navigated by sliding along the menu bar, then down a drop-down menu. Highlighting will follow your finger, indicating the position of touch.
22 Chapter 3 - Using MonitorMouse for OS/2 window is maximized, you may touch the upper-right corner to restore the window, touch the top to click on the window title, and double-tap the upper-left corner to close the window. Option Buttons and Check Boxes It is easier to select an option by touching the option name rather than touching the option button. The same is true with check boxes.
Tips on Public Access Kiosk Applications 23 6. Optimize the application for speed. A quick response keeps the user's attention. Users will walk away from a sluggish system. Speedy systems also reduce vandalism. Do not use a graphics mode with higher than necessary colors/resolution. It will only slow down the system. (Use of 256 colors is typically more important than resolution above 640x480.) 7. The application must be intuitive. Guide the user. Limit choices. Test the application on focus groups.
24 Chapter 3 - Using MonitorMouse for OS/2 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Presentation Manager applications can launch the Touchscreen Control Panel (ELOCAL2.EXE) with the DosExecPgm() function. It is also possible to directly call the calibration procedure in the Touchscreen Control Panel by executing ELOCAL2.
$SSHQGL[ $ Configuring Your Controller • General Information 25 • Controller Data Sheets 26 GENERAL INFORMATION This appendix describes how to configure your controller’s switch and/or jumper settings for use with MonitorMouse for OS/2. Controllers are typically shipped pre-configured for use with MonitorMouse for OS/2. Your controller’s switch and jumper settings can be found on one of the next few pages.
26 Appendix A - Configuring Your Controller The following table lists the devices normally assigned to each IRQ: IRQ 2 3 4 5 6 7 Device Mapped to IRQ9 COM2 COM1 LPT2 Floppy disk controller LPT1 Below are Elo’s recommendations for choosing an interrupt, in order of preference. Skip the IRQ if a conflict may exist. 5, 7, 2, 3, 4, 6 CONTROLLER DATA SHEETS Setup information for each controller begins on a new page. Skip to the appropriate page for your controller.
