HANDLING THE EQUIPMENT

Switching on
The equipment is switched on by pushing the POWER button on the side panel. The LED indicator will light
up and the installed operating system will be launched (Fig. 1.1).
Note: For OS Linux CentOS 5.5 is pre-defined user, username: elcom, password: elcom
(root has password elcom123)
Switching off
The equipment can be switched off using the standard operating system procedure, or by pressing the
POWER button (OS Windows, Linux) (Fig. 1.1).
Restarting
If an emergency restart of the equipment is required, press RESET (Fig. 1.1).
Windows XP
CALIBRATION OF THE TOUCHSCREEN PANEL
Upon first use of the equipment it is necessary to calibrate the touch screen display. It is also necessary to
calibrate the display in cases involving a shift in the calibration points. You can arrive at the calibration of
the touch screen display through:
OS Windows: START - PROGRAMS - TOUCHKIT CONFIGURE UTILITY
OS Linux CentOS: SYSTEM - ADMINISTRATION - TOUCHPANEL CALIBRATION
At which point a window will open showing the different settings tabs. Select the tab “Tools“ with the
following to fig.2.1.
Figure 2.1 Tab for setting the calibration
13
Handling the equipment

4-Point Calibration
During calibration, the symbol of a cross with a circle will gradually appear in each corner of the monitor. For
proper calibration, it is necessary to hold down the center of the symbol until it turns blue. In this way you
ensure the setting of the exact value regarding the pressing point on the display.
Figure 2.2 Configuring calibration points during 4-point calibration
Clear and Calibrate
This command deletes all current settings of parameters on the touch screen monitor and subsequently
performs a 4-point calibration.
Linearization
This is the calibration of the 9 or 25 points which are uniformly placed on the touch screen monitor. By
performing linearization, you will achieve a higher precision and linearity on the touch screen panel. The
process for linearization is similar to that of 4-point calibration.

Handling the equipment

Draw Test
This instrument serves for verifying the precision and checking the functionality of the touch screen panel.
The command “Clear“ clears the surface and deletes all objects drawn. The command “Quit“ terminates
the drawing instrument.
Setting up the touch panel
Arrive at the menu for setting up the touch screen panel through:
OS Windows: START - PROGRAMS - TOUCHKIT CONFIGURE UTILITY
OS Linux CentOS: SYSTEM - ADMINISTRATION - TOUCHPANEL CALIBRATION
A window will open with various tabs. Select the “Settings“ tab.

Calibration of the touch panel
Perform the calibration of the touch panel in Windows 7 if the response to touch control is inaccurate or
have other problems with touch controls. Start the calibration by clicking “Calibrate...” button in the “Tablet
PC Settings.” window. During calibration follow the instructions displayed, tap each crosshair symbol, which
appears in the corners of the screen. If the calibration has already been done, one crosshair symbol appears for
each corner of the screen. If calibration data haven’t yet been stored, or were restored to their original values,
four crosshair symbols are gradually displayed in every corner. After you have completed the calibration, the
operating system will prompt you to save your settings. Confirm by pressing down the “Yes” button.

DISPLAY AND IMAGE SETTINGS
Color correction
To adjust the contrast and brightness, press and hold the panel on the desktop until local menu appears
(mouse right–click). Then select “Graphics Properties”. A window opens with the settings, choose the category
“Color enhancement”. Then select display for which you want to change settings (the internal display or

Handling the equipment

Note : In Windows 7 portion of the settings included in the driver (such as display rotation) is also available from
standard system dialogs. It doesn’t matter where you change the settings, parameters are system–wide.
WIRELESS CONNECTIONS
If your Uniq PC contains optional WiFi and/or Bluetooth components, you can use them to communicate with
other devices supporting these wireless standards. You need to use either built–in operating system functions
or special utilities (supplied by communication device vendor together with the driver or by a third party) to
create and use connections. Please refer to your operating system or respective device documentation.
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING A USB DEVICE
When connecting any equipment to the Uniq PC observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the given device.
After connection of a USB device to a Uniq PC port, the operating system detects it and if it has a driver
available for the device, it will load the driver and the device can then be used. If a driver is not automatically
available, it is necessary to search for one and install it. Drivers are usually located on the CD supplied with
the devices or can be downloaded from the Web site of the manufacturer.
If after connecting and using a USB device you want to disconnect, it is a good idea to remove it safely – first
in the operation system (in order that all device operations be completed) and then after notification of the
operating system to physically pull out the device’s connector. The procedure for safe removal of a device
depends on the operating system used. Connecting and disconnecting USB devices when the Uniq PC is
switched off is always safe.
Note : Not all equipment allows for safe removal of hardware. Safe removal makes sense mainly with equipment
which stores data (hard disks, USB memory sticks) and which also use the write buffer. Equipment which is
not shown on the list of equipment that can be safely removed can be disconnected without the procedure
for safe removal.
