Installing the Driver Software
Elo TouchSystems provides driver software that allows your touchmonitor to work with your
computer. Drivers are located on the enclosed CD-ROM for the following operating systems:
• WindowsXP
• Windows 2000
• Windows Me
• Windows 98
• Windows 95
• WindowsNT4.0
Additional drivers and driver information for other operating systems are available on the Elo
TouchSystems web site at www.elotouch.com.
Your Elo touchmonitor is plug-and-play compliant. Information on the video capabilities of your
touchmonitor is sent to your video display adapter when Windows starts. If Windows detects your
touchmonitor, follow the instructions on the screen to install a generic plug-and-play monitor.

Depending upon whether you connected the serial communication cable or the USB
communication cable, you should install only the serial driver or the USB driver.

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

OPERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Your touchmonitor will not likely 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 1024 x
768 at 60k-75 Hz. 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 toAppendixA.
All control adjustments 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.

Preset Modes
To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default setting modes that
are most commonly used as given in the table below. If any of these display modes are detected, the
monitor automatically adjusts the picture size and centering. When none of the mode is matched,
the user can store their preferred modes in the user modes. The monitor is capable of storing up to
7 user modes. The only condition to store as a user mode is the new display information must have
1 KHz difference for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency or the sync signal
polarities are different from the default modes.
