Installing the Serial Touch Driver for Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS
You must have a DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) installed for your mouse if you wish to
continue using your mouse along with your touchmonitor in DOS.
To install Windows 3.x and MS-DOS from Windows 98/95, follow the directions below:
1 Insert the CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 From DOS, type d:\EloDos_W31 to change to the correct directory on the CD-ROM (your
CD-ROM drive may be mapped to a different drive letter).
3 Type install and press Enter to start the installation.
4 Align the touchscreen.
You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding.
To run the INSTALL program:
1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver install files.
2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose d:\EloDos_W31 from the
displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may use its 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
finalinstructions.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within Windows 3.1 with
the Touchscreen Control Panel.

About TouchmonitorAdjustments
Most likely there will be no need to be adjust your touchmonitor. However, variations in video
output and application may require adjustments to optimize display quality.
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 to AppendixA.
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 de-
tected, 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 in-
formation 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.
