displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may use its defaults.
INSTALLcreates 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 yourAUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select. INSTALLmakes a copy

commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.
When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file calledGO.BAT in the subdirectory you specified.GO
loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program ELOCALIB, and gives you some final
instructions.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within Windows 3.1 with the
Touchscreen Control Panel.

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 1280 x
1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use theDisplay control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 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 no 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 differ-
ence for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency or the sync signal polarities are differ-
ent from the default modes.
