IMP-A1x1 User Manual 1

1.2 Fea tures of the IMP-A1x1 series
The IMP-A151/A171/A191 are fanless / compact panel-mount industrial PCs, which come with a 15"
(luminance of 400 cd/m²), 17" (luminance of 350 cd/m²) or 19" (luminance of 350 cd/m²) TFT LCD.
They are powered by an Intel®Atom D2550 1.8GHz processor.
®
These industrial panel PCs also feature a PCI expansion slot, three COM ports, four USB 2.0 ports,
one 2.5” HDD drive, a wide range DC 11~32V power input, etc.
The 'T' models are equiped with an analog resistive touch screen while the 'GT' models come with a
GFG (Glass-Film-Glass) touch screen.
GFG touch screens are not only resistant to scratch and abrasion but also to most of the chemicals.
Apart from that, glass is transparent and does not impair the brilliance of the picture at all.

There are 2 screws to open the cover giving
you access to the PCI expansion slot.
Shown in the picture is the PCI expansion
slot as circled. It can be inserted with any
half-size PCI add-on card.
(In this case the entire back cover of the
Panel PC is removed to give you a clear
picture of the position the PCI slot)
Slide the PCI add-on card into the slot.
Carefully push the add-on card into the rail
of the slot.
After placing the add-on card tighten the
screw as circled.
Close the chassis in the same way as it was
opened.

PenMount Control Panel
The functions of the PenMount Control Panel are Device, Multiple Monitors ,Tools and About,
which are explained in the following sections.
Device
In this window, you can find out that how many devices are detected on your system.
Calibrate
This function offers two ways to calibrate your touch screen. ‘Standard Calibration’ adjusts most
touch screens. ‘Advanced Calibration’ adjusts aging touch screens.
Standard Calibration Click this button and arrows appear pointing to red squares. Use your
finger or stylus to touch the red squares in sequence. After the fifth red
point calibration is complete. To skip, press ‘ESC’.
Advanced Calibration Advanced Calibration uses 4, 9, 16 or 25 points to effectively calibrate
touch panel linearity of aged touch screens. Click this button and touch
the red squares in sequence with a stylus. To skip, press ‘ESC’.

NOTE: The older the touch screen, the more Advanced Mode calibration points you need for an
accurate calibration. Use a stylus during Advanced Calibration for greater accuracy. Please follow
the step as below:
3. Come back to “PenMount Control Panel”, select Device to calibrate, then click
Advanced Calibration.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a stylus during Advanced Calibration for greater accuracy.

Plot Calibration Data Check this function to have touch panel linearity comparison graph
appear when you finish Advanced Calibration.
The black lines reflect the ideal linearity assumed by Penmount’s
application program while the blue lines show the approximate linearity
calculated by Penmount’s application program as the result of user’s
execution of Advanced Calibration.
Turn off EEPROM

Setting
Operation Mode
Mouse Emulation This operating mode will send left button down function when user
presses, and left button up function when user release its touch.
Click On Touch This operating mode will send a mouse click only on user’s touch.
Dragging is disabled in this mode.
Pen Input Emulation When using “Pen Input Emulation”, the PenMount device driver will not
send left mouse button right away, therefore, it is recommended to use
this mode with the “press and hold” right mouse button emulation, it will
be able to activate right mouse function on “Start Menu” and other utility.
Click On Release This operation mode will send a mouse click when user release its touch
operation. This feature works well when browsing certain web pages.
NOTE: The actual mouse functions generated by the above operating modes can be viewed from the
PenMount “DRAW” utility.

Multiple Monitors
Multiple Monitors support from two to six touch screen displays for one system.
The PenMount drivers for Windows 2000/XP support Multiple Monitors. This function supports from
two to six touch screen displays for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touch
screen control board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. The PenMount control
boards must be connected to the computer COM ports via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation
procedures are the same as for a single monitor. Multiple Monitors support the following modes:
 Windows Extends Monitor Function
 Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
 nVidia nView Function
NOTE: The Multiple Monitor function is for use with multiple displays only. Do not use this function if
you have only one touch screen display. Please note once you turn on this function the
rotating function is disabled.
Enable the multiple display function as follows:
1. Check the Enable Multiple Monitor Support box; then click Map Touch Screens to assign
touch controllers to displays.

2. When the mapping screen message appears, click OK.
3. Touch each screen as it displays “Please touch this monitor”. Following this sequence and
touching each screen is called mapping the touch screens.
4. Touching all screens completes the mapping and the desktop reappears on the monitors.
5. Select a display and execute the “Calibration” function. A message to start calibration appears.
Click OK.

8. Continue calibration for each monitor by clicking Standard Calibration and touching the red
squares.
NOTES:
1. If you use a single VGA output for multiple monitors, please do not use the Multiple Monitor
function.Just follow the regular procedure for calibration on each of your desktop monitors.
2. The Rotating function is disabled if you use the Multiple Monitor function.
3. If you change the resolution of display or screen address, you have to redo Map Touch
Screens, so the system understands where the displays are.
