Thank you for your purchase of the Touch Panel.
To use the product connecting with a Windows XP or Vista computer, the touch panel driver must

compatible with the Microsoft serial mouse to provide the application program a user interface
equivalent to a mouse. Therefore the existing application can be operated with the touch panel and
touch panel application developments can be carried out using a mouse.
The operation settings for the touch panel can be changed using the setting program.
This manual is intended to the users familiar with Microsoft Windows operations.
