Chapter 1. Introduction
PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is the most popular touchscreen control board on the market.
PenMount control boards, chipsets, and software support a wide range of configurations,
applications, and operating systems. Designed for easy configuration and superior touchscreen
performance, the PenMount 6000 control boards are offered for both RS-232 and USB interfaces
except 6300 which only supports USB interface.
PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is a circuit board that you install between a touchscreen and
a host computer. The control board converts touch input into digital data, which is then converted by
software into data that emulates the input from a computer’s mouse device.
The control boards are comprised of an interface board for mounting on a host computer, a
controller chip, other supporting components, and software drivers. The bundled software drivers
offer unique functions and support the most popular hardware platforms and operating systems.
PenMount control boards are designed not only to be user-friendly, but also to support engineers.
All PenMount control boards provide a diagnostic LED that allows both users and engineers to
check the touchscreen and the control board functions.

1.2. PenMount 6000 Control Boards
PenMount 6000 control boards are configured for the use with both RS-232 and USB

touchscreen, a power supply (when using RS-232 interface) and a computer system’s
RS-232 or USB port. PenMount 6000 offers four control boards:
Model Interface Touchscreen Wire Support

1.3. Drivers & Utilities
All of the 6000 control boards come bundled with software drivers and utilities that
support the most popular hardware platforms and operating systems. Once you install the
drivers and utilities, you can use this software to configure and calibrate your touchscreen.
Drivers for PenMount 6000 boards support the following operating systems:
