---------------------------------
PRODUCT SUMMARY
---------------------------------
MT 7 Software, a member of the MicroTouch(tm) Software Suite, provides
unified driver support for MicroTouch touch technologies over a wide
range of operating systems. This version, 7.13, adds support for
Microsoft Windows 7 and Server 2008 operating systems. This product
includes a driver, a control panel, a calibration tool, and a touch
monitor that provides enhanced touch features on your Windows XP, Server
2003, Vista, Server 2008, and 7 operating systems.

---------------------------------
FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
---------------------------------
* Issue 199: The installer now queries the user if to use the touch
  digitizer, HID mouse, or legacy mouse drivers. Before the installer
  attempted to exclusively use the touch digitizer for Windows 7 and
  Server 2008 R2 and the HID mouse driver for all other operating
  systems unless the user selected an obscure legacy support option.
* Issue 188: The calibration data of a CX controller now is restored
  correctly if a calibration is canceled or otherwise fails.
* Issue 189: Successful linearization of a CX controller now triggers
  calibration.
* Issue 192: The installer properly detects the type of driver
  previously installed.
* Issue 196: The HID mouse driver now supports the right-click tool. Do
  not use the right-click tool with the touch digitizer driver; instead
  use the native Windows right-click feature for touch.
* Issue 200: The serial bus driver no longer sends diagnostic messages
  to the system event log.
* Issue 203: Corrected the handling of pen and finger frequencies for
  the SX controllers.
* Issue 225: The Control Panel’s About dialog now properly identifies
  the latest Windows operating systems.
* Issue 226: Fixed a memory leak related to loading auxiliary databases.
  The Monitor program triggered this leak.
* Issue 238: The Monitor program is now responsible for sending 'beeps'
  to the system speaker. The drivers no longer send beeps to the system
  speaker.
* The installer now copies TwFramework.cfg to the install directory.
  This reverts to the behavior seen in earlier versions of MT7 but
  removed in the first release of MT 7.13.
* The installer removes the file TwHIDKmdf.sys when installing the
  legacy driver on a system that previously used the touch digitizer or
  HID mouse driver.
* Upon uninstall, the MT 7 package removes old devices generated by the
  Windows HID subsystem when a PX controller was connected to a system
  before installing MT7.
* The touch digitizer driver now supports the lift-off touch mode.
* The drivers now support the production PX controllers. The drivers
  still support the legacy version of the PX controller found in the
  multi-touch development systems.
* The drivers more reliably recover touch from serial controllers after
  exiting a system sleep mode.

---------------------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------
Hardware Prerequisites

* MT 7 runs on most computers that run on 32-bit or 64-bit versions of
  the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server
  2008, or Windows 7 operating systems.
* One or more of the following MicroTouch touch screen controllers:
  - MicroTouch EX serial, USB, or HID controllers
  - MicroTouch CX USB controllers
  - MicroTouch DX serial or USB controllers
  - MicroTouch PX serial or USB controllers
  - MicroTouch RX serial or USB controllers
  - MicroTouch SX serial controllers
* Depending on the touch screen, either a serial (COM) port or a USB
  port is required.

Software Prerequisites

* MT 7 requires a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Windows XP, Windows
  Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7
  operating systems.
* The help file requires a PDF viewer.

---------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------------------
* Using Windows Explorer, browse to the software distribution and
  double-click on the Setup program to start the installation. If you
  downloaded the distribution, unzip the file into another directory
  beforehand.
* Follow the instructions given by the Setup program. There are
  normally three options: Full, Typical, and Custom. If a version of
  MT 7 Software for Windows is already installed, a fourth option,
  Upgrade, is also available. Full installs all options. Typical does
  not install the Calibration Tool or Multiple Monitor support. You
  may choose to Custom or Upgrade to customize your installation.
  These allow you to select which components to install.
* During installation, you will get messages about finding new
  hardware. This is the MT 7 software registering your touch
  controllers.

---------------------------------
DRIVER SELECTION
---------------------------------
3M Touch Systems now offers drivers that leverage Microsoft Windows'
native support for touch devices and mice. Because of this, a new dialog
appears during installation asking you to select a driver.

If this is a new installation, the default option reflects the driver
that best suits your system.

If this is not a new installation, the chosen option reflects the driver
you currently use.

Note that some systems may not show a touch digitizer driver option.
This option appears only if your system supports Windows' Tablet PC.
Tablet PC is supported on Windows 7, Vista, and some XP operating
systems.

---------------------------------
SILENT INSTALLATION
---------------------------------
The first step in producing a silent installation is to record your
standard installation. Open a command line window and set your working
directory to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows setup
program. Issue the command "setup -r" and run the installation
normally.

When the installation finishes, it creates a recording file,
setup.iss, in your Windows system directory (such as C:\Windows). Copy
this file to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows setup
program.

To run the silent installation, simply issue the command "setup -s".
This replays the installation you recorded above.

Note that the silent installation fails if the installer reacts
differently than when it was recorded. For example, if you record an
installation using the "Upgrade" option and replay it on a system
without MT 7 for Windows, the installation may fail. You should test
the silent installation on all expected configurations.

---------------------------------
MULTIPLE MONITOR SUPPORT
---------------------------------
This version of the control panel introduces support for multiple
monitors and touch screen systems. At this time, this new feature does
not support "splitter" systems where two monitors appear as a single
monitor to the Windows operating system.

To see if your system uses video splitters, open the Windows Control
Panel and select the Display option. Go to the "Settings" tab. If the
number of monitors shown is different from the number of physical
monitors, then you have a splitter system.

This is only a problem if each of the monitors shows a different part
of the desktop. If each monitor shows the same part of the desktop,
the MT 7 for Windows software can support this.

The MT 7 for Windows software can support such systems with additional
manual configuration. Contact your Field Application Engineer or
Technical Support representative at 3M Touch Systems, Inc., for
additional information.

---------------------------------
HIDING THE CURSOR
---------------------------------
In some applications, it is desirable to hide the cursor. The MT 7 for
Windows software provides a blank cursor file so that you can hide the
cursor.

During installation, select either the "Full" or "Custom" installation
option. If you select "Custom", go to the "Utilities and Tools"
section and select the "Blank Cursor" option. This puts a file,
BLANK.CUR, into the MT 7 for Windows directory.

Copy this file into your Windows "Cursors" directory. There should be
other files with the extension "cur" in this directory.

Open the Windows Control Panel and select the Mouse option. Select the
"Pointer" tab and click on the "Browse" button. Browse to the Windows
cursor directory if not already there and select the BLANK.CUR file.
Click on "OK" to set the hidden cursor.

---------------------------------
LEFT-HANDED MICE
---------------------------------
Using the control panel, it is possible to change which button on a
mouse generates the "left" and "right" clicks. This feature allows
left-handed people to use their index finger to produce a left click.
This setting causes the touch screen driver to also reverse the
meaning of a touch. Normally, a touch produces a left click. With the
changed setting above, a touch starts producing a right-click.

To address this, edit the file "TwFactory.cfg" in the MT 7 for Windows
software directory. If this file is empty, add in the text:

   <Touch>
   </Touch>

Between these two lines, add a new line:

   SwapMouseButtons=1

Save the file.

Open a command line window and set your working directory to the MT 7
for Windows directory. Issue the command:

   TwCfgUtil /u TwFactory.cfg

At this point, your touches start producing the desired left-clicks.

If your system supports multiple users, you may need to create
separate files, such as TwLeft.cfg and TwRight.cfg. In TwLeft.cfg, set
SwapMouseButtons to 1 and in TwRight.cfg, set SwapMouseButtons to 0.
Add the above TwCfgUtil to each user's Startup menu or login script,
using TwLeft or TwRight as appropriate.

---------------------------------
HELP DOES NOT DISPLAY
---------------------------------
The help file is a PDF file. You need to obtain a PDF viewer or reader
program to view the help file.

-----------------------------------
NO TOUCH FROM PCT DEVELOPMENT UNITS
-----------------------------------
The original PCT development units used an early PX controller that did
not support serial plug-and-play. Starting with version 7.13 Build 2,
the Setup program assumes the use of the newer PX controllers that do
support serial plug-and-play. If you are using a serial interface with
a PCT development system and are using a custom installation, also
select EX serial controller support to regain touch behavior.

---------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
---------------------------------
* Installation
  - Issue B170: If other users are logged on the system, uninstall may
    not properly clean up all files.
  - Issues B220: If installing only with PX serial support, the control
    panel does not work until after a reboot of the system.

* Calibration Tool
  - Issue 343: On a multiple touch screen system, when prompted to
    select a touch screen for calibration, if the "Cancel" button is
    pressed instead of selecting a touch screen, then the calibration
    tool inappropriately presents an error message.
  - Issue B194: The /M:F and /M:P switches do not work in TwCalib.exe.

* Miscellaneous
  - Issue 220: The right-click tool responds only to touches and not
    to the mouse.
  - Issue 843: The Windows' "swap mouse button" setting does not
    affect MT 7. See the above section "Left-Handed Mice" for details.
  - Issue 849: The control panel's "Version Information" tool does not
    show the version number of the drivers.
  - Issue 885: All users must be at the same security level to run the
    Control Panel.
  - Issue 893: Edge adjustments affect manual linearization. Before
    performing manual linearization, change the value of all edge
    adjustment sliders to the "0" setting. You can restore the sliders
    to their original settings after performing the manual
    linearization.
  - Issue B165: Rotating a display with the new HID-emulation driver
    does not work properly. To remedy, remove 'Touch Monitor' from your
    Windows 'Startup' menu.
  - Issue B223: Cancelling work from the multiple monitor mapping tool
    does not restore the previous settings.

  calibration. For SC controllers, the third target is for the
  controller's three-point calibration. For other controllers, the
  third target is a software target that does not affect the
  controller's calibration. Before, the calibration terminated with a
  liftoff for SC controllers and a touchdown for other controllers.
  Now, the software waits for a liftoff for all controllers.
* Issue 814: The control panel's "Version Information" tool now shows
  the version number of the TwService.exe program.
* Issue 850, 859: The Touch Monitor program is no longer an option and
