FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------
* This is the initial release of the Windows(R) XP Embedded Touch
Screen Driver. The driver communicates with the touch screen
controller and converts touches to mouse events.
* This is the initial release of the Control Panel. This tool allows
you to calibrate your touch screen, adjust touch modes, enable the
right-click tool, and perform other actions. Consult help from the
development machine for details.
* This is the initial release of the Calibration Tool. This tool
aligns the touch screen with the video display to enhance accuracy.
* This is the initial release of the Touch Monitor Tool. This program
runs in the background and controls some touch functions, such as
the right-click tool and the virtual mouse.
* This is the initial release of the Help files. This currently will
only install in the development system containing the Target
Designer.
------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------------------------
Hardware Prerequisites
* An Intel(R) i386(tm)-compatible target computer capable of running
Microsoft Windows XPe is required.
* A development computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP is
required.
* A MicroTouch EX II-series, SCx-series, or IST touch screen
controller, either serial or USB, is required.
* Depending on the touch screen, either a serial (COM) port or a USB
port is required.
Software Prerequisites
* MT 7 requires Microsoft Windows XP Embedded on the target machine to
run.
* Microsoft's Target Designer and Component Database Manager that are
compatible with the XPe operating system are required on the
development machine.
* The development machine must run either Windows 2000 or XP.
------------------------------------------------------
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. The installer
loads the Touch Screen Driver and Utilities including On-line Help
(optional) files on the development system.
* The Installer puts the files in a default directory called
C:\MT7_XPe\. You may select a different location if desired.
------------------------------------------------------
LOADING MT 7 INTO THE COMPONENTS DATABASE MANAGER
------------------------------------------------------
Use the Microsoft Component Database Manager (CDM) to add the MT 7
components to your XPe database. In the CDM, go to the Database tab
and click on the Import button. In the resulting dialog, browse to
C:\MT7_XPe and select the MT7.SLD file. Click the Import button to
make the MT 7 components available to Target Designer.
------------------------------------------------------
MT 7 COMPONENT SELECTION IN TARGET DESIGNER
------------------------------------------------------
Use the Microsoft Target Designer to select the specific MT 7
components you want for your target device. Inside the Target
Designer, the Component Browser contains the MT 7 components you added
with the CDM.
Use this Browser to select the MT 7 components for your target image.
The only required component is the MT 7 Touch Screen Driver. In the
Component Browser, look under "Hardware:Devices:Mice and other
pointing devices". Select the 3M Touch Systems MT 7 Touch Screen
Driver.
Whether you are using a serial or USB controller, the MT 7 touch
screen driver requires USB support. You must include the XPe USB
support component in your target device.

MT 7 has several additional components, found in the Component Browser
under "Software:Application:OEM", that you may select according to the
needs of your target system.
The "MT 7 Control Panel" component allows the end user to calibrate
their touch screen and configure and modify some touch behavior.
The "MT 7 Calibration Tool" component allows the user to calibrate
their touch screen.
