------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 7.11, adds support for the
new MicroTouch(tm) DST touch screen technology on the Microsoft(R)
Windows(R) CE operating systems, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 5.0.
Intended for touch system integrators, MT 7 provides flexibility in
defining how the touch screen affects the system. This product
includes a Touch Screen Driver, a Control Panel, a Calibration Tool
and a Touch Monitor Tool.

------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------
* This is the initial release of the Control Panel and help files. The
  Control Panel enables you to calibrate your touch screen, adjust
  touch modes, enable the right-click tool and perform other actions.
  Consult help found on the development machine for details. The help
  files will only install in the development system containing the
  Platform Builder.
* This is the initial release of support for the MicroTouch(tm) DST
  touch screen technology.
* This is the initial release of support for the Microsoft(R) Windows
  CE 5.0 operating system.
* The custom installation option of the installer allows greater
  control over what is installed. You can now unselect some components
  to eliminate support you do not need.

For SR1,

* Issues 729 and 730: Corrected a problem with hive registries where
  the driver would eventually fail after several boots of the device.
* Issue 731: Corrected the behavior of the SerialPortNoSearch
  parameter which would occasionally fail, allowing a search of the
  listed serial ports.

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

* An Intel(R) i386(tm)-compatible target computer capable of running
  Microsoft Windows CE is required.
* A development computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP is
  required.
* A MicroTouch EX II-series, SCx-series, or DST 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

* Microsoft Windows CE, version 4.0 or greater is needed on the target
  machine.
* A version of Platform Builder for Microsoft Windows CE that is
  compatible with the above CE operating systems is 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.

* The Installer requires that Platform Builder be installed in your
  Windows 2000 or XP machine.  The Installer puts the driver and any
  tools selected by user into the proper Platform Builder directories.

* Follow the instructions given by the Setup program.  First you will
  be asked to browse to a directory in your Platform Builder
  installation. Normally a platform directory will look like this:
    C:\WINCE###\PLATFORM\CEPC\FILES
  or a specific project directory, such as this:
    C:\WINCE###\PUBLIC\MyProject\WINCE###\CEPC\OAKS\FILES

* The Installer places most its files in a central directory called
  "C:\MT7_CE\x86". This allows multiple Platform Builder platforms and
  projects to access the same files.

* The Installer attempts to change the Platform.bib and Platform.reg,
  or Project.bib and Project.reg, files in a Platform Builder system.
  The changes are "#include" directives that add MT 7 components to
  your target system.

* With the Installer you may choose to customize your installation.
  This allows you to select which components to install. The following
  components are selectable.
  - The Touch Screen Driver is mandatory to operate the touch screen.
  - The Calibration Tool is recommended.
  - The Control Panel includes calibration support and is recommended
    if additional settings are needed.
  - The Touch Monitor Tool is required for features such as the right-
    click tool and the virtual mouse.

* The Installer produces a file, TwTouch.bib, that reflects the
  components you selected.

* For the touch screen driver to work, you must include USB support
  in your Windows CE image, regardless of the type of touch screen you
  use.

------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLATFORM BUILDER FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS CE 4.0
------------------------------------------------------------------
As installed, MT 7 should operate under the Platform Builder for
Windows CE 4.1 and above without any user changes.

The MT 7 Installer places an "#include" directive in Platform.reg and
Platform.bib to include the files TwTouch.reg and TwTouch.bib. In
Platform Builder 4.0 this directive does not work. Therefore you need
to replace this "#include" directive with the contents of the MT 7
files.

Edit Platform.bib and locate the include directive for TwTouch.bib.
Open TwTouch.bib in another editor, copy its contents to the clipboard
and paste the clipboard into Platform.bib, replacing the include
directive. Save Platform.bib.

Repeat the editing with Platform.reg, replacing the include directive
with the contents of TwTouch.reg.

If you installed MT 7 into a project instead of a platform, the files
you need to edit are Project.bib and Project.reg.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTING MULTIPLE WINDOWS CE VERSIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------
The MT 7 Installer provides a different version of the driver for each
version of CE starting with 4.0 and later. Even though version 4.0 of
the driver appears to work on later versions of CE, you may want to
replace the default 4.0 selection with the matching version of CE.

Inside TwTouch.bib, locate the line that includes TwTouch.dll and
replace the "\400" in the path with either "\410", "\420" or "\500",
depending on the Platform Builder you are using (4.1, 4.2 or 5.0).
Save TwTouch.bib and exit the editor.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTING MULTIPLE PROJECTS
------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, the Installer places MT 7 in a central directory where it
can be referenced by multiple projects. It also installs the
TwTouch.reg and TwTouch.bib files in a single platform or project
directory. Finally it adds include statements to the Platform.bib and
Platfom.reg or Project.bib and Project.reg referencing the TwTouch.*
files. To include MT 7 in additional platforms or projects, follow
these steps.

Re-run the installer and browse to a new platform or project directory
which contain either Platform.bib and .reg or Project.bib and .reg
files. If using Windows CE 4.0, then see the section "Instructions for
Platform Builder Version 4.0" above for details.

If all your projects use the same MT 7 configuration, then there is
nothing more to do. You should be able to build your projects.

In the TwTouch.reg file of each project, an "#include" directive
points to C:\MT7_CE\X86\TwParam.reg. Change this directive to point
to the project-specific copy of this configuration file.

If you installed MT 7 into a project instead of a platform, the file
you need to edit is Project.bib.

Be aware that if you install multiple copies of MT 7 in different
projects the uninstall will remove the central copy of MT 7 causing
all other projects to lose the MT 7 references.  Therefore instead of
using uninstall simply delete the include statements from the
particular project files.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SLOW DRAW
------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Draw mode can be slow on certain Windows CE machines. For
example, drawing a curve inside a draw application may produce ragged
lines and the cursor may lag behind. The "IOPollDelay" parameter
adjusts the behavior of draw mode. Adjusting the default value of this
parameter may improve the behavior and appearance of the curve without
affecting overall performance of the Windows CE system. You can add
this parameter to the system by editing the text file TwParams.reg
found in C:\MT7_CE\x86. To add this parameter with a new default value
insert the IOPollDelay line after the line below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TwTouch\Parameters]
    "IOPollDelay"=dword:10

A value between 1 and 20, such as 10 may work best for your particular
application. After adding or modifying the value of this parameter you
need to rebuild the Windows CE image and test the draw behavior.

For this initial version of DST touch screens it is recomended that 
only Touch or Liftoff modes be used.

------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
------------------------------------------------------------------
* The software does not yet support any touch sound.
* Currently, the use of multiple touch screens and monitors is not
  supported.
* Issue 220: The right-click tool does not respond to the mouse. It
  responds only to touches.
* Issue 363: The uninstaller may not properly cleanup changes to
  Platform.bib and Platform.reg.
* Issue 407: The "#include" directive inserted into Platform.bib and
  Platform.reg may not work on all versions of Windows CE.
* Issue 430: The Linearization process does not recognize ESC or ALT
  F4.
* Issue 500: Restoring the software or resetting the controller may
  cause the pen/finger mode setting to disagree with the actual mode
  in a touch pen controller. Rebooting or cycling through the settings
  synchronizes the software and controller.
* Issue 536: The Control Panel does not recognize ESC or ALT F4.
