2. HOW TO INSTALL/UPGRADE THE TOUCH SCREEN SOFTWARE
----------------------------------------------------
To install or upgrade the software onto your computer, you must have
Windows 9x running and a floppy disk drive. Follow these steps:
1. From the "Start" menu, select "Run". Enter the full path to the
installation utility in the "Open" field (e.g. A:\install.)
You can use the "Browse" button to find the install utility.
Choose OK to continue.
2. The "Dynapro Touch Screen installation" window will appear and
the first dialog will display the following information:
driver version, touch screen configuration, target directory and
target folder. You will not be able to change any of this
information. Select "Next" to proceed with the installation.
3. The next dialog will enable you to select the communication port for
the Touch Screen operation. Select the desired port from the list of
standard ports or define a custom port using the "Interrupts"
and "I/O Address" lists. Select "Back" to go to the previous
dialog, select "Cancel" to abort the installation or select "Next"
to proceed with the installation.
4. The last dialog will display all the entered installation information.
If you are satisfied with your choices, select "Install" to start the
installation. All installation steps will be displayed on the screen.
Once installation has been completed, you will be prompted to restart
Windows 9x. Select "Yes" to do so. When Windows 9x restarts, the
touch screen will be operational.
5. The touch screen must be aligned after installation to ensure proper
operation. Alignment ensures the touch screen is oriented and aligned
with the video display. To do this use the "Configuration" item from
the "Touch Screen Utilities" start sub-menu. Select "Alignment" and
then press the "Alignment" button. Follow the prompts, touching where
instructed. When satisified with the alignment, choose "Ok" to both save
and active the alignment points defined.
The installation process places the files contained on the installation
diskette into the following locations, on the hard drive where your Windows 9x
directory resides:
\TOUCH\W9x

3. CONCURRENT MOUSE AND TOUCH SCREEN OPERATION
-----------------------------------------------
The Windows 9x Touch Screen driver supports concurrent mouse and touch
screen operation. To facilitate this, you must ensure that an appropriate
driver is installed for your mouse. The recommended way for to achieve
this is via the "Add New Hardware" Wizard in the Control Panel. Connect
your mouse to the computer and instruct the Wizard to search for new
hardware by selecting "Yes" at the prompt on the first screen. Do NOT
select "No" and manually choose a mouse driver.
Once the Add New Hardware Wizard has detected your mouse and installed
the appropriate mouse driver, your mouse will work concurrently with
the touch screen.
If the Wizard fails to detect your mouse, then it can not be used
concurrently with the touch screen. A mouse that is detectable by
Windows 9x, such as a Microsoft or Logitech mouse is required.
4. EXPORTING/IMPORTING TOUCH SCREEN CONFIGURATIONS
---------------------------------------------------
Included with this software is a Touch Screen Configuration Import/Export
Utility (TOUCHINI.EXE). Installed with the touch screen software, this
utility is located in the \TOUCH\W9x directory. The utility allows you
to configure the touch screen driver by importing a file containing the
configuration data into the Windows 9x Registry. It will also extract the
current touch screen configuration from the Registry and write it to a file.
By using the TOUCHINI utility, you can easily generate a configuration file
that may be copied to other computers and then imported without requiring
manual configuration of each unit.
Exporting:
---------
To export the current configuration from the Windows 9x Registry into a
file, execute the following command from a Windows 9x DOS command prompt:
TOUCHINI /o
This creates a file called TOUCH.INI, which contains an ASCII representation
of the touch screen configuration. You can override the default filename
by specifying a file after the /o command line option (for example,
"TOUCHINI /oCONFIG.INI"). This file can later be used to import the same
configuration into your unit, as per the import instructions which follow.
Importing:
---------
To import a previously exported touch screen configuration file into the
Windows 9x Registry execute the following command from a Windows 9x DOS
command prompt:
TOUCHINI /i[file name]
where [file name] is the name of the file you previously exported to
(like CONFIG.INI in the above example). The new configuration will take
effect the next time you restart Windows 9x.
IMPORTANT: all previous touch screen configuration is erased during the
import process except alignment and communication port data.
5. NEW FEATURES NOT DESCRIBED IN MANUAL
---------------------------------------
NFI SENSITIVITY
---------------
If you are using a Dynapro NFI touch screen, you can adjust the sensitivity of
the touch detection for your touch screen by selecting the sensitivity button
from within the the Interface Configuration Options dialog. Sensitivity
ranges from low to high with six discrete levels as described below.
1. Low is the least sensitive and is best for large size bare fingers.
2. Best for medium to large size bare fingers.
3. The default setting which is for average size bare fingers.
4. Best for cotton gloved fingers.
5. Best for suede gloved fingers.
6. High is the most sensitive and is best when wearing thick rubber gloves.
Please Note: These sensitivity descriptions are approximate and are subject
to change depending on the environmental influences surrounding the unit.
After selecting sensitivity using the slider bar provided, you can test
the new settings before applying them by the test button. To apply your
selected setting press OK, or to quit and revert back to the previous setting
press Cancel.
6. UNINSTALLING THE TOUCH SCREEN DRIVER SOFTWARE
------------------------------------------------
To uninstall the touchscreen software you can use utility placed on your
Touch Screen directory "\TOUCH\W9x".
From the "Start" menu, select "Run" and enter the full path to the
uninstallation utility (e.g. C:\TOUCH\W9x\UNINSTAL.EXE) and follow the
on-line instructions.
7. DEVELOPER TOUCH ERROR DETECTION
-----------------------------------------
Application Developers can use the supplied Dynamic Link Library -
"toucherr.dll" to detect touch screen and controller errors during startup.
The DLL provides a single function "C" API that reads startup errors from the
registry and returns the error string to the caller.
Interface Specification:
function - TouchGetErrorLogString
The TouchGetErrorLogString function retrieves the data for the touch
error log value asociated with the DYNAPRO registry key.
LONG TouchGetErrorLogString
(
CHAR *pszBuffer, /* pointer to pre-allocated char buffer */
LONG *pnBufferSize /* size of the above char buffer */
)
Parameters:
- pszBuffer
Pointer to a buffer that receives the value's data. This parameter can be NULL
if the data is not required.
- pnBufferSize
A pointer to a variable that specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed
to by the pszBuffer parameter. When the function returns, this variable
contains the size of the data copied to pszBuffer parameter.
If the buffer specified by pszBuffer parameter is not large enough to hold the
data, the function returns the value ERROR_MORE_DATA, and stores the required
buffer size, in bytes, into the variable pointed to by pnbufferSize.
If pszBuffer is NULL, and nBufferSize is non-NULL, the function returns
ERROR_SUCCESS, and stores the size of the data, in bytes,
into the variable pointed to by pnbufferSize.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is an error code as defined
in WINERROR.H.
Sample Application Code:
The following is a sample of code used to access the dll and retrieve
the ErrorLog Value:
/* declarations */
typedef LONG (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC)(CHAR *,LONG *);
#define nERRORLOG_SIZE_MAX 1024
...
LONG YourErrorCheckFunction()
{
CHAR szValueBuffer[nERRORLOG_SIZE_MAX];
LONG nValueBufferSize = nERRORLOG_SIZE_MAX;
LONG status = ERROR_SUCCESS;
HINSTANCE hDLL; /* Handle to DLL */
LPFNDLLFUNC lpfnDllFunc; /* function pointer */
hDLL = LoadLibrary("TOUCHERR.DLL");
if (hDLL != NULL)
{
lpfnDllFunc = (LPFNDLLFUNC) GetProcAddress(hDLL,"TouchGetErrorLog");
if (!lpfnDllFunc)
{
/* handle error */
status = ERROR;
}
else
{
/* call the function */
status = lpfnDllFunc1(szValueBuffer,&nValueBufferSize);
/* Buffer now contains error message if any */
}
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
}
return status;
}
