3M Touch Systems, Inc. MT 7 Software for Windows 2000/XP Version 7.11.2, March 22, 2006 Copyright 1991-2006 3M. All rights reserved. --------------------------------- 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) 2000 and XP 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 2000 or XP system. --------------------------------- FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS --------------------------------- * This service release improves the processing of serial commands while the touch screen is being touched. * This service release improves the searching of the serial ports for touch controllers that do not support serial plug-and-play. * This service release corrects a problem with some systems when updating the MT 7 software that could hang the system either immediately or during shutdown. --------------------------------- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS --------------------------------- Hardware Prerequisites * MT 7 runs on most computers that run Windows 2000 and Windows XP. * One or more of the following MicroTouch touch screen controllers: - MicroTouch EX II serial and USB controllers - MicroTouch SC400, SC500, and SC800 serial and USB controllers - MicroTouch DST serial and USB controllers * Depending on the touch screen, either a serial (COM) port or a USB port is required. Software Prerequisites * MT 7 requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP. --------------------------------- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------------- NOTE: If you have an older version of touch screen software, you must uninstall it. Reboot the system after uninstalling the software. * 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. You may choose to customize your installation. This allows you to select which components to install. The following components are available. - The Touch Screen Driver is mandatory to operate the touch screen. - The Calibration Tool is recommended. - The Touch Monitor Tool is required for features such as the right-click tool, touch sounds through the speaker, and the virtual mouse. - Various controller support is available. By default, all controller support is installed. If you do not want support for a controller installed, unselect that component. * During installation, you will get messages about finding new hardware. This is the MT 7 software registering your serial ports and recognizing any USB touch controllers. --------------------------------- SILENT INSTALLATION --------------------------------- Two batch files are available for silent installation. The first one, TwSilentCreate.bat, records the installation session and creates a file, TwSilent.txt. The second file, TwSilentRun.bat, executes the silent installation using the responses recorded in TwSilent.txt. You may execute the batch files from a command line or you may double-click them from a window. The installation tool uses a self-contained Java Virtual Machine. However, it is possible that Java installed on the recording or target system may cause the batch files not to run as written. Alternative commands are given in each batch file. You may need to edit these batch files to enable the alternative command lines to perform the recording and silent installation for your system. Since the recording process creates a file, the MT 7 distribution must be on a hard drive and not on a CD-ROM. Once the file is created, you can make a CD-ROM, or equivalent media, with the distribution files and the TwSilent.txt file. Your use of such a CD-ROM is subject to the license agreement of this software. This feature does not give you the right to distribute this software if that right is not already granted to you by the license agreement. ------------------------------------ CONFLICT WITH THE WINDOWS HID DRIVER ------------------------------------ The SC and DST series of USB controllers are HID-compliant devices that simulate mice. Because of this, you do not need MT 7 for basic point-and-click operations. However, if you want support for some advanced features, such as sound on touch, you need to install MT 7. When you attach your SC or DST USB controller to the system, Windows assigns its HID driver to your touch screen. You must perform additional steps to enable the MT 7 driver. Please review the "MicroTouch(tm) MT 7 User Guide" for details. --------------------------------- MULTIPLE MONITOR SUPPORT --------------------------------- This version of the control panel does not support multiple monitors. The core driver and calibration tool can support such systems. Contact your Field Application Engineer or Technical Support representative at 3M Touch Systems, Inc., for additional information. ------------------------------------------- UNINSTALL MT 7, VERSION 7.00.0, RECOMMENDED ------------------------------------------- The directory structure of MT 7 changed with version 7.10.0. If you have MT 7, Version 7.00.0, we recommend that you uninstall it. Uninstalling version 7.00.0 will not alter any custom configurations that you have. This note does not apply to version 7.10 or later. --------------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES --------------------------------- * Installer - Issue 52: During installation, there is no indication, such as an hour glass cursor, that the Setup program is working. - Issue 162: The setup tool does not respond to the Cancel button once it starts to copy files. - Issue 221: The setup and uninstall tools may create extraneous DOS windows. These close automatically. - Issue 342: A silent installation does not detect the presence of an old copy of TouchWare and installs MT 7 anyways. Upon rebooting, MT 7 is not operational. - Issue 612: If the reply to the Microsoft dialog about installing an uncertified driver is "Cancel", the installer proceeds even though the driver is not installed. - Issue 614: After installing MT 7 for serial controllers, it is sometimes necessary to reboot the machine to enable touch. * Uninstaller - Issue 174: The uninstall tool may issue an error about being unable to remove a desktop icon, even though there is no such icon. This also leaves a log.txt file. - Issue 182: The uninstall tool fails if any MT 7 programs are open, such as the control panel. - Issue 253: The uninstaller does not remove any auxiliary or user data. - Issue 274: The uninstaller does not remove any configuration data in the registry. * 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. * Miscellaneous - Issue 220: The right-click tool responds only to touches and not to the mouse. - Issue 223: Enabling sound in response to touches causes sound to be produced through the system speaker even though the audio card speakers were specified. - Issue 259: Specifying keystrokes in a touch region may cause the driver to crash. - Issue 524: The control panel does not properly update the double-click area or timer on a multiple monitor system. --------------------------------- REVISION HISTORY --------------------------------- Version 7.11.2, March 22, 2006 * Improvement of the processing of serial commands while the touch screen is being touched. * Improvement of the serial controller search. * Improvement of behavior when updating, addressing a problem that may hang the system until rebooted.
