Pointer Interface (Mouse, Trackball, or Touchscreen)
The VGB board supports a standard Microsoft serial mouse-protocol compatible
pointer. The pointer input uses a standard 9-pin D-sub connector. The pointer
interface is serial, not parallel. Pin assignments for the Pointer connector are
shown in Table 6-5. This port can alternatively be used for a touchscreen using
ELO TouchSystems protocol. When installing a touchscreen, disconnect the
trackball or mouse. Only one pointing device is usable at a time. This port
operates at 1200bps. See “Connections and Indicators” on page 133 for
configuration and compatibility.
