Sense Input Connections
The Sense Trigger Inputs of the S86A are primarily for use with VIA! Touch Panels and Olé Touchpads. An
ELAN™SENSE Sensor can be connected that will cause VIA! Touch Panels and Olé Touchpads to execute IR or
serial commands. Use VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software to program Trigger Input functionality. Wiring the
Sense Inputs consists of punching down Voltage (V), Sense (S), and Ground (G) as shown in Figure 3-12.
