Chapter 1. Introduction
PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is the most popular touchscreen control board on the market.
PenMount control boards, chipsets, and software support a wide range of configurations,
applications, and operating systems. Designed for easy configuration and superior touchscreen
performance, the PenMount 6000 control board offers both RS-232 and USB interfaces except
6300, which only supports USB interface.
PenMount Touchscreen Control Board is a circuit board that you install between a touchscreen and
a host computer. The control board converts touch input into digital data, and the device driver
converts the data into mouse events used by the operating systems.
The control boards are comprised of an interface board for mounting on a host computer, a
controller chip, other supporting components, and software drivers. The bundled software drivers
offer unique functions and support the most popular hardware platforms and operating systems.
The PenMount control boards are designed not only to be user-friendly, but also to support
engineers. All PenMount control boards provide a diagnostic LED that allows both users and
engineers to check the touchscreen and the control board functions.
