Chapter 4 Driver Software Functions
The buttons on such “PenMount Control Panel” have the following functions:
Draw

operation.
Right Button Icon
Enable right button function. The icon can show on
Desktop or in the notification area.

Enable/configure Gesture AP to support PenMount
gestures recognition.

4.1. Standard Calibration
Standard Calibration function lets you match the touchscreen to your display so that the
point you touch is accurately tracked on screen. Standard Calibration only requires four
points for calibration and one point for confirmation. Under normal circumstance
Standard Calibration is all you need to perform an accurate calibration.
4.2. Advanced Calibration
Advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by using more
involved engineering calculations. Use this function only if you have tried the Standard
Calibration and there is still a discrepancy in the way the touchscreen maps to the
display. You can choose 9, 16 or 25 points to calibrate, though we suggest that you first
try 9 points, if it is still not tracking well then try 16 or 25 points. The more points you use
for calibration, the greater the accuracy. Errors in calibration may occur due to viewing
angle, or individual skill, and there may be little difference in using 16 or 25 points. Note
that a stylus is recommended for the most accurate results.
4.3. Multiple Monitors
Multiple Monitors supports two to six touchscreen displays for one system. PenMount
drivers for Windows 2000, XP 32/64bit, and 2003 support Multiple Monitors. This
function supports from two to six touchscreen displays for one system. Each monitor
requires its own PenMount touchscreen control board, either installed inside the display
or in a central unit. The PenMount control boards must be connected to the computer
COM ports via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as for a
single monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:
Windows Extend Monitor Function
Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
nVidia nView Function
NOTE: The Multiple Monitors function is for the use with multiple displays only. Do
not use this function if you have only one touchscreen display. Please note
once you turn on this function the Rotating function is disabled.
