CHAPTER 3
Enabling Your M2256PW Multi-touch Display
Windows™ 7 USB Compatibility
3M multi-touch technology works seamlessly with the Windows™ 7 operating system.
The Multi-touch display supports USB HID for direct communication. The M2256PW
Multi-touch Display leverages all the multi-touch functionality that is native to
Windows™ 7. Plug the display in to a system running Windows™ 7 and you’ll quickly
enter the world of true multi-touch functionality.
The M2256PW Multi-touch Display is compatible with Windows 7 with no additional
software. Refer to Microsoft's Windows 7 documentation for additional information.
All Other Platforms
When using a Windows™ 7 serial connection or for Windows XP, Vista or Linux
operating systems (either USB or serial), 3M provides MicroTouch MT 7 Software for
multi-touch drivers. This guide includes information for writing your own drivers to
interface with the 3M Multi-touch Technology.
For non-Windows 7 operating system users this document provides the communication
protocol necessary to talk directly with the electronics. This enables software developers
using other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows™ Vista or Linux® to write
their own drivers and achieve the same multi-touch results.
Multitouch Application Support
Remember not all applications are multitouch ready -- Multitouch behavior is a function
of YOUR application. Check with your application vendor to determine if your software
has multitouch capability.
