TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 6
TOUCH PANEL
The touch panel in TP6000 series uses either a PS2 interface or an RS232
interfaced. When its driver is properly installed, this touch panel works exactly like a
standard mouse. However, if the system is running under safe mode due to a previous
improper shutdown or for any other reason, most drivers are disabled in this mode and
the touch panel calibration may not coincide with the mouse pointer. It is
recommended that a standard PS2 mouse or keyboard be used in this mode.
All the below mentioned mouse emulation functions can be manipulated
through relevant software. The system can give a beep when the touch panel is
touched and can respond as if the left button of a PS2 mouse is clicked at the point
touched. If the point touched is dragged across the screen surface, it can respond as
though it is using the mouse drag and drop feature. If the point is touched, released
and touched within a short time interval, it will simulate double-clicking the mouse.
For the standard PS2 interface touch panel controller, touching the screen for a while
followed by a slight move of the touch without leaving the screen surface will result
in a right button mouse click. For the RS232 interface touch panel controller, touching
any point on the screen surface after touching the right-click sticky button results as a
click on the right button of the mouse at that point. However, the right button function
is not applicable under the WIN NT environment.
TOUCH TERMINAL MANAGER
The touch panel control parameters are already well calibrated in the factory
prior to delivery. In principal, the touch panel requires no further calibration once
properly set. However, a program named “Posiflex Touch Terminal Manager” is
installed in the preloaded Windows system for the user to maneuver versatile features
of the touch terminal with a PS2 interface touch panel controller. This program can
also be obtained by download from the POSIFLEX web site. This program
application provides control over the MSR, the touch panel and the power control of
the Posiflex Touch Terminal. For an RS232 interface touch panel, the touch panel
portion of the following section should be disregarded. Please refer to the paragraph
titled “RS232 TOUCH MONITOR MOUSE” instead.
