Included on the accompanying disk is MonitorMouse for Windows NT, a 32-bit
touchscreen driver designed for Microsoft Windows NT. MonitorMouse for
Windows NT allows you to run all Windows applications without modification,
using an Elo touchscreen.
MonitorMouse for Windows NT and an Elo touchscreen are recommended for all
Windows NT applications that require an intuitive user interface, such as a public
kiosk application. Touchscreens are also popular in point-of-sale, process control,
instrumentation, multimedia, gaming, education, simulation, and training
applications. Elo touchscreens may be used in a harsh environment not
appropriate for a mouse or keyboard.
With MonitorMouse for Windows NT, the touchscreen may be used alone, or in
conjunction with any mouse. Various mouse button emulation modes provide
options on how button clicks are simulated. You can choose the best mode for
your application, and change between modes at any time.
Applications using only the left button are the easiest to use with the touchscreen.
Touchscreen Controller Compatibility
Elo manufactures two types of touchscreen technologies. The IntelliTouch
surface wave technology provides excellent clarity and durability. The

resistive technology features pressure-activated screens with rapid
response and high resolution. PC-Bus and serial touchscreen controllers are
available.
MonitorMouse for Windows NT will work with all current Elo touchscreen
controllers. A complete list is included in the README.TXT file on the
accompanying disk.
Software Compatibility
MonitorMouse for Windows NT is compatible with Windows NT and all
Windows applications.
