FPD Touch Monitors Installation Guide
System Requirements
The Profile and ChassisTouch flat-panel touch monitors require a
personal computer (PC). These touch monitors are not supported on
Macintosh computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
•
Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication
(COM) port. You connect the touchscreen to this port.
•
Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to
the COM port that the touchscreen will use. The touchscreen
cannot share an IRQ with another device.
•
If the only serial port available on your PC has 25 pins, you will
need a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
•
Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed
for the monitor. If you need to install a video card or a video
driver, refer to your computer documentation for instructions.
•
The video card must be compatible with the display timings listed
in Table 2.
When choosing your work space, select a sturdy, level surface. Also,
make sure you can easily access the back of the touch monitor and the
computer. Easy access helps ensure a smooth setup of the touch
monitor.
Note:
Before setting up your touch monitor, refer to the “Installation
Warnings and Safety Precautions” section at the beginning of this
document.
