CHAPTER 4
CONFIGURING THE SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS NT, WINDOWS 98, AND WINDOWS 95
About the software
The Near Field Imaging touch screen systems performance is optimized after you initialize and align it (see Chapter 3). To further adjust the touch screen system after setting it up, use the Configuration Utilities dialog box described in this chapter. This software customizes the touch screens display characteristics, changes the communication parameters of the NFI controller, and configures the TouchSurround. To start the software, do one of the following:
n n
Starting the software
Select the Windows Start button, point to Programs, Touch Screen Utilities, and then select Configuration. In the Dynapro NFI Setup and Diagnostic Utility dialog box, select Configuration.
17
Using the software

Align the touch screen before using it. See Chapter 3. Customize touch responses. Configure the TouchSurround. See Chapter 7. Define TouchSurround buttons. See Chapter 7. Change controller communication parameters or sensitivity.
For Windows NT, all changes to configurable parameters are global. Changing them in one account causes them to be changed in all accounts. However, double touch speed is stored on a per-user basis.
Customizing touch responses
Use the Display Area Configuration dialog box to adjust the touch responses of the touch screen. This step is necessary only if you want to change the default settings for the touch screen. 1. In the Configuration Utilities dialog box, select Display.
Select the Test Box after adjusting the Double Touch Speed or Timed Double Touch sliders. The Test Box changes color when you successfully touch it.
2. Configure the options below. 3. After youve configured the settings, select OK to save them or touch Cancel to discard the changes and revert to the previous settings.
18
CHAPTER 4
Configuring the software for Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95
Double Touch Speed and Timed Double Touch

The NFI touch screen can detect a double touch, which is the same as double-clicking the mouse. To generate two separate touches, touch the screen twice slowly. To use the double touch feature do one of the following:
n
Touch the touch screen twice quickly as if you were double-clicking the mouse. This is the default option. Use the Double Touch Speed slider to increase or decrease the time the touch screen allows between touches. If you increase the speed too much, it may become difficult to generate a double touch; the touches will instead be recognized as two separate touches. If you decrease the speed too much, what you intend to be two separate touches might instead be recognized as a double touch.
Touch the touch screen and hold it. To use this option, adjust the Timed Double Touch slider. Use the Timed Double Touch slider to increase or decrease the time the touch screen waits before acknowledging a double touch. If you increase the slider to Long, it takes about two seconds to generate a double touch. If you decrease the slider to just off None, it takes about 0.2 seconds. A timed double touch is generated on the initial touch only, not after dragging.
Beep on Touch
Select this option to have the computer beep on each first touch.
Drag and Drop

Check this box if you want the pointer to follow your finger around the screen until you release it. This allows you to select an object on the screen, drag it across the screen to a new location, and then drop it in its new position by releasing the touch. Important For optimal performance, do not choose drag and drop unless your application requires it.
CHAPTER 4
19
Changing the controller communications parameters
Use the Interface Configuration Options dialog box to change the communications parameters needed to communicate with the NFI touch screen controller. This step is necessary only if you want to change the communication settings you selected during installation. 1. In the Configuration Utilities dialog box, select Interface.
Change the sensitivity of the touch screen.
2. Configure the options below. 3. After youve configured the settings, select OK to save them or select Cancel to discard the changes and revert to the previous settings.
COM Port
Sets the serial communication port. Selecting a port automatically fills the Interrupt and Address boxes with the default values for the port. To use custom combinations, select the Interrupt and Address individually.
Interrupt
Sets the interrupt request number used by the NFI touch screen controller to interrupt the operating system. If you are using a standard COM port, you should need to use only the default values in the Interrupt box.
Address
Sets the I/O base address used by the touch screen controller. If you are using a standard COM port, you should need to use only the default values in the Address box.
20
CHAPTER 4
Sensitivity
Use the Sensitivity Configuration dialog box to change the touch sensitivity of the NFI touch screen. This step is necessary only if you want to change the default sensitivity settings of the touch screen to allow for the way youre touching the screen (finger, gloves, alignment tool), the mounting of the touch screen, and the surrounding environment. Use the Sensitivity slider to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the touch screen. If you increase the sensitivity to High, the touch screen is very sensitive and touches may be detected before the finger actually touches the screen. This setting is useful when wearing heavy or thick gloves. If you decrease the sensitivity to Low, the touch screen is not as responsive but its also less likely to detect false touches. This setting is useful when using an alignment tool or a finger without gloves. To adjust the Sensitivity slider: 1. In the Interface Configuration Options dialog box, select Sensitivity. 2. In the Sensitivity Configuration dialog box, adjust the slider to the desired setting. See Table A.
After you adjust the Sensitivity slider, select the Test button.
3. Select Test to confirm the settings for the Sensitivity slider. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
CHAPTER 4

5. After youve configured the setting, select OK to save it or select Cancel to discard the change and revert to the previous setting.
Table A: Recommended sensitivity settings Method of touching the screen Bare finger/latex glove Alignment tool Cloth glove Leather glove Rubber glove Recommended setting 1 or higher 2 or higher 3 or higher 3 or higher 4 or higher
Using right-mouse button support
You can open the same menu that would appear if you clicked an object with the right-mouse button. To open an objects menu: 1. Touch an object to select it. Leave your finger there. 2. Using another finger, touch the screen briefly diagonally opposite the first touch, to open the right-mouse menu.
While holding your index finger on the screen, use your middle finger to touch the screen diagonally opposite the first touch. The second touch wont register if it is in the same horizontal or vertical plane as the first touch.
22
CHAPTER 4
Windows NT 4.0
The Dynapro touch screen driver supports concurrent mouse and touch screen operation. This allows you to use both a mouse and the touch screen. To use a mouse and touch screen at the same time, install the mouse driver and then the touch screen driver. Windows NT leaves the previous mouse driver active when the new one is installed. The next time you start Windows NT, both touch screen and mouse should operate.
Disabling the mouse driver

When you install the mouse driver, it will always be active, even if you install a different type of mouse driver later. If you unplug the mouse from your computer and restart Windows NT, the mouse driver will fail to load, resulting in an error message. To disable the mouse driver: 1. Open the Device dialog box in the Control Panel. 2. Highlight the entry for the mouse driver. 3. Choose Startup to change its startup state to disabled.
Windows 98 and Windows 95

The Dynapro touch screen driver supports concurrent mouse and touch screen operation in Windows, windowed MS-DOS sessions, and full-screen MS-DOS sessions. To install a mouse driver: 1. Connect a mouse to your computer. 2. Select the Windows Start button, then Settings, and then Control Panel. 3. Select Add New Hardware. 4. Select Yes, to have the Wizard detect new hardware for you. Do not select No to install a mouse driver manually. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the mouse. Once the mouse has been detected and the appropriate mouse driver installed, the mouse will operate at the same time as the touch screen. If the Wizard does not detect your mouse, you cannot use it at the same time as the touch screen. You must use a mouse that Windows 98 or Windows 95 detects automatically, such as one by Microsoft or Logitech.

This setting is only for the TouchSurround. Use the slider to set the autorepeat rate for buttons on the touch screen. If you set the rate to Fast, holding a touch will produce rapid repeat events. If you set the rate to Slow, the same touch will generate fewer repeat events in the same length of time. Autorepeat affects only events generated by button presses. It does not affect events generated by button releases.
Autorepeat Delay
This setting is only for the TouchSurround. Use the slider to set the time required for a touch to be held before autorepeat mode begins. A Short delay means you dont need to hold a touch very long before autorepeat touches are generated. A Long delay means that you must hold a touch longer to begin generating autorepeat touches.

CHAPTER 6
CONFIGURING THE SOFTWARE FOR MS-DOS
About the software
The Near Field Imaging touch screen systems performance is optimized after you initialize and align it (see Chapter 3). To further adjust the touch screen system after setting it up, use the software utilities described in this chapter. This software customizes the touch screens display characteristics, changes the communication parameters of the NFI controller, and configures the TouchSurround. Before you can use the touch screen, you must use the Dynapro NFI Setup and Diagnostic Utility dialog box to initialize and align the screen. Alignment orients and aligns the touch screen with the video display. For information about alignment, see the MS-DOS section under Aligning the touch screen on page 15. For most applications the default touch screen configuration is appropriate. To change the configuration, use the options in the emouse utility. The emouse utility (emouse.com) allows the touch screens display area to react to finger touches as if they were the movements of a pointer driven by a single-button mouse. This means you can use offthe-shelf programs that require a Microsoft-compatible mouse. To view the options, at the MS-DOS prompt, type EMOUSE /?, and then press Enter. For details about the TouchSurround, see Chapter 9, Configuring the TouchSurround and buttons for MS-DOS.

During installation of the touch screen drivers and utilities, the autoexec.bat file is modified to include the following line: C:\TOUCH\DOS\EMOUSE.COM This line loads the emouse.com program into memory, where it stays resident. Important Do not remove this line from the autoexec.bat file, or you will not be able to use the touch screen with your MS-DOS applications.
If you start applications from the autoexec.bat file, ensure that the emouse.com appears before you start any applications. To configure the TouchSurround or display area for all sessions: 1. Use a text editor (such as edit.exe) to open the autoexec.bat file. 2. Add one or more of the parameters shown in Table B to the emouse.com command. 3. Save the changes. 4. Restart your computer so the changes will take effect.
Example of an autoexec.bat file

EMOUSE /BEEP=OFF /INT=3 /SENS=4 /DEFINE=C:\TOUCH\DOS\MYFILE.DEF Include spaces as shown in this example. In this example, emouse.com:
n n n n
turns off touch event beeps ( /BEEP=OFF) sets the touch event interval to 3 ( /INT=3) sets the sensitivity of the touch screen to 4 ( /SENS=4) uses button definitions from C:\TOUCH\DOS\MYFILE.DEF ( /DEFINE=C:\TOUCH\DOS\MYFILE.DEF)

CHAPTER 6
Configuring the software for MS-DOS
To change the TouchSurround or display area settings for the current MS-DOS session only: 1. At the MS-DOS prompt, type EMOUSE <options> where <options> is one or more of the configuration options shown in Table B. 2. Press Enter In Table B, characters in bold italics are the minimum entry for each option. You can use the whole word or any abbreviation that includes the minimum entry.
Table B: TouchSurround and display area configuration options Option /AUTOREPEAT={OFF|ON} Description Enables or disables TouchSurround button autorepeat. When autorepeat is enabled, the button will activate the first time you touch it and its press action will repeat for as long as you hold your finger on the button. When autorepeat is disabled, the buttons press action activates once only, every time you touch the button. The default is /AUTOREPEAT=ON. /BASE=<I/O base address> Sets the I/O base address for the touch controllers communications port. Enables or disables touch event beeps in the display area and TouchSurround. The default is /BEEP=OFF. /COM1 /COM2 /COM3 /COM4 Sets the touch controllers communications port. If you change the COM port from the default of 1, ensure you change the COM port setting in the Dynapro NFI Setup and Diagnostic Utility. See the Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS section under Initializing the touch screen on page 11. Reads TouchSurround button definitions from the specified file. Enables or disables drag movement (drag-anddrop) in the display area of the touch screen. When drag is enabled, the cursor follows your finger as you move it around the touch screen. When drag is disabled, the cursor remains where you first touched the screen. The default is /DRAG=ON.
/BEEP={OFF|ON}
/DEFINE={filename}
/DRAG={OFF|ON}
CHAPTER 6
31
Table B: TouchSurround and display area configuration options (Continued) Option /HOLDOFF=<duration> Description Sets the period of time required for a touch to be held before it begins autorepeating. A Short duration means that you dont need to hold a touch very long before autorepeat touches are generated. A Long duration means that you must hold a touch longer to begin generating autorepeat touches. The range is 0 to 10. A value of 0 results in a continuous stream of touch events from the moment you first touch the screen, while a value of 10 results in a delay of approximately one second between the first and subsequent touch events. The default is /HOLDOFF=5. /INTERVAL=<interval> Sets the autorepeat intervalthat is, how quickly the autorepeat feature repeats the touch. If you set the rate to 10, holding a touch will produce rapid repeat events. If you set the rate to 0, the same touch will generate fewer repeat events in the same length of time. The range is 0 to 10. The default is /INTERVAL=5. /IRQ=<IRQ number> Sets the interrupt request line for the touch controllers communications port. Use the Sensitivity setting to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the touch screen. If you increase the sensitivity to High, the touch screen is very sensitive and touches may be detected before the finger actually touches the screen. This setting is useful when wearing heavy gloves. If you decrease the sensitivity to Low, the touch screen is not as responsive but its also less likely to detect false touches. This setting is useful when using an alignment tool or a finger without gloves. The default is 3. /TOUCH={OFF|ON} Enables or disables touch event processing for both the display area and the TouchSurround. The default is /TOUCH=ON. Tip: Type EMOUSE /TOUCH=OFF at the command line to disable the touch screen for cleaning. You can also define a button on the TouchSurround to enable or disable the touch screen. For details, see Summary of steps on page 61.
/SENSIVITY={1/2/3/4/5/6}

CHAPTER 6
To change the installation settings, manually enter the IRQ and base settings for the touch screen driver in the autoexec.bat file to match the hardware being used. During installation, a line is added to the autoexec.bat file. Heres an example: \TOUCH\DOS\EMOUSE /COM1 To change the IRQ and base settings, replace /COM1 with: /IRQ = XX /BASE = YYY where XX is the interrupt request number for the COM port and YYY is its I/O base address (in hexadecimal). For reference, the following table lists the default COM settings.
COM settings COM 1 COM 2 COM 3 COM 4 IRQ settings 4 3 4 3 Base settings 3F8 2F8 3E8 2E8
After changing and saving the file, restart the computer. For details about advanced COM port options, see the Readme file.
To use a mouse at the same time as the touch screen, load the mouse driver in autoexec.bat before loading emouse.com: 1. At the command prompt, type EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT where C is the drive letter of the hard disk. 2. Move the line containing the mouse driver before the line containing emouse.com. 3. On the File menu, select Save. Alternatively, press Alt + S. 4. Restart your computer. Be sure to connect the mouse before starting your computer, so the driver can detect the mouse when it loads.

2. Configure the options below. 3. After youve configured the options, select OK to save them or select Cancel to discard the changes and revert to the previous settings.
CHAPTER 7
37
Autorepeat Rate
The autorepeat rate is the rate at which repeat actions are generated when a touch is held. Use the slider to set the autorepeat rate for buttons on the TouchSurround. If you set the rate to Fast, holding a touch produces rapid repeat actions. If you set the rate to Slow, the same touch generates fewer repeat actions in the same length of time. Autorepeat affects only actions generated by button presses. It does not affect actions generated by button releases.
Autorepeat Delay
The autorepeat delay is the amount of time the touch screen waits before generating autorepeat actions. Use the slider to set the time required for a touch to be held before autorepeat mode begins. A Short delay means you dont need to hold a touch very long before autorepeat touches are generated. A Long delay means that you must hold a touch longer to begin generating autorepeat touches.
Beep on Touch
Select this box if you want the computer to beep whenever a TouchSurround button is activated by a touch or release. The beep occurs only on the first touch of the screen. The beep wont repeat if you move your finger around the display area before releasing it.
Adding TouchSurround Buttons
You can define the size, position, activation, and function of the buttons on the TouchSurround, and you can define buttons as function keys, command keys, calculator keys, screen change controls, or whatever other format you require. TouchSurround buttons are inactive while you are defining buttons. They become active when you save the definitions and exit the software. Important To optimize performance of a new TouchSurround button, ensure you position the button at least 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) from the edge of your products bezel. In addition, ensure the size of the button is at least the size of your index fingers fingerprint (about 0.5 square inches).
38
CHAPTER 7
Summary of steps
To add a TouchSurround button definition do the following: 1. Set up a new button definition in the TouchSurround Button Definitions dialog box. 2. Define the new buttons coordinates. 3.

Adding TouchSurround buttons
Using the Surround.exe utility

To define buttons on the TouchSurround, use the Surround.exe utility. You can define the size, position, activation, and function of the buttons on the TouchSurround, and you can define buttons as function keys, command keys, calculator keys, screen change controls, or whatever other format you require. The button definitions are stored in a button definition file. The button definition file for standard TouchSurrounds is called Surround.def. This file is in the C:\TOUCH\DOS directory on your computers hard disk. Custom TouchSurrounds do not have pre-defined button definition files. You must create your own definitions and store them in a file, typically named C:\TOUCH\DOS\SURROUND.DEF. To use a different file name, see Saving the button definition file in this chapter. To open the Surround.exe utility:
n
At the MS-DOS prompt, type SURROUND and then press Enter. The main menu of the Surround utility indicates:

CHAPTER 9
Configuring the TouchSurround and buttons for MS-DOS
The Surround utility deactivates all currently defined buttons while it is operating. Buttons on your TouchSurround will not work while running this utility.
Summary of steps
To add a TouchSurround button definition do the following: 1. Create the new buttons identifier in the Surround utility. 2. Define the new buttons coordinates. 3. Define the new buttons activation. 4. Define the new buttons action.
Creating a TouchSurround button to disable the touch screen for cleaning

For a quick overview of the process for creating buttons on the TouchSurround, here is an example. Cleaning the touch screen without disabling it could cause touch events that alter your process. To prevent this from happening, you could create a button called CLEAN and define its function as TOUCH. You could then press the CLEAN button before cleaning the screen, and press it again after cleaning to enable regular touches.
CHAPTER 9
61
To create a TouchSurround button to disable the touch screen: 1. Open the Surround utility (see Using the Surround.exe utility in this chapter). 2. Type 2 at the main menu. 3. Assign a button identifier (see Creating the button identifier in this chapter). 4. Define the size and location of the button (see Defining the buttons coordinates in this chapter). 5. Define an activation method for the button (see Defining button activation in this chapter). 6. To display the available codes, type 1, and then type the number of the TOUCH command. 7. At the main menu, type 5 to save the button definition. 8. When prompted, enter the name of the button definition file. The default file name is C:\TOUCH\DOS\SURROUND.DEF. 9. Press Enter to use the default file name, or type the full path and file name for your file.
n n
If the button definition file already exists, its previous contents are overwritten by the new definitions. If the file does not exist, it is created, and the button definitions are written to it exactly as displayed by main menu item 1.
Creating the button identifier
The button identifier is a number between 0 and 65534, used by the system to identify each button. To create the button identifier: 1. Open the Surround utility (see Using the Surround.exe utility in this chapter). 2. At the main menu, Type 2. 3. Type the button identifier or leave the field blank, and then press Enter. If you do not enter a value, the system automatically enters a value. If you see the message WARNING: maximum buttons allowed = XX after pressing Enter at Step 3, you have reached the maximum number of buttons the Surround utility is configured to create. For more information about increasing the maximum number of buttons, see Changing the maximum number of TouchSurround buttons in this chapter.
62
CHAPTER 9
Defining the buttons coordinates
To use a new button, you must define its coordinates. The coordinates of a buttons upper left and lower right corners define the buttons size and its position on the TouchSurround. To ensure accuracy, use an alignment tool to define the buttons coordinates. While defining a TouchSurround button, do not rest your hand anywhere on the surface of the touch screen or the bezel because the presence of your hand affects the values passed to the screen. Important To optimize performance of a new TouchSurround button, ensure you position the button at least 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) from the edge of your products bezel. In addition, ensure the size of the button is at least the size of your index fingers fingerprint (about 0.5 square inches).
To define the buttons coordinates: 1. When you see the instructions to enter the buttons coordinates, hold the alignment tool at a 90-degree angle to the screen surface, and touch the TouchSurround where you want to position the upper left corner of the button.
Align the alignment tool with the inside edges of the buttons corner.
Correct Incorrect
CHAPTER 9

2. When prompted, touch where you want to position the buttons lower right corner. The rectangular area between these two spots becomes your button. 3. To cancel the procedure, press Esc on your keyboard.
Defining button activation
After positioning a new button on the TouchSurround, you are prompted to select an activation method for the button. A button can perform (activate) an action either when the button is pressed, or when the button is released. To define button activation, select one of these options:
n n n
To activate an action once when the button is touched, but not when released, type 1 and then press Enter. To activate an action when the button is released, type 2 and then press Enter. To activate an action the first time you touch the button and repeat that action for as long as you hold your finger on the button, type 3 and then press Enter.
Defining button action
Button actions are performed either when the button is pressed or released. A button can either perform a command or inject an ASCII string: n Commands control what operations are performed when a button is activated. See Button commands in this chapter.
n
ASCII strings are injected at the current cursor position when the button is pressed or released. See Strings in this chapter.
A button can be defined only as a Command or String button, not both. To define a button action, select one of these options:
n n n
To display the available codes, type 1, and then type the number of the command you want to select. To define an ASCII string, type 2 followed by the ASCII string. To indicate NO ACTION, type 3.
64
CHAPTER 9
Button commands
Use the Command option to define a command for a button press or release action. The command controls which operations are performed when a button is pressed or released. The button command code is described in Table E.
Table E: Button commands This command TOUCH Does this on the display area Enables/disables the touch screen. When the touch screen is disabled, only this button responds to touches, allowing you to re-enable the screen. This function is useful for cleaning the touch screen. For details, see Summary of steps in this chapter.
Strings
Use the String option to inject an ASCII string at the current cursor position when the button is pressed or released. For example, you can define a button to behave like the Tab key on a computer keyboard when pressed, by injecting the string <tab>. Strings can be any combination of normal ASCII characters, special codes, modified keys, and sticky keys. For example, this string combination:
6+,)7'!KHOOR6+,)78! (17(5!KRZ DUH \RX"
passes the text HELLO! how are you? to the current cursor position when the button is pressed.
n n
ASCII characters represent normal computer keyboard keys, including alpha, numeric, and special characters (see Table F). Special codes represent non-printable keyboard keys, such as Tab (see Table G).
The maximum length of the string is 40 characters on press, and 40 characters on release. The string consists of the first non-whitespace character you type (leading spaces are ignored) and all remaining characters to the end of the line (including embedded whitespace).
CHAPTER 9
65
Normal ASCII characters

Table F lists the normal ASCII characters that are supported.

Special codes
Special codes represent non-printable keyboard keys. A special code is delimited by angle brackets < >, and is translated into the appropriate keyboard character. To put a normal < or > into a string, use double angle brackets like this: << or >>. Table G lists all the special codes that can be included in the button definition strings.
n n n
Codes in the Normal Code column represent a single key on the keyboard. Codes in the Shift Code column represent the same key pressed in combination with the Shift key. Codes in the Control Code and Alt Code columns represent the key pressed in combination with the Ctrl and Alt keys, respectively.
Note: It is not possible to generate key codes for more than one type of combination, such as Ctrl-Alt.

Saving the button definition file
When you have defined all the required buttons, save their definitions in a button definition file. To save button definitions: 1. At the main menu, type 5. 2. When prompted, enter the name of the button definition file. The default file name is C:\TOUCH\DOS\SURROUND.DEF. 3. Press Enter to use the default file name, or type the full path and file name for your file.
n n
If the button definition file already exists, its previous contents are overwritten by the new definitions. If the file does not exist, it is created, and the button definitions are written to it exactly as displayed by main menu item 1.
Loading button definitions from a file
By default, button definitions are read from a file called Surround.def. To load button definitions from another file, specify the file name as a parameter to the emouse.com command in the autoexec.bat file. See the /DEFINE option in Table B on page 31 for more information.
CHAPTER 9
69
Reviewing TouchSurround button definitions
You can display the settings for all the buttons defined on the TouchSurround. To review button definitions: 1. Open the Surround utility (see Using the Surround.exe utility in this chapter). 2. Type 1 to display the button definitions.
Editing a TouchSurround button
You can change the buttons activation method (press, release, or press and autorepeat) and action (command, string, or none). To change a button: 1. Open the Surround utility (see Using the Surround.exe utility in this chapter). 2. If the button you want to change is in the current button definition file, type 3 at the main menu, then skip to Step 4. If the button you want to change is in a different button definition file, type 6 at the main menu, and then go to Step 3. 3. Type the name of the button definition file you want to change, and press Enter. The Surround utility loads the file. For example, if you specify SAMPLE.DEF, and the SAMPLE.DEF file contains 8 buttons, the Surround utility displays this message: Button definitions successfully read in Current button definition file = \sample.def Number of buttons defined = 8 4. When prompted for the buttons identifier, enter the buttons identifier number. If there is more than one button with the same identifier, a list of matching buttons is displayed. Select the button you want to change. 5. Make changes as required.
Deleting a TouchSurround button
Use the Surround utility to delete a button. To delete a button: 1. Open the Surround utility (see Using the Surround.exe utility in this chapter). 2. Type 4 at the main menu. 3. When prompted for the buttons identifier, type the button identifier number, and then press Enter to delete the button. If there is more than one button with the same identifier, a list of matching buttons is displayed. Select the button you want to delete, and then press Enter.
70
CHAPTER 9
Changing the maximum number of TouchSurround buttons
The maximum number of button definitions a file can contain is set in the config.sys file when the touch screen drivers and utilities are installed. By default, a parameter is added to the touch screen driver (ets.exe) to make the maximum number of button definitions 80, as shown in the following line: DEVICE=C:\TOUCH\DOS\ETS.EXE /BUTTONS=80 Note: If this line does not appear in the config.sys file, the maximum number of buttons you can define is 50. To change the maximum number of buttons you can define: 1. Use a text editor to open the config.sys file. 2. Find this line to edit: DEVICE=C:\TOUCH\DOS\ETS.EXE /BUTTONS=80 3. Type a number between 0 and 128. 4. Save the file, exit the text editor, and restart your computer for this change to take effect. Note: The memory required by the touch screen driver is directly proportional to the maximum number of buttons you specify.
Exceeding the maximum number of buttons

If you create more button definitions than the maximum number specified in the config.sys file, a message is displayed when you are defining the button: WARNING: maximum buttons allowed = XX If your file contains more buttons than the maximum number allowed, excess button definitions will be ignored during system startup. To prevent this from happening, increase the maximum number of buttons.

Questions & answers

Question Is it possible to turn off the pointer/ cursor? Answer Yes. To turn off the pointer in Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95, select a blank cursor. See your operating system manual to perform the procedure. If needed, Dynapro can provide a blank cursor file for Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95. In Windows 3.1, see the appropriate Software Development Kit. In MS-DOS, the cursor is off by default. Applications must explicitly turn it on using Int 33h function 1. To turn it off again, use Int 33h function 2. These are standard Microsoft Mouse API capabilities (as described in the Microsoft Mouse Programmers Reference). When I am using Windows NT and try to change the touch screen configuration I get the error "Cant write configuration data" after I select "OK." What should I do? The touch screen configuration changes must be written to the registry. Run the Programs/ Administrative Tools/ User Manager and check your user rights. Ensure that you are logged in as the Administrator or belong to the Administrator group. Only Administrators have rights to access the registry. Check your connections to the controller and touch screen. Check that the settings in the touch screen software are the same as the hardware connections (for example, COM 1). Disconnect and then re-connect the power to the controller. If youre still experiencing difficulties, call Dynapro for assistance. I am having trouble aligning my touch screen. The software will not accept the confirmation point. What should I do? Ensure that you use an alignment tool. In addition, note the numbers displayed on the alignment points and then call Dynapro for assistance. Your touch screen or controller may have been damaged during shipping or installation.
I cannot get any response from the touch screen.
APPENDIX A
Troubleshooting
75
Question During alignment, the message appears "Display Area exceeds Touch Screen boundary, Please re-align." What should I do?
Answer This may mean that you have not touched the touch screens alignment points accurately. Using an alignment tool, re-align more accurately. If this does not work, re-mount your touch screen or adjust your video display area to be the same size as the touch screen area.
After installing the touch screen drivers in Windows 98 or Windows 95, my touch screen works but my mouse does not function. What should I do?
1. Select Control Panel and choose Add New Hardware. 2. Choose "yes" to have Windows 95 or Windows 98 detect new hardware, when prompted. The software will find the mouse and correctly configure it for concurrent use with your touch screen.
After initializing my touch screen using the Dynapro NFI Setup and Diagnostic Utility, the NFI touch screen system displays an error.
The baseline may be incorrect. When setting the baseline, ensure that nothing touches the touch screen or bezel. Reset power to the controller and try initializing the touch screen again. Some video displays in MS-DOS are sensitive to the video mode that your application uses. 1. Determine the video mode youre using. 2. Run ecal using the /VXX option where XX is the standard video mode between 0 and 16, as described in the Microsoft Mouse Programmers Reference. 3. If you must, use a non-standard video mode. See information below. 4. If youre still experiencing difficulties, call Dynapro for assistance.
I am having trouble aligning the screen to match the display when working in MS-DOS.

BUTTON COMMANDS AND STRINGS FOR THE TOUCHSURROUND
To add TouchSurround buttons, you must define the action when a button is pressed or released. This chapter explains how to add a command or string for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows 3.1
Button commands
To define a button command: 1. Select Command. In Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows 95, select Command in the Define a Button dialog box. In Windows 3.1, select the Command check box in the TouchSurround Area dialog box. 2. Choose a command from the following list.
Table H: Button commands This command NO_COMMAND Does this on the display area No command defined for this button. This function is useful for disabling a button temporarily. For example, when the button doesnt work as intended. TOUCH Enables/disables the touch screen. When the touch screen is disabled, only this button responds to touches, allowing you to re-enable the screen. This function is useful for cleaning the touch screen. Cleaning the touch screen without disabling it could cause touch events that alter your process. To prevent this from happening, you could create a button called CLEAN and define its function as TOUCH. When cleaning the touch screen, you could then press the CLEAN button before cleaning the screen, and press it again after cleaning to enable regular touches.
77
Strings
Use the String option to insert an ASCII string at the current cursor position when the button is activated. For example, you can define a button to behave like the Tab key on a computer keyboard by inserting the string <tab>. Strings can be any combination of normal ASCII characters, special codes, modified keys, and sticky keys.
n n n n
ASCII characters represent keyboard keys, including alpha, numeric, and special characters (see Table I). Special codes represent non-printable keyboard keys, such as Tab (see Table J). Modified keys are created by combining any ASCII character or special code with a Shift, Alt, or Ctrl key modifier. Sticky keys are keys defined as the Shift, Ctrl, or Alt modifier. This applies the modifier to the next character inserted.
An ASCII string can be up to 40 characters. The string consists of the first non-white-space character you type (leading spaces are ignored) and all remaining characters to the end of the line (including embedded white space). To define a string: 1. Select String. In Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows 95, select String in the Define a Button dialog box. In Windows 3.1, select the String check box in the TouchSurround Area dialog box. 2. Choose a string from the following lists.

Special codes
Special codes represent non-printable keyboard keys. A special code is delimited by angle brackets < >, and is translated into the appropriate keyboard character. To put a normal < or > into a string, use double angle brackets like this: << or >>. Table J lists all the special codes that can be included in the button definition strings.
n
Keys preceded by the # character represent number pad keys. Use the number pad keys for arithmetical functions as wellmultiply (*), divide (/), subtract (-) and add (+). Some codes, such as, SHIFTU, SHIFTD, CTRLU, CTRLD, ALTU and ALTD have no actual keyboard equivalents. They represent Shift key Up, Shift key Down, Control key Up, Control key Down, Alt key Up, and Alt key Down.
APPENDIX B
79
The SHIFTLOCK, ALTLOCK, AND CTRLLOCK codes represent toggle functions on each of the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys. For example, one insertion of SHIFTLOCK is equivalent to Shift key Down, while the next insertion is equivalent to Shift key Up. CAPSLOCK applies to alphabetical keys only. SHIFTLOCK applies to all keys. Important Use SHIFTLOCK, ALTLOCK, and CTRLLOCK carefully. The operating system may react differently to a mouse click plus these keys than it would to a mouse click alone.

Modified key combinations

Create Shift, Alt, or Ctrl key combinations by combining any ASCII character or special code with a Shift, Alt, or Ctrl modifier. The modifier is added by prefacing the selected key with one of the following prefixes, and delimiting the result with < >:
n n n n
S- (for Shift) C- (for Ctrl) A- (for Alt) any combination of these (up to a maximum of three)
Example:
This code <C-X> <A-Tab> <C-A-DEL> Generates this key combination Ctrl+X Alt+Tab Ctrl+Alt+Delete
The following procedures show a practical use for modified key combinations for Windows 98 or Windows 95. Key combinations can be used to define TouchSurround buttons that can start Windows applications. First, create a shortcut to your application, then define a button on the TouchSurround to open or start the application.
84
APPENDIX B
To create a shortcut to your application: 1. Select an application icon and drag it to the desktop. 2. Right mouse click on the icon to display options for defining properties. 3. Select the Shortcut tab. 4. Tab to, or click the Shortcut key text box. 5. Type a shortcut key sequence, for example CTRL-ALT-A. 6. Select OK. Pressing this key combination on the keyboard opens or starts the application pointed to by the shortcut. To define a TouchSurround button to launch the application: 1. Open the Configuration Utilities dialog box. 2. Select Buttons. 3. Do one of the following:
n n
Select Append, then define the button co-ordinates. Select a currently defined button, and then press Edit.
4. Choose String as the button press action. 5. Enter the string to match what was previously entered as the shortcut key sequence, example <C-A-A>, meaning CTRL-ALT-A. 6. Select OK. 7. Select Exit.
Sticky keys
You can also define a button to be the Shift, Ctrl, or Alt modifier that applies to the inserted character that follows the modifier. A button defined to insert this special code is called a sticky key. Inserting such a code has no effect in itself, but the next character inserted after this one has the modifier applied to it. For example, touching a button defined as <A-> and then touching one defined as <F4> is equivalent to typing Alt+F4. Generally, you need sticky key codes only if your TouchSurround has buttons called Shift, Ctrl, and Alt, in which case they should be defined as <S->, <C->, and <A->. Activating a button defined as <S-> and then activating one defined to insert the ASCII character string h-e-l-l-o results in the key sequence H-e-l-l-o. That is, the sticky key is applied only to the first character in the ASCII character string.
