The driver diskette includes DOS drivers


B. HOW TO INSTALL PENMOUNT DOS  DRIVERS TO YOUR COMPUTER

1. INSTALL PENMOUNT DOS DRIVER

-- BEFORE INSTALLATION

Please select on COM port (com1, com2, com3 or com4) to connect PenMount
Touch Screen product to your computer by RS-232 cable.  The PenMount touch
screen RS-232 connector is 9-pin D-sub connector.

The PenMount DOS driver diskette contains the following files:

INSTALL.EXE -- General purpose installation utility
README.TXT  -- The file for installing the drivers
_INST.EXE
ICECREAM.EXE-- The demonstration program, icecream order
ICECREAM.KEY
PMDETECT.EXE-- to identify the communication port and IRQ
               number for PenMount Touch Screen. The detecting
               data will be written to PMOUSE.CFG file
PMOUSE.CFG
PMOUSE.EXE
PMSET.EXE   -- Establish com port address and IRQ manually
               C:\PENMOUMT\>PMSET /N BASEXXX IRQYY 19200 -OPMOUSE.CFG
               
SWITCH.COM
PM.BAT      -- to check, change or test the PenMount Touch Screen
PMINIT.BAT  -- to start up PenMount driver in system
CALIBRAT.BAT-- for calibration
SVGA256.BGI
SVGA16.BGI
EGAVGA.BGI
PMGET.EXE   -- getting touch's data
Establish com port address and IRQ manually



Step 1  Using 'INSTALL.EXE' utility to install PenMount software driver
        To install PenMount software under DOS mode.  Insert the driver
        diskette to floppy disc driver and type 'INSTALL' .  e.g. A:\INSTALL
        You will see the screen show "Salt International Corp. PenMount
        Install Utilities, To install the PenMount Package into your hard
        disk". Press 'ENTER' key to allow PenMount install the drivers to
        drive C or use keyboard to key-in the hard disc drive which you plan
        to install the drivers.

        After installing the PenMount drivers to system, the driver will ask
        "Do you want to modify your Autoexec.bat to initialize PenMount? (Y/N)
        Suggest you choose 'YES' for generating the initialization instruction
        in AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Follow the message to complete the installation.

Step 2  Identify the communication port and IRQ number

        If you are the first time to install the driver, or change PenMount
        Touch Screen's com port, please use PMDETECT to check the com port no
        and IRQ number.  PMDETECT will save the correct data to PMOUSE.CFG
        file for further use.
        e.g. C:\PENMOUNT\PMDETECT
        You will see the driver is detecting your communication port and
        IRQ number from COM1 IRQ4, COM2 IRQ3, COM3 IRQ4, ......  COM4 IRQ15.
        until PenMount find the com port and IRQ number automatically.
        The screen will show :

        PenMount is initialized successfully!!!
        Create file 'pmouse.cfg'. Success.
        PenMount internal settings:
        Comm. Port: COM<n> IRQ<n>
        .........
        .........
        ........

        The data will be saved until you change the communication port or IRQ
        number.

        If you do not like this "PMDETECT" to detect any IRQ number, the commands
        is also to instruct, for example, if you do not need to detect IRQ5 of
        the system, the command is instructed as below:
        e.g. C:\PENMOUNT\PMDETECT -N5

        For example, if you do not need to detect IRQ5 and IRQ9 of the system,
        the command is instructed as C:\PENMOUNT\PMDETECT -N5 -N9

Step 3  Do Calibration

        To adjust the touch screen mapping properly to display screen.
        Type Calibrate under Utility directory
        e.g.  C:\PENMOUNT\PM
        choose '1' DO CALIBRATION (adjust screen mapping)

        The display will ask you to select video mode number, select by
        keyboard your display mode to start the calibration.
        Touch the upper-center point, then touch the right-center point,
        bottom-center point and left-center point.  After doing calibration,
        the data got will be showed in the screen, press any key to continue
        the progress.

        After doing the calibration, suggest you test the touch screen and
        display mapped results by choose '4' DRAWING TEST under PM.BAT

Step 4  Initializing the PenMount driver

        If you do not put the initialization command in AUTOEXEC.BAT, do the
        initializing of PenMount driver before you use the PenMount Touch
        Screen.    e.g. C:\PENMOUNT\PMINIT

        The display will show the message twice, the initialization message
        is  showed as below:

        PMSET V1.00  Copyright (c) SALT International Corp.

        Test: COM<n>  IRQ<n> .....    (<n> is the number after PMDETECT done)
        Open configuration file 'C:\PENMOUNT\PMOUSE.CFG' .  Success.
        Initialize PenMount Device Data ................ OK!
        PenMount communication settings: COM<N> IRQ<n> Baud Rate: <xxxx>

        additional:
        If you need hide cursor function, you can modify 'PMINIT.BAT'
        last command line. It's instructed as below:

        e.g.   pmouse -i << C:\penmount\pmouse.cfg /H /C
                                                   ^^^^^


Step 5 Demonstration

        To demostration program  is named 'ICECREAM.EXE' which is in
        the 'PENMOUNT' directory.


Now, the PenMount DOS driver is installed well, followings are the functions
of 'PENMOUNT'



a. Change communication baud rate
   To change the baud rate from 1200  to high baud, use PMDETECT to check
   the baud rate of your controller first and then follows up below to change
   baud rate.
   C:\PENMOUNT\PM
   Choose '3' CHANGE DETAIL SETTINGS (for the controller)
   The display will show '<V1.00> PenMount Setting' message, choose '1'
   Communication setting, select '3' Baud Rate and press 'ENTER', use
   up or down arrow key to move to the baud rate place and press 'ENTER'.

b. Show Current Setting
   The current setting data could be found from PM.BAT file.
   C:\PENMOUNT\PM
   Choose '2' SHOW CURRENT SETTINGS

c. Other setting
   Sampling Rate changed could be from 'Other settings' under  '(3) CHANGE
   DETAIL SETTINGS (from the controller) of PM.BAT file.  The suggest number
   for sampling rate is 7 or 6.

   Up-down Threshold changed could be from 'Other settings' of PM.BAT
   Suggest figure is 7.

d. Getting Touch's data
   By using PMGET.EXE, you could get the touch's data, for example, if touch
   is in COM1 and baud rate is 19200, typing
   C:\PENMOUNT\PMGET COM1 19200
   Touching the screen and see the getting data.
