Page 34: Configuring The Tpi For Pass-Through Control
System Installation NOTE: If you experience problems introducing new devices, install the drivers on the remote PC according to manufacturer suggestions with the device connected directly to the remote PC. Conf iguring the TPI for Pass-Through Control You can control a PC by routing the mouse control through the TPI and displaying the results on a non-touch enabled monitor. In this scenario, the TPI is virtually non-existent as it is akin to connecting the monitor and mouse directly to the rear of the computer, thus the term "pass-through control". -
Page 35: Enabling Video Pass-Through Control On A Touch Monitor
System Installation Enabling Video Pass-Through Control on a Touch Monitor To enable a touch response on a panel page being routed through a computer, you must establish pass-thru control. Pass-thru control allows the TPI to act as a control bridge between a PC and a touch monitor. The touch monitor control option is available only if a Video Fill has been applied to the panel page (in the TPDesign4 (Touch Panel Design software application). - Page 36 System Installation Toggling this coded panel button can enable/disable the pass-thru feature. NOTE: You must set the TPI to match the resolution of the touch monitor’s video output resolution, then select a touch driver. The video should automatically f ill-in the available screen area on the touch monitor. If the image generated from the TPI is slightly "off", adjust the image using the monitor’s on-board video adjustment buttons.
