This section includes reference material that can be used to take advantage of the
UPX-2's capabilities.

Touch-the-PC

The UPX-2 is compatible with the Crestron serial mouse driver, which enables
Touch-the-PC capabilities. Touch-the-PC allows the end user to control the cursor
and functions of an external PC, by touching a video or RGB window that has been
programmed for "touch output". Using a control system as the interface between the
external PC and the UPX-2, the PC can be connected to the UPX-2 via the UPX-2's
connection (Ethernet or Cresnet) to a control system.
A null modem RS-232 cable is required to connect the 2-Series control system with a
PC that has a COM port dedicated to Touch-the-PC. A USB port cannot be used as
the computer COM port.
Touch-the-PC requires the following files:
•
New Touch-the-PC driver program version 03.08.34P
•
Vision Tools Pro-e 3.3 or later
•
UPX-2 firmware version 1.09.0.02.zip or higher
•
SIMPL Windows version 2.06.20 or later with library update file 345 or
later. Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1.
•
Crestron Database 17.4.4 or later
1. Install VT Pro-e version 3.3 and Crestron Database 17.4.4.
2. Load version 1.09.0.02.zip or higher firmware into the UPX-2.
3. Unzip the Touch.zip file. This file contains the UPDD file which is to be
installed on the PC that will be running Touch-the-PC.
4. Run the setup program to install the UPDD (Universal Pointer Device
Driver) into the computer to be used. If a mouse driver is already installed,
uninstall it before installing this new mouse driver. The only option that
should be changed in the setup program is the COM port that will be used if
COM port 1 is not to be used. Accept all other defaults.
5. Create an RGB window in VT Pro-e and configure for Touch-the-PC by
opening the "RGB Video Properties" window. Select the Design tab and
click the box to enable the Touch/Pad Area. Save and compile the project.
