Notes!
- Touch panel driver software is required to use the touch panel.
Purchase optional driver software [IPC-SLIB-01 for windows]
or download one from the CONTEC's web site
(http://www.contec.co.jp/download/).
- The USB touch panel driver software requires V1.20 or later of
IPC-SLIB-01.
- The USB connection can only be used on Windows XP, 2000, or
98SE. Connect via the RS-232C interface if using a different
OS.
- Use either USB or RS-232C for connecting the touch panel.
The touch panel cannot be connected via both interfaces at the
same time.
- When using the USB connection, the screen image may
disappear momentarily when the USB cable is connected or
disconnected and when the computer power is turned ON or
OFF.
- When using the USB connection via a hub, the unit may not
operate correctly in some cases depending on the other USB
devices connected to the hub. Please check the operation
before using in practice.
