Mounting the Sensor
There are several methods for mounting the sensor depending on your application. If you
need instructions or recommendations from 3M Touch Systems on how to incorporate a
sensor into your design, refer to the 3M
(TSD-48194). All 3M Touch Systems documentation is available from the corporate
website at www.3m.com/touch.
Windows® Compatibility
3M Multi-Touch PCT technology works seamlessly with the Windows® 7 and later
operating systems. The 3M Multi-Touch system supports USB HID for direct
communication. The 3M Multi-Touch PCT system leverages all the multi-touch
functionality that is native to the Windows® operating system. Plug the display in to a
computer running a Windows® operating system and enter the world of true multi-touch
functionality.
All Other Platforms
3M Multi-Touch PCT technology also works seamlessly with the Linux® operating
system, kernel 3.5 or later.
When using any other operating system, you may need additional drivers and 3M
provides the 3M Microtouch
operating systems. Refer to our website www.3m.com/touch – for options.
This guide contains all the communication protocols necessary to talk directly with the
system electronics. This enables software developers using other operating systems such
as Microsoft® Windows® or Linux® to write their own drivers and optimize their
applications.
Multi-Touch Application Support
Remember not all applications are multi-touch ready – multi-touch behavior is a function
of your application. Check with your application vendor to determine if your software has
multi-touch capability.
