The touchscreen controller's microprocessor analyzes the resulting change in the received signal and determines the touch coordinates. The IntelliTouch touchscreen can sense both touch location and touch pressure. A touchscreen controller is required for both technologies to provide touchscreen drive signals, convert received analog signals into digital coordinates, and transmit coordinates to the PC.

  • Page 39: Untouch Wait Time Flag (-W)

    Chapter 4 - DOS Touchscreen Driver and Calibration Utility Untouch Wait Time Flag (-w) This flag specifies the Untouch Wait Time (also called Wait Time): -w<n> where <n> is the time (in milliseconds) required before the program recognizes an untouch (lifting of the finger). The default Wait Time will vary depending on the controller.

  • Page 40: Extract Flag (-X)

    ELODEV Specifying -p+ is useful only after ELODEV is installed. It uses the original ELODEV parameters to determine if and how the controller should be reprogrammed. Use the -i flag if ELODEV is not at the default software interrupt (65 hex). For example, ELODEV -p+ -i62 The -p+ flag will also re-display the controller firmware revision level and other information.

  • Page 41: Updating Flags

    Chapter 4 - DOS Touchscreen Driver and Calibration Utility Updating Flags ELODEV may be re-run to modify the settings of a previously installed copy. For example: ELODEV -w90 Note that no controller information is specified. Only the -c, -s, -w, and -p flags can be changed using this method. To change the -i flag, extract and reinstall ELODEV as explained above.

  • Page 46: Point Extrapolation

    ELOCALIB Point Extrapolation You may have noticed ELOCALIB does not acquire its calibration points in the corners of the video image. The points are taken a little in from the edges, then extrapolated to achieve an estimated value at the edges. This is because the image on many monitors is not very linear, and usually least linear in the corners, due to the pin cushion effect.

Beep Flag (-b) Normally MonitorMouse for DOS gives a "click" sound for each touch. The beep flag may be used to disable the beeps (-b-). Because the touchscreen does not have the tactile feedback of a mouse button, audible feedback helps to confirm your action.

  • Page 56: Mickey/Pixel Ratio Flag (-R)

    Chapter 5 - MonitorMouse for DOS Mickey/Pixel Ratio Flag (-r) This flag specifies the default "mickey-to-pixel ratio" for horizontal and vertical motion. A "mickey" is a unit of distance, typically 1/200 of an inch. Consequently, the mickey/pixel ratios specify how far the mouse must move for the cursor to move a given number of pixels.

  • Page 57: Spawn Flag (-S)

    Command Line Flags Spawn Flag (-s) Instructs MonitorMouse for DOS to remain active when an application spawns another program. This flag is required for some off-the-shelf software to run properly. Therefore, the default for the spawn flag is on (-s+). Technically speaking, if the application sets up a mouse interrupt routine, then spawns another program which expects to receive mouse interrupts, MonitorMouse for DOS must remain active after the spawn.
