The LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board

The LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board
One of three interface boards may be found in the 12.1" LCD/Touchscreen Head,
listed below by the spare P/N and description.
• 400499-001 - TFT LCDs - U14 = MicroTouch Excalibur Touchscreen Controller.
o Eclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head Assemblies using this interface board are
marked P/N 400497-002. U14, the MicroTouch Excalibur Touchscreen
Controller reached end-of-life (EOL) in late 2004.
• 400499-002 - DSTN LCDs - U14 = MicroTouch Excalibur Touchscreen
Controller.
o Eclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head Assemblies using this interface board are
marked P/N 400497-001. New sales of DSTN LCDs were discontinued in
November 2001, but spare DSTN LCD panels (Sharp 12S49) are still
available.
• 400499-003 - TFT LCDs - U14 = Hampshire Touchscreen Controller. Also
referred to as the VB12 Board. The Hampshire Touchscreen Controller introduces
several compatibility issues, listed below.
Windows based systems require new touchscreen drivers.
o
If a LCD/Touchscreen head or interface board using the Hampshire
Touchscreen Controller is installed on a system running the MicroTouch
TouchWare drivers, the touchscreen will not function. FB04-008 describes
how to download and install the Hampshire touchscreen drivers for supported
Windows based systems. New systems will ship with the Hampshire windows
compatible drivers. The MicroTouch TouchWare drivers are included should
they be required.
In addition, up to 1000 Eclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head assemblies, P/N
400497-003 were shipped with an incorrect jumper setting. LCD/Touchscreen
Head Assemblies with the correct jumper setting are labeled P/N
400497-003A. Refer to Field Bulletin FB04-010, or the configuration section
of this chapter for more details.
8700 and 9700 Diskless Clients (either diskless or with a hard disk)
o
are not supported.
FB04-009 provides suggested alternatives if an LCD/Touchscreen Head or
interface board with the Hampshire Touchscreen controller must be
substituted for a 3M TouchWare based system.
Throughout the remainder of this section, each interface board is referred to as '-001',
'-002' and '003'.
The primary difference between the -001 and -002 boards is the type of LCD panel
(TFT or DSTN) supported. The Touchscreen Interface on these boards are the same,
based on the Microtouch Excalibur touchscreen controller, coupled to MicroTouch
TouchWare drivers on Windows based systems.
