By using the BA72A you are provided with a terminal-orientated, ergonomi- cal and customer-friendly cashier’s workplace. The BA72A is the enhanced version of the BA72. It is equipped with the PanelLink technology with the new highlights: cable distance support up to 5m, flexible All-in-One cable for Touch Screen, loudspeaker and supply volt- age.
The low-energy, flickerfree and radiation-free colour monitor of the BA72A is an Active-Matrix-Display in TFT-technology (Thin Film Transistor). Therefore, it is especially suited for multimedia applications as it offers brilliant colour representation, an excellent contrast ratio and a high dis- play speed.
If damage has occurred during shipping or if the package contents do not match the delivery note, immediately inform your Wincor Nixdorf sales outlet. Transport the device only in its original packaging (to protect it against im- pact and shock).
BA72A Components Screen Module The screen module represents the main unit of the BA72A. It comprises of a TFT-LCD colour screen, the TFT-interface and an inverter that genera- tes the voltage for backlighting the screen. As an option the screens are available with Touch Screen including a loudspeaker.
LCD Controller “Stretching” is only possible when a separate TFT conroller is used. So, when operating with the BA72A and the integrated TFT controller at the Media GXm CPU, “stretching” is not possible. Here you will see a black margin around the centered picture.
TFT-Controller-A TFT-Controller-A TFT-Controller-A The TFT-controller-A is a plug-in-controller with a PCI-interface. There are two connections for a 40-pin MDR connector with integrated COM5 output a 9-pin DSUB female (for COM6) COM5 and COM6 are only ready for operation when the optional COM board is used.
Capacative Touch Screen (Option) General The TFT Touch Screen works according to the principle of a change in analog capacitance. It has a glass screen with a transparent, thin-film overlay on the surface. This is fully sealed and protected by a further layer of clear glass.
Touch Screen Anti Reflective Etched Surface and protection ClearTek Glass Overcoat Conductive Coating Protective Noise Shield The programming interface of the screen is identical to the mouse inter- face. Touch Screen Touch Screen and Sleep Mode Using the Touch Screen with a BEETLE Pentium CPU, an entry via touch during sleep mode may lead to a faulty input.
Touch Screen Touching the touch glass has the same effect as clicking the left mouse button. You only need to apply a little pressure with the fingertip. In this ca- pacitive process only fingertip contact is recognized. The screen does not react in any way if touched, for example, with a pencil or a glove.
COM Board COM Board for Touch Screen COM Board The COM Board is an additional board for the TFT-controller-A with an ISA bus interface that has 2 or 4 COM interfaces (COM5, 6, 7, 8). COM5 and COM6 are linked to the BA72 controller via a plug connector. COM5 is a reduced COM interface for RxD and TxD signals and is intended for the use of the (optional) touch function.
COM Board COM Interface Interrupts COM5 COM6 COM7 COM7-8 COM6-8 Interrupt IRQ9 IR10 IRQ10 IR11 IRQ11 IR12 IRQ12 IR15 IRQ15 For the default setting the jumper I1, I2, I8, IR11, IR12 and IR15 are active (closed). The interrupts IRQ9 and IRQ10 are added for PC application only. For a correct reproduction of the interrupt signals it is necessary that the jumper IR9 to IR15 are not activated.
COM Board Assignment of COM port addresses and interrupts (installation details) Ensure that there is no conflict of hardware port addresses or interrupt re- quests (IRQs) used by your system and the AT COM Board! Essentially the AT COM Board has been designed to be configurable for a non-shared IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for COM5 and a sha- red IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, or IRQ15 for COM6,7,8 and even COM5.

COM Board The AT COM Board manual numbers the COM ports from 5 to 8. The ori- gin of this numbering is from the BEETLE, which has COM1 to COM4 on the motherboard. It is recommended for consistency, that you use this numbering also, regardless whether you have e.g.

COM Board Using shared interrupts for COM ports under Windows 95 Under Windows 95, sharing COM ports doesn’t require special provisions other than correctly specifying the resources used in the Device Manager. However, in addition to avoid port address conflicts, you must ensure that no two different pieces of hardware on the AT bus are fighting for the same IRQ! Using COM ports under Windows 3.x...

LCD-TFT Adapter A-MediaGXm LCD-TFT Adapter A-MediaGXm LCD-TFT Adapter A-MediaGXm In the case of the BEETLE with GXm CPU the TFT adapter can be connec- ted with GXm CPU without TFT con- troller and without COM board. The LCD TFT adapterA is a submodule of the GXm CPU which is necessary for the connecting process.

LCD-TFT Adapter A-Celeron LCD-TFT Adapter A-Celeron LCD-TFT Adapter A-Celeron In the case of the BEETLE with Ce- leron CPU the TFT adapter can be connected with the Celeron CPU wi- thout TFT controller and without COM board. The LCD TFT adapterA is a submodule of the Celeron CPU which is necessary for the connec- ting process.
Resistive Touch Screen (Option) General The resistive TFT Touch Screen is constructed of a hard-coated polyester topsheet that is overlaid on a conductively-coated glass layer. Voltage is applied to the topsheet. As the user touches the screen, the topsheet com- presses into contact with the glass layer, and current flows to the four cor- ners in proportion to the distance from the edge.
Touch Screen Construction of the resistive Touch Screen: Hard-coated poly- ester topsheet Adhesive Glass substrate with spa- cer dots How to Operate Touching the touch screen has the same effect as clicking the left mouse button. You only need to apply a little pressure with the fingertip. In this re- sistive process not only fingertip contact is recognized.
The screens can be installed either with or without attached operating elements, as a table top terminal or on a tubular stand. Securing into Place Installing the BA72A into Place (Table Top Version) Remove the footed stand and screen element from the card- board packaging.
Tubular Stand Version Tubular Stand Version Now fasten the screw on the footed stand into place again using the crosstip screw- driver. Ensure that the screw is in the correct position.

The BEETLE /L speaker is then inactive. The 4-pin plug connector is next to the RAM module. Use the TFT speaker TFT Controller cable (delivered with...
Connecting the BA72A to the BEETLE /20 The hardware installation is carried out according to the installation of the BA72A to the BEETLE /L. When installing the TFT controller, you have op- tionally two further COM interfaces (COM7 and COM8) at your disposal.
“Installing the TFT adapter" at the end of this chapter. If a TFT adapter-A is installed, a BA72A can be connected to the BEETLE /M without assigning a slot. The connection to the system is effected via a 40-pin data cable.
Connecting the BA72A to the BEETLE/M Installation The touch function with a LCD TFT adapter-A has to be activated via a jumper (see also jumper settings). The COM2 interface has to be covered and may no longer be used externally.

, and then remove it from the guide rail. PULL PULL Insert the 40-pin BA72A cable of the keyboard. The cable will be carried in a cur- ve from the small co- ver of the screen module to the cable co- ver.
Installation Releasing the Cable Connection Releasing the Cable Connection Releasing the Cable Connection Never remove a cable from a connector socket by simply pulling on the cable. Always remove the cable by the connector housing. Please follow the instructions below when removing cables: Turn off all switches to the mains and electrical equipment.
Software Installation The software installation refers to the installation of corresponding display drivers; the installation of the touch screen comprises the allocation of re- sources for the COM interfaces, too. For this, corresponding diskettes are available. The installation of display drivers is normally done after a VGA card is re- placed with the TFT controller.
Touch Screen Software Interfaces Touch Screen Touch Screen Touching the screen corresponds to press the left mouse key. The touch screen programming interface is identical to that of the mouse interface.
