The configurable parameters include the Monitor Number for MultiMonitor thin clients, Right Click Hold Time
to give the touch screen the right click function, and/or the Calibration Hot Key, and Calibration Hotkey
assignment, among others.
Touch Screen Controller
The module needs to match the make of the touch screen controller, not the brand name of the monitor. The
make of the monitor is incidental.
USB Touch Screens
Touch screen monitors that use USB to connect to the terminal should use the USB Touch Driver

Calibration
The calibration program can be initiated on the terminal by highlighting the terminal in the ThinManager tree
and selecting Tools> Calibrate Touch Screen on the ThinManager menu.

Calibration Tools in the Module Property Window


The Touch Screen Module can be configured so that holding a touch for a number of seconds will initiate the
calibration program. Use the Calibration Touch Down Time (seconds) parameter.
The touch calibration can be initiated with a hot key if the Calibration Hotkey parameter is configured in the
module.
The Calibration program can be run from the Start menu of a desktop by selecting Start > All Programs >
ACP > CalTouchScreen.
The TermMon ActiveX control can be configured to initiate the calibration program from within an application.

Note: Allen-Bradley touch screens use the PenMount touch screen controller in early models but are changed
to the PanJit touch controller in later versions of the same series. If a new monitor doesn’t behave properly
with the PenMount driver try using the PanJit driver.
