 Chapter 1. Touch Panel Controller

This touch panel controller provides the optimistic performance of analog resistive
touch panels for 4 wire, 5 wire and 8 wire models. It communicates with PC system
directly through RS232, PS/2 or USB connector. Users can see how superior the
design is in sensitivity, accuracy and friendly operation. The touch panel driver
emulates mouse left and right button function and supports operation systems
including Microsoft Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP / XP Tablet PC Edition,
Windows CE 2.12 / 3.0 / .NET, Linux, iMac and DOS.

 Chapter 2. Installing TouchKit

TouchKit is software, which contains drivers, configuration and right button utilities of
the touch panel controllers for RS232 and USB on x86 CPU and Windows CE
operation system.

The two utilities are as follows:

• Configuration support
The calibration and draw test of touch panel are done by this support.

• Right button support

This is utility for emulating the right and left button of mouse through controlling
touch panel. Users can toggle between right or left mouse buttons by this utility.

2.1 For Windows CE 2.12 / 3.0

There are totally five files in the TouchKit for Windows CE directory.
Follow these steps to install TouchKit for Windows CE.

TouchKit.dll - driver
Touch32ex.dll - specific dynamic linking library
TouchTray.exe - right mouse support
TouchKit.exe - Configuration Utility
TouchKit.reg - information that will be added to registry

1. Make sure that Windows CE has the driver of serial ports.

2. While building Windows CE, users have to assign TouchKit.dll, Touch32ex.dll,
TouchTry.exe and Touchkit.exe to appropriate directory.
3. Add some registry value as the content of TouchKit.reg.
4. Now, build Windows CE with this touch panel driver and utilities.

Note: TouchTray.exe is the file of the Right Mouse Utility. It has to be started with
computer booting. So, put this file to appropriate directory to satisfy this
specific request.

Now, users can boot this Windows CE version on specific device. The right mouse
button utility will be emulated while computer booting and the touch panel driver is
also ready.

2.2 For Windows CE.NET Stylus

There are two driver package versions and showed as below:

Use CE.NET bundle calibration utility

Use Stylus dedicated configuration utility.

could choose the path while building the image of CE platform. This
program is not necessary for CE.NET)

Note: Users select the UHCI or OHCI USB Host Controller driver into the
platform, which supported by the target device, and check the USB mouse
can go well at the same port.
