Installing the Driver

Hardware

Touchscreen controllers must be configured for the driver prior to installation. Elo typically ships controllers in a default setup that is compatible with this driver. Controller requirements are:

Serial

USB

Software

There are many options to consider when installing the driver files. This section will explain the most common ways that the driver is installed. Consult Elo Applications Engineering for situations not covered in this section.

Setup from Windows Desktop

Silent Install and command line options

The EloSetup program for this driver may also be run as an attended or unattended program from a command line, batch file, etc. Example usage:

To Silent install for USB controllers use
EloSetup /iu /s

To Silent install for a Serial controller on COM1 use
EloSetup /is /P:1 /s

/Precal: Enable PreCalibration, this allows the calibration data be stored in the touch monitors. Touch monitors with pre-calibration data can be transfered to a different computer without the need to recalibrate on the other computer. PreCalibration feature must be enabeled on the other computer in order for the driver to read the calibration from the Touch monitor. System reboot may be required in order to get the pre-calibrated monitors to work correctly. Only the 3-point calibration can be stored on the Touch monitor; The enhanced, 25-point calibration cannot be stored on the Touch monitor.

/Irpmoff: This feature applies to IR 4500 Serial only. By default (at installation), it is enabled. This option set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elo Touchsystems\EnableIRPowerManagement to 0

/Reboot: With some types of serial ports, a reboot of the computer may be required to complete the driver installation. In some cases, the installation procedure can automatically detect this need and prompt for reboot. In other cases you may need to use this option to force the installation to reboot during serial driver install.

To view all the options available for this installation method, run EloSetup as EloSetup /h.

                       

Installing the APR Drivers

The APR driver automatically detects the appropriate controller for installation. APR only works:

  1. Run the self-extracting zip file to unzip the files.

  2. EloSetup will launch. Select the language for the Universal driver package.

  3. Check the Install USB Touchscreen Drivers box.

Note: The Install Serial Touchscreen Drivers option is not available for APR monitors.

            install USB

When a new APR monitor is first installed on a PC, you may see the following dialog box while the driver is reading the information from the sensor. This process may take up to 4 minutes before touch begins to work.

          

  1. Review and accept the License Agreement.

  2. The Hardware Wizard dialog box may open. Follow the Wizard to complete the installation.

  3. The driver files will install. When the Setup Complete screen appears, click on Finish. Video alignment is not required.
