Touch Calibration
For resistive touch screens, the most important feature that PenMount Control Panel provides is
calibration. This feature is disabled for projected capacitive touch screens, since they usually don’t need
calibration.

Take PenMount 6000 for example, please click on the “PenMount 6000 USB” or “PenMount 6000
RS232” icon, and then click the “Configure” button to open the device specific configuration window.

The first tab is the calibration tab, which consists of four features: “Standard Calibration”, “Advanced
Calibration”, “Plot calibration data” and “Turn off EEPROM storage”.

19
 3.1.1. Standard Calibration
The Standard calibration function uses four points for calibration and one point for confirmation. Under
normal circumstances, the standard calibration is all you need to perform an accurate calibration.

For better calibration result, please use a stylus and press on the red dot until the program prompts “Lift
off to proceed”. Using finger often gives bad result.

The last point is called the verification point, and it will only pass the verification when the calibrated
position is located within a predefined range.

If it does not pass verification, the calibration process will show a dialog box as below:

20
Please use keyboard to choose Yes or No. Press the “Y” key for Yes if you really can accept the
inaccurate result. Press the “N” key for No and it will restart from point #1 again.

After three times of retry, the calibration process will fail, please press the “Esc” key to exit. If this
happens, please consider using advanced calibration.

3.1.2. Advanced Calibration

The advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by using more complex
algorithms, and is good for lesser accurate touch panels.

21
The advanced calibration supports 9, 16 or 25 point modes. Please scroll down the “Advanced Mode”
drop down list for choosing a desired mode.

The following diagram shows the points for 9 point calibration. Please notice that the 10th point is used
for verification, which is similar to the case of standard calibration.

The more points used for calibration, the greater the accuracy. Errors in calibration may occur due to
viewing angle, or individual skill, and there may be little difference in using 16 or 25 points. Note that a
stylus is recommended for the most accurate results.

3.1.3. Plot Calibration Data

Check this function to have touch panel linearity comparison graph appear when you finish Advanced
Calibration.

The black lines reflect the ideal linearity assumed by PenMount application program while the blue lines
show the approximate linearity calculated by PenMount application program as the result of user’s
execution of Advance Calibration.

22
3.1.4. Turn off EEPROM storage
Some of the PenMount controller support onboard storage (EEPROM or flash), and the device driver will
use the calibration data in it if available.

The PenMount Control Panel allows user to turn this feature off. If the EEPROM storage is disabled, the
calibration process will only update the registry data after it finishes successfully.

3.1.5. Calibration with Command Line

In some cases, users might want to launch calibration directly in command line. Please use the following
command:

%PROGRAMFILES%\PenMount Universal Driver\DMCCtrl.exe -calibration <mode>

Mode Description
4 4 point standard calibration
9 9 point advanced calibration
16 16 point advanced calibration
25 25 point advanced calibration
Please notice that is multiple monitors are connected to the host PC, the calibration process will prompt
for choosing a desired display first.

23
3.1.6. Avoid Using Inbox Calibration
Windows Vista / 7 / 8 also provides its own calibration utility, which can be launch in the Control Panel.

The inbox calibration process prompts for clicking on the 16 points located in the four corners of the
screen. If clicking on wrong places, please use the Press and hold on a certain point will return to the
previous position.

24
Please notice that for accuracy and compatibility reason, we strongly suggest using the PenMount
calibration utilities instead. If you have used the inbox calibration before, please click on the “Reset …”
button to disable the inbox calibration.

Using with Multiple Monitors

PenMount supports two or more touchscreen displays for one system. Each monitor requires its own
PenMount touchscreen control board, either installed inside the display or in a central unit. Multiple
Monitors supports the following modes:

 Windows Extend Monitor Function

 Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
 nVidia nView Function

NOTE: The Multiple Monitors function will be disabled if there is only one touchscreen display. Once
this function is enabled, the Rotation function will be disabled.

3.2.1. Mouse Mode

This section provide information on mapping PenMount device to monitors as a mouse device. When
more than one monitors are connected to the host PC, touch will be mapped to the whole virtual screen
before it is mapped to a certain monitor with the PenMount Control Panel, so it is necessary to perform

monitor mapping.
25
Please follow the steps below to enable the multiple display function:

1. In PenMount Control Panel, under Multiple Monitors tag, check the “Multiple Monitor Support”
box.
2. Click on the “Map Touch Screens” button to start assigning touch controllers to displays.

3. If there is only one monitor attached, a warning message box will show up.

4. Touch each screen as it displays “Please touch this monitor. Press the ‘S’ key to skip”, or wait for
10 seconds to skip automatically. Press the Esc key if you want to cancel the mapping process.

26
 5. After the setting procedure is finished, maybe you need to calibrate for each panel and
controller.

3.2.2. Digitizer Mode

When a PenMount device is installed as digitizer, the device will be mapped to the main display by
default. To map to other display monitors, please launch the “Tablet PC Settings” in the Control Panel.

1. Press the “Setup…” button.

2. Touch the display that shows the following messages.

27
 3. Press the Enter key when the above message is shown on other displays that is not mounted
with touch.

Screen Rotation
There are currently a number of software packages on the market that support rotating monitors 0°,
90°, 180°, and 270°. However you will not be able to use a touchscreen unless it is matched to the
appropriate rotation. Our rotation configuration function allows you to easily match the touchscreen
when you rotate your monitor.

If you use a rotating monitor you will need a display card such as from nVidia, Intel, SMI or ATI and
software such as Portrait Pivot Pro. For software operation and features, please refer to your software
manual.

PenMount supports rotation detection of 90, 180 and 270 degrees, and automatically adjust the touch
position.

3.3.1. Windows XP 64bit Support

On Windows XP 64 bit systems, however, users still need to manually turn on the rotation detection
support with the instructions described below.

1. There is a “Screen Rotation Monitor” button that appears only in the PenMount driver utilities
for Windows XP 64bit system.

28
 2. On enabling “Screen Rotation Monitor”, you will see a screen like below:

3. Choose rotate function (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) in the 3rd party software. The calibration screen will
appear automatically. Touch this point and rotation is mapped.

Operation Mode
This option is for mouse mode devices only. By specifying different operation modes, users can changes
the input mode for different application usages.

Operation Mode Description

Pen Input Emulation Select this mode and mouse will emulate Windows Vista pen input
device operation, by which no mouse event will be sent until the
touch is dragged out of range or released from the screen.
Mouse Emulation Select this mode and mouse functions as normal and allows
dragging of icons.

Click on Touch Select this mode and mouse only provides a click function, and
dragging is disabled.

29
 Click on Release Select this mode and mouse only provides a click function when the
touch is released.

Beep Sound
All of PenMount device drivers support the beep sound function; however, some PC systems may only
offer a fixed buzzer sound, and only mouse mode devices support buzzer adjustment.

3.11.3. Configuring PenMount Gesture

The PenMount Gesture Settings Dialog box allow users to change the sensitivity on gesture recognition
and the action types of a gesture.

38
3.11.3.1. General Settings
Uses can set up the sensing time and sensitivity from the general settings section.

 Sensing Time

The PenMount gesture starts recognizing a gesture when pen down occurs, and stops after a
period of time or pen up. This period of time is adjustable from 500 ms to 2500 ms. The longer
the sensing time, the easier a gesture will be recognized, but also increase the chance for
misrecognition.

 Sensitivity
The gestures supported are directional. When sensitivity is set to low, PenMount uses stricter
rules for recognizing gestures. Increasing the sensitivity make it easier to generate a gesture
action, but also increase the chance for misrecognition.

3.11.3.2. Individual Gesture Settings

The gesture settings section provide change on actions for each gesture. To choose a target action,
please click on the gesture icon, and choose one from the dialog box:
