TouchWare vs. MT 7
TouchWare MT 7
• Developed in 1997 • MT 7 is the new “common platform”
• A series of separate drivers for – EXII based ClearTek and
– Serial ClearTek II
– SC Series Resistive
– USB
– DST
– PS2
• Unified core driver
– 95/98, Win2k, NT,
WinCE.NET, – for USB, HID, Serial, and Serial
Linux Plug and Play interface and
supported operating systems
• Difficult to maintain
• Driver and application code structured
for easier maintenance and support
• MT 7 is designed to support today’s
latest operating systems and
interfaces…..and tomorrow’s
MT 7 Product Strategy
• Foundation for new technologies
• MT7 is the “common touch system element” for
– EXII based ClearTek I & II,
– SC Series Resistive
– DST technologies.
• “Unified core driver”
– for USB, HID and Serial interface and supported operating systems
• Driver and application code structured for easier customer
support
• MT7 is designed to support today’s latest operating
systems…..and tomorrow’s
MT 7 Product Strategy
• Deploy the same features across all operating systems
• Makes the addition of new controller support easy
– I.e., next gen EXII controllers !
• Make all controllers technologies work together and
support their special features
– EXII, DST, SC Series
• Support for Serial, USB, HID interfaces
MT 7 Product Strategy
• MT 7 for all new ClearTek, ClearTek II,
Resistive, and DST touch opportunities
• Allow Sales team to support ALL new 3M
Touch system products using a common
3M Touch Systems driver.
- Commonality of software driver setup
- 3M sales/technical common product knowledge
MT 7 SW Architecture – Why it’s important
• MT 7 Architecture
– Isolated operating system dependent code
– Isolated interface dependent code
– Isolated controller dependent code
– Isolated features
– Supports the expansion and evolution of the code
• The goal of the isolation is to increase the amount of common
code.
• Common code has the advantage of being portable to any
operating system.
• This design applies to both drivers and applications.

• MT 7 is NOT the drop-in replacement for TouchWare
• MT 7 does NOT support SMT3, MT500, MT510, MT410, or other
legacy electronics
TouchWare Customers
• Can migrate their applications to MT 7.12 for support of:
– EXII electronics
– SC Series electronics
• TouchWare will have maintenance updates only
Target Markets
EXII, SC, DST
MT 7 Software Driver
MT 7 Top Competitive Selling points
• USB-HID (SC Series, & DST electronics)
• Serial Plug and Play (SC Series, & DST electronics)
• Designed for today’s operating systems….and
tomorrow’s.
• Unified driver code
– for easier software updates and customer support
• Configurable and Flexible
– Load only the modules you want
– Highly customizable at the driver level
– No need for high level touch application development
