Touch-Base Touchscreen drivers for Windows P/N 142653.

 This readme file provides installation advice for installing the
 Xycom Touch-Base touch screen software over MS Win95, Win98, WinNT,
 Win2K and XP on a Xycom Automation Industrial PC.  

 A note about modes:  The Xycom Touch Controller board can be operated
 in PS/2 or Serial communication modes.  In general, PS/2 mode is
 preferred because the touch controller does not require the use of a
 COM port in this mode (When the COM port is used it is hard wired to
 COM2 on PC/AT's with a local touch screen).  However some Xycom PC's
 require use of Serial mode for support of an external touch screen
 or due to an older design without multiple PS/2 input support.
 Consult the manuals for default operational modes.

 or due to an older design without multiple PS/2 input support.
 Consult the manuals for default operational modes.

Step 1: 
 For 35XX, 34XX, 33XX, 3015, 50xx (Not 5017) units, make sure your
 system is properly configured with MS Windows and a Xycom Touch
 Controller board P/N 140554-001 or P/N 140554-002. For 36xx & 37xx
 units the proper touch controller is already a built-in part of the
 TSKAM. Note: 36xx and 37xx units are hard configured to only support
 PS/2 mode.

Step 2: 
 For units with Touch Controller P/N 140554-TAB, check the Xycom Touch
 Controller board and make sure the following settings are in place:

 For PS/2 mode on P/N 140554-TAB (default on most systems):
  a) Set all jumpers on the Touch Controller card (P/N 140554) to the
     "B" position.
  b) Refer to the manual for your Xycom Industrial PC.  If the
     following jumpers exist on the PC's motherboard next to the socket
     for the touch controller board. For 35XX units remove any jumpers
     that may be in place for J14,J15,J16,J17. For 33XX units, make
     sure jumpers JP1 and JP2 are in the 1-2 position. Note: Some Xycom
     PC's do not have any jumpers near the touch controller socket and
     this step can be ignored in such cases.

 For Serial mode on P/N 140554-TAB
  a) Set all jumpers on the Touch Controller card (P/N 140554) to the
     "A" position.
  b) Refer to the manual for your Xycom Industrial PC.  If the
     following jumpers exist on the PC's motherboard next to the socket
     for the touch controller board. For 35XX units, then insert
     jumpers for J14,J15,J16,J17. For 33XX units, make sure jumpers JP1
     and JP2 are in the 2-3 postion.  Note: Some Xycom PC's do not have
     any jumpers near the touch controller socket and this step can be
     ignored in such cases.

Step 3:
  Install the driver software for PS/2 mode :
  (Note: The driver is supplied in 3 folders named Disk1, Disk2 and
  Disk3.  Please copy the files to 2 floppy diskettes.)
  a) If special instructions or configuration utilities are provided
     with the drivers (e.g. See Appendix A for 33xx) follow them now.
  b) Insert the diskette for UPDD PS/2 3.08.16P Disk 1 and run
     a:\setup.exe
  c) Accept all default choices and complete the installation, you will
     be prompted to enter Disk 2 and Disk 3 as the installation
     proceeds.
  d) Reboot! (you may be prompted to do so automatically but if not do
     it anyway) and remove the installation diskette

Step 4: 
 Calibrate the Touch Screen - Rough Calibration
  a) Open the Windows Control Panel
  b) start the Control Panel applet titled "Pointer Devices"
  c) Select the Calibrate button or hit the Alt & C keys simultaneously
  d) Perform a 2 point calibration by touching on the cross hairs as
     prompted
 
Step 5:
 Calibrate the Touch Screen - Fine Calibration
  a) Open the Windows Control Panel
  b) Start the Control Panel applet titled "Pointer Devices"
  c) Select the "Calibration" tab
  d) Change the settings of the number of calibration points to 25
  e) Change the "Start in At"  setting to 0
  f) Click the "Apply" button
  g) Click the "Calibrate" button and perform the 25 point calibration

Step 6:
 Adjust the mouse tracking (Averaging)
  a) Open the Windows Control Panel
  b) Start the Control Panel applet titled "Pointer Devices"
  c) Select the "Settings" tab
  d) Change the "Averaging" slide-bar value to 0
  f) Click the "Apply" button

Step 7:
 Increase mouse speed (Not normally used)
  a) Select the Start/Programs/Uppd/Settings
  b) Select the Advanced Tab
  c) Select the Macros Button
  d) You should see the following
       [HEX]
       5A
  e) Add text the create the following sequence:
       [HEX]
       5A
