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

Take the 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.

21
The first tab is the calibration tab, which consists of four features: “Standard Calibration”, “Advanced
Calibration”, “Plot calibration data” and “Turn off EEPROM storage”.

3.1.1. Standard Calibration

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

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

22
The last point is called the verification point, and it will only pass 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:

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

After three retries, 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 less accurate touch panels.
23
Advanced calibration supports 9, 16, or 25 point modes. Please scroll down the “Advanced Mode” drop
down list to choose the 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 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 the touch panel linearity comparison graph appear when you finish
Advanced Calibration.

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

24
3.1.4. Turn off EEPROM storage
Some PenMount controllers support onboard storage (EEPROM or flash) and the device driver will use
stored calibration data if available.

The PenMount Control Panel allows users to turn this feature off. If 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 may want to launch calibration directly in the command line. Please use the
following command:

For 32-bit Windows

“%ProgramFiles%\PenMount Windows Universal Driver\DMCCtrl.exe” -calibration <mode>

For 64-bit Windows

“%ProgramFiles(x86)%\PenMount Windows Universal Driver\DMCCtrl.exe” -calibration <mode>

If the device driver is not install in “PenMount Windows Universal Driver” directory, please check the
following registry for driver install path:
For 32-bit Windows

25
 reg QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\PenMount /v Path

For 64-bit Windows

reg QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PenMount /v Path

For example, the “PenMount Windows USB Driver V2.4.5.365” will be installed in
“%ProgramFiles%\PenMount USB Windows Driver”.

Please also replace the <mode> with one of the following values:

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

3.1.6. Avoid Using Inbox Calibration

Windows Vista / 7 / 8 also provide its own calibration utility which can be launch in the Control Panel.

26
The inbox calibration process prompts for clicking on the 16 points located in the four corners of the
screen. If incorrect points are clicked, please use the Press and hold gesture on a certain point to return
to the previous position.

Please note, that for accuracy and compatibility reasons, 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 inbox calibration.

27
 Multiple Monitors Mapping
PenMount supports two or more touchscreen displays on 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 provides information on mapping PenMount devices to monitors as a mouse device. When
more than one monitor is 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.

Please follow the steps below to enable the multiple display function:

1. In the 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.

28
 3. If there is only one monitor attached, a warning message box will show up.

4. Touch each screen when 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.

5. After the setting procedure is finished, you may need to calibrate 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 “Tablet PC Settings” in the Control Panel.

29
 1. Press the “Setup…” button.
2. Touch the display that shows the following messages.

3. Press the Enter key when the above message is shown on displays that are not touch enabled.

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 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 adjusts touch
position.

3.3.1. Windows XP 64bit Support

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

30
1. There is a “Screen Rotation Monitor” button that appears only in PenMount driver utilities for
the Windows XP 64bit system.

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.

31
3.3.2. Operation Mode
This option is for mouse mode devices only. By specifying different operation modes, users can change
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.

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

32
 Beep Sound

button.
2. The “press and hold” gesture can be disabled in this dialog box. The activation and durations can
also be changed.

3.10.3. Configuring PenMount Gesture

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

41
3.10.3.1. General Settings
Users 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 it 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 chances for misrecognition.

3.10.3.2. Individual Gesture Settings

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

42
Gesture icons in blue indicate that the gesture is currently enabled and grey icons indicate that the
gesture is disabled.

There are four types of gesture actions available.

 Disable
Disable the gesture.
 Hot Key
Send a combination of key events when gesture is recognized.
 Application
Launch a program when gesture is recognized.
 Action
Run a predefined action when gesture is recognized. The supported actions are listed below.
Action Types Description
Shutdown Shutdown the system
Send Right Mouse Click Sends a right mouse click to the foreground application
Send Middle Mouse Click Sends a middle mouse click to the foreground application
Mouse Scroll Forward Sends a mouse wheel scroll forward event to the foreground application
Mouse Scroll Backward Sends a mouse wheel scroll backward event to the foreground
application
Disable Touch Function Disable mouse events from touch
Enable Touch Function Enable mouse events from touch

3.10.4. Using System Gestures

The Flicks gestures are unidirectional gestures happening in a very short time. They are supported in
Windows Vista and Windows 7 for touch devices. In Windows 8, however, only pen devices support
flicks gestures.

43
Their sensitivity and actions are adjustable in the control panel. Setting the sensitivity to “Relaxed”
makes it easier for a flicks gesture to be recognized.
