System Requirements 

The C1500SS Display requires a personal computer (PC). These touch displays are not 
supported on Macintosh computers. 

The requirements for your PC are as follows: 

 

Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM) or USB port. 
You connect the touch sensor to this port. 

 

Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the COM port that 
the touch sensor will use. The touch sensor cannot share an IRQ with another device. 

 

Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for the display. If 
you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer to your computer 
documentation for instructions. 

When choosing your workspace, select a sturdy, level surface. Also, make sure you can 
easily access the back of the touch display and the computer. Easy access helps ensure a 
smooth setup of the touch display. 

Note:

  Before setting up your C1500SS Display, refer to the “Important Safety 

Information” section at the beginning of this document. 

Unpacking Your Touch Display 

Carefully unpack the carton and inspect the contents. Your C1500SS includes the 
following cables and accessories:
