System Requirements
The M150 flat-panel touch monitor requires a personal computer (PC).
This touch monitor will not work with Macintosh computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
•
Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM) port.
You connect the touch screen to this port.
•
Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for the
monitor. If you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer to your
computer documentation for instructions.
•
Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the touch
screen COM port. The touch screen cannot share an IRQ with another device.
•
If the only serial port available on your PC has 25 pins, you will need a 9-pin to
25-pin adapter.
