APPENDIX A
Multiple Monitor Setup (Windows® Only)
Overview
The Multiple Monitor Manager enables you to set up multiple monitors with touch
screens. You must intentionally load this utility during installation in order to configure
multiple displays.
To begin, ensure that you have unique identifiers for each controller. Check them from
the Main tab – Controller ID. This field identifies the controller(s) attached to your
system. If any controller ID value appears with a dot, (for example: USB00000001.1,
USB00000001.2, etc.) you have two or more controllers with the same identifier. You
must change these IDs before you run the multiple monitor manager.
Changing the Controller ID
To change the Controller ID:
1.
These values may be edited from the Tools tab
→
Advanced Options menu and select
“Enable controller identifier editing.” The resulting editable field appears on the
Controller tab.
2.
Controller ID values can be as simple as 00000001, 00000002, and 00000003.
3.
Once the IDs are set, you are done. Exit the control panel.
Setting Up Multiple Monitors
To setup Multiple Monitors:
1.
Open the MT 7 Multiple Monitor Manager by clicking: Start
→
Programs
→
MicroTouch MT 7
→
MultiMonitor Manager.
2.
To associate or link a sensor to a particular monitor, select that monitor and simply
touch a touch screen. Note that the displays have colored frames that will blink when
selected and match the touch screen frame once they have been linked.
