What is ShowTouch?
ShowTouch is a complete touch panel controller with preloaded design and interface software. It is easy to use and
ready-to-go straight out of box. It can be used to control and monitor any Alcorn McBride Ethernet-enabled show
controller such as the V16Pro. You can even connect multiple ShowTouch panels to the same network and use
them to interface with the show controller from throughout your facility. Show Touch is the most powerful and
flexible interface available that integrates seamlessly with our show control products. Like all Alcorn McBride
products, ShowTouch is designed to run 24/7. There are no moving parts to wear-out so it can be mounted just
about anywhere while still providing a reliable and stable interface.
Important Information
Congratulations! You have purchased an extremely fine product. Before reading this user guide, please make sure
to read the important information in your show controller user guide. If you do not read the show controller user
guide, you may not understand some, or all of the information presented here.
Please do not break this product. It is pretty heavy for its size and that means it was probably expensive. That said,
it is not easy to break this touch panel, and that is probably one of the reasons you are using it (that’s what your boss
told us, not our words). This product was designed to work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, through
fingers coated with popcorn butter, ball-point pens used as pointing devices, and any thing else you were thinking
about doing.
