Touch Panel Data Input
Two connection methods are available for sending touch panel data from the FP
to the host: an RS-232C connection and a PS/2 mouse compatible connection.
This section includes instructions for creating both.
RS-232C connection (When SW1-1 is OFF)
When the touch panel is used during the RS-232C (SIO) connection mode,
coordinate output data sent from the FP to the host is not exactly equal to the
coordinates used on the display device. Therefore, an I/F program is necessary
to convert the coordinates on the touch panel into those used on the display
device. It is also necessary to calibrate individual differences, depending on the
touch panel used.
The mouse emulation software listed below can automatically convert the
coordinates with simple initial settings.

A separate conversion program is required for a different user-prepared OS. To
create a conversion program for a different OS, please observe the following
instructions:
(1) Resolution
The FP has “1024” resolution in both the X and Y axes. The origin point (0,0) is
in the upper right corner.
(0,0)
(1023,1023)
The display device however provides “1024 x
768” resolution with the origin point located in
its upper left corner. Therefore, the FP's touch
panel data must be converted to the actual
display coordinates.
