OUSE FOR
OS/2
Included on the accompanying disk is MonitorMouse for OS/2, a touchscreen
driver for IBM OS/2 versions 1.3 through 3.x (Warp). MonitorMouse for OS/2
allows you to run all Presentation Manager mouse-driven applications and off-the-
shelf software without modification using an Elo touchscreen.
MonitorMouse for OS/2 and an Elo touchscreen are recommended for all OS/2
applications that require an intuitive user interface, such as a public kiosk
application. Touchscreens are also popular in point-of-sale, process control,
instrumentation, multimedia, gaming, education, simulation, and training
applications. Elo touchscreens may be used in a harsh environment not
appropriate for a mouse or keyboard.
With MonitorMouse for OS/2, the touchscreen may be used alone, or in
conjunction with any mouse. Various mouse button emulation modes are
supported providing options on how button clicks are simulated. You can choose
the best mode for your application, and change between modes at any time.
Applications using only the left button are the easiest to use with the touchscreen.
Touchscreen Controller Compatibility
Elo manufactures two types of touchscreen technologies. The IntelliTouch
surface wave technology provides excellent clarity and durability. The
AccuTouch
resistive technology features pressure-activated screens with rapid
response and high resolution. PC-Bus, Micro Channel, and serial touchscreen
controllers are available.
