3.3 Connecting the Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen to the Host
Computer
Once the UPDD Driver software has been successfully installed the Zytronic Projected Capacitive
X-Y Controller Touchscreen can now be connected to the host computer. The touchscreen can be
connected to any unused
Serial Com Port (this must be the same serial port as selected in the
software installation setup) or an unused USB port (depending on the controller used)
. Only the
UPDD Driver software should access these ports, any other devices, drivers or programs
must not
address or use the selected Com Port or USB port.
3.3.1 Connecting the Serial Controller to the Host Computer
Connection of the Serial controller variant is simplistic. All that is required is for the Serial controller
to be connected to an unused Serial Com Port on the host computer. This port must be the same as
the one selected during the installation procedure.
Once the controller is connected and powered up the UPDD will fine and identify the controller. The
device is then ready for use.
3.3.2 Connecting the USB Controller to the Host Computer
The USB controller is a Plug and Play Device (PnP).
It is recommended that the
USB controller be connected directly to an available USB port on the
host computer rather that use a self powered USB hub
.
When the USB controller is initially connected to the host computer for the first time, the Windows
“
Found New Hardware
” pop up box is initiated, as shown in Figure 17, stating that new hardware has
been detected.

New hardware detected pop up box
Having detected the new hardware, Windows now initiates the “
New Hardware Wizard
”. For the
pop up menu the user should select the “
Yes this time only
” option to search for the related driver
files for the newly connected hardware, as shown in Figure 18.
