Installing 3M™ MicroTouch™ Software
3M™ MicroTouch™ Software includes the driver that enables your sensor to work with
your computer. 3M Touch Systems has touch drivers for many operating systems,
including Windows Vista, XP, XP embedded, 2000, 9X, Windows Me, Windows CE,
and Windows NT 4.0 (refer to the website for a complete listing). You must be sure to
install the correct software for your operating system.
3M™ MicroTouch™ Software includes a control panel for setting your sensor
preferences and a diagnostic utility. If you are experiencing problems with the sensor,
you can use the diagnostic utilities provided to locate the controller and test the sensor.
For more information on connecting your cables and installing and using the sensor
control panel and utilities, refer to the 3M™ MicroTouch™ Software User Guides
available on the corporate website at

Calibrating the Sensor
Calibration
aligns the sensor with the underlying video. Specifically, calibration defines
the dimensions of the image area of the sensor, determines the edges of the screen’s video
image, and locates the center of the sensor. You must calibrate the sensor by following
the instructions on the screen and test the calibration to ensure accurate operation.
Using 3M™ MicroTouch™ Software, you must perform a 25-point linearization with the
pen. When complete, you should perform a standard 2-point calibration
TWICE
: once
with the pen and once with your finger. This will ensure that both input methods are
accurate.
