System Requirements
The CT150 flat-panel touch monitors require a personal computer
(PC). These touch monitors are not supported on Macintosh
computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
•
Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM)
or USB port. You connect the touch screen to this port.
•
Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the
COM port that the touch screen will use. The touch screen cannot
share an IRQ with another device.
•
Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for
the monitor. If you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer
to your computer documentation for instructions.
When choosing your workspace, select a sturdy, level surface. Also,
make sure you can easily access the back of the touch monitor and
the computer. Easy access helps ensure a smooth setup of the touch
monitor.
Note:
Before setting up your CT150 FPD, refer to the “Important Safety
Information” section at the beginning of this document.
