Crestron Touch The PC Driver Software

Touch the PC Driver

Introduction

The Crestron®Touch the PC Driver, V2 (Touch the PC V2),licensed for use only in

conjunction with the TPS-XVGA/-BV/L Computer Interface Cards, is designed to

enable a Crestron Isys® TPS touchpanel to function as a computer touchscreen

monitor, compatible with Microsoft Windows®98/XP and Windows 2000/NT.

Touch the PC V2, as described in this manual, should be used instead of any earlier

versions, because it prevents possible confusion between left clicks and double

clicks, and is more compatible with Windows XP.

When you use the touchpanel as a monitor for a computer connected to your

Crestron control system (Cresnet®system), Touch the PC V2 lets you use your

finger on the touchpanel to simulate typical computer mouse click and drag

functions. In operation, use of Touch the PC V2 is similar to using a tablet device

(such as a graphics tablet). For example, touching the cursor and dragging it across

the screen actually creates a selection box and selects displayed items in the path, as

though you had done a left-click-and-drag operation with a regular mouse. The way

to move the cursor using Touch the PC V2 is to first select one of the Touch Action

functions and then perform the action. For example, selecting Touch None only

enables you to move the cursor around the screen—no left- or right-click functions

available. Selecting Touch Left enables you to do a left click (and drag, if desired)

where you touch the screen. Selecting Touch Right enables you to do a right click

(and drag, if desired) where you touch the screen. The buttons associated with these

functions are interlocked.

The touchpanel can connect to the personal computer (PC) running Touch the PC

V2 via a direct serial line, or it can connect to the control system via Cresnet or via

Ethernet, and the control system connects to the PC serially.

The Network/CIP Transmission Symbols are initialized automatically during control

system reboot, eliminating the use of the “todest” and “toformat” commands on the

touchpanel.

Driver Requirements

To program the touchpanel for use with Touch the PC V2, a PC that contains

Crestron VisionTools®Pro-e (VT Pro-e) and SIMPL Windows is required. Refer to

the following table for the requirements of the touchpanel, PC, and Cresnet system.

Driver Software Installation

To install the Touch the PC V2 software, download the files from the Downloads |

Software Updates | Touchpanels page of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).

Search for Touch The PC Driver, V2. This file will create a UPDD folder plus the

PDF version of this programmer’s guide and a Release Notes document.

NOTE: Crestron recommends that the baud rate for both the touchpanel and PC

port be set at the default rate of 9600, N81.

Open the UPDD Driver folder and run setup.exe. The name of the pointer device

can be changed from the default "Device 1" to "Crestron Touchpanel.” In the “Port”

Programmer’s Guide – DOC. 5916B Touch the PC Driver •3

Software Crestron Touch The PC Driver

window, a COM port other than the default COM1 can be selected, to specify the

COM port from which the PC will receive the Touch the PC V2 commands.

Setup.exe will finish with a prompt to restart the computer. The computer MUST be

restarted.

The Windows Start menu will now list UPDD as a program, and the system tray of

the Windows status bar will include icons shown below.

Pointer Device Settings & Event Scheduler Icons

After the system has been configured and programmed as outlined in the rest of this

guide, it can be calibrated (or tested). Right-click the Pointer Device Settings icon

and as shown below, select Calibrate from the Device Manager menu. Select

Device 1 | Normal and calibrate the screen by following the onscreen directions.

Select Calibrate

The COM port can be changed by selecting Adjust settings from the Device

Manager menu. As shown in the following illustration, open the Hardware tab and

choose a COM port from the drop-down list.

Configuring the System

The touchpanel may be configured for serial, Cresnet, or Ethernet communication

with the PC that contains the Touch the PC V2 software. TPS tilt touchpanels may

contain a TPS-XVGA or TPS-XVGA-BV card. TPS lectern touchpanels (and TPS-

TPI user interface) utilize a TPS-XVGAL card. To configure the PC, touchpanel,

and specific TPS-XVGA card, refer to an appropriate section below and or on the

next seven pages. In each configuration, for more information about cabling and

wiring specifications, refer to “Appendix B – Cable and Wiring Specifications” on

page 21.

PC to Touchpanel Serial Communication

For Touch the PC V2 operation using serial communication from the PC to the

touchpanel, refer to the steps below.

1. At the touchpanel, enter the setup mode. From the Main menu screen,

press Setup, then RS-232. Press RS-232 Port for Touch Output.

2. Refer to the appropriate (for TPS-XVGA, TPS-XVGA-BV, or TPS-

XVGAL card) diagrams and tables which follow and make the cable

connections.
