Setting up the VTM-D15/A touch device through AXlink
The touch drivers are already part of the firmware downloaded from SoftROM but you still have to
use terminal emulator to configure the touch device with the desired driver. Refer to the
Programming section of the AXB-TPI/3 Touch Panel Interface 3 instruction manual for more
information on the @MOU command.
To configure the touch panel with the correct driver:
1. Verify that all devices are correctly attached (including all cables on the panel and power
sources) to the AXB-TPI/3.
2. Type ECHO ON (will not appear) and press ENTER. Although there are no characters
displayed, the window is now active and ready to receive commands.
3. Type SHOW INPUT ON and press ENTER.
4. Type VER and press ENTER to get the Device ID number for the TPI/3 Touch Panel Interface.
Do not calibrate the TPI/3 if you are using a Microsoft
®
compatible mouse or a mobile
mouse. Do not enter the <> when entering the values or commands.
