Chapter 04: Using Your eo TufTab a7230X with Windows XP

35

If you check the Plot Calibration Data option in the “Advanced
Calibration” mode, a linearity comparison graph will be dis-
played after the “Advanced Calibration” is complete. The black
lines reflect the ideal linearity assumed by the PenMount control
panel, while the blue lines represent the approximate linearity
calculated by the calibration.

There may be circumstances where you don’t want the calibra-
tion data to be stored in the controller. Perhaps you are only run-
ning a test, or you want the pre-calibrated state to be restored
when you restart the system. In these cases, checking Turn off
EEPROM storage
will disable the write-in of calibration data.

Calibrating the Touch Screen from the Command Prompt
The calibration function can be called from the Windows com-
mand prompt, in case you’d like to include it in a batch file, and
map it to one of the eo TufTab’s user programmable function
buttons.

1. To open a command prompt window, go to START > All

Programs > Accessories and tap on Command Prompt.

2. Enter, all on one line:

c:\Program Files\PenMount Universal

Driver\DMCCtrl.exe -calibration (0)

to execute a

Standard Calibration.

NOTE: Calibration options available are 0=Standard, 4=Advanced 4pt,

9=Advanced 9pt, 16=Advanced 16pt, and 25=Advanced 25pt.

Touch Mode
The Touch mode affects how the touch screen accepts and
processes input. There are two basic modes of operation: Stream
Mode and Point Mode.

In Mouse Emulation (Stream Mode), positional information is
relayed to the operating system continuously. In this mode
you can place the stylus or your finger on the screen and drag
items around. This is the mode you’ll probably want to use for
standard usage.
