When a touchscreen is delivered with the RAC6181 Computer, the
touchscreen is installed and the touchscreen controller is installed and
connected.
Touchscreen Serial Port Usage
The optional touchscreen controller for a RAC6181 Computer connects
internally to the COM2 serial port. The touchscreen is factory
configured with the proper COM2 and touchscreen driver settings, so no
user configuration is required. If for any reason these settings are
corrupted, reset the COM2 serial port to 9600bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity.
Driver Software
The touchscreen driver is already loaded on the RAC6181 Computer.
The driver software is also provided on a floppy diskette.
Note: The Elo TouchSytems touchscreen utility defaults to COM1
serial port setting. You must change this setting to COM2
when reloading the touchscreen driver.
