an RS-232 DE-9 (female) D-shell connector located on the side panel.
The optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input system.
Driver software included with the package allows the touchscreen to
function with many popular DOS and Windows
® -based industrial
applications as a pointing device (mouse).
