Properties

A Properties page will be created for each touchscreen controller installed by EloSetup and for each serial port reserved for a controller, even if that controller is not present. A number will be assigned to each Properties page that is related to the order in which controllers or ports were detected or enumerated. Each Properties page contains information extracted from the touchscreen controller and the system about the monitor, touchscreen, controller, and internal driver.

Screen Information

If a serial port is reserved for a touchscreen controller that is not actually installed, the only information contained in the Screen information section of the associated Properties page will be the number of the Windows COM port. No Screen configuration icons will be displayed.

Each Properties page also contains an Advanced section.

This tab only appears for Carroll Touch screens (4000 and 4500)
and continuously monitors the health of the IR beams and reports any problems.

  • Frequency Threshold. The frequency adjustment sets the touch screen driving frequency of the controller. Adjustment of this parameter may be needed when some of the external similar frequencies to the current drive frequency are being used nearby.

  • Sensitivity. The sensitivity adjusts how difficult or easy it is to activate the touch screen; the lower the value is the more sensitive the sensor/controller will be. The allowable range is 10,000 to 65535 and the default is 32,768. The software displays the current sensitivity setting.

    Right Click on Hold

    Right Click on Hold is a new feature added in version 4.20. This feature allows new and efficient way of creating right clicks on the touch screen without needing to run the Right Mouse Button Tool. If the user touches the screen and continues to touch, a right click is generated on the screen, if the users remains within the Right click area and after the Right click delay time-out has occured. The right click delay allows the users to perform other touchscreen operations normally.When the user touches the screen and holds his finger down, an animated clock is painted at the location, the animated clock continues to tick and generates a right click at the location after it completes.
    • Enable right click on hold: If checked, it enables this feature for this screen, otherwise, it is disabled.

    • Apply to all touchscreens: If checked, the current values are set to all touchscreens when "Apply" or "Ok" button is clicked.

    • Right click delay: Defines the right click delay value in milliseconds. The right click delay allows the users to perform other touchscreen operations normally.

    • Right Click Area: Touching within this area generates a right click. This area allows the user the flexibility to touch within a larger area.

    NOTE: Right click on hold feature is enabled only in "Mouse emulation" touch mode. When Right click on hold feature is turned on, Drag Delay value is set to a minimum of 25 milliseconds.
