Setting Up Your C1700SS Display
This chapter describes how to set up and integrate your 3M™ MicroTouch™ C1700SS
Display into a touch application. You need to complete the following tasks:
• Unpack the components
• Connect the video, touch sensor, and power cables
• Power on the display and test your setup
• Install the touch software
• Calibrate the touch sensor
System Requirements
The C1700SS Display requires a personal computer (PC). These touch displays are not
supported on Macintosh computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
• Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM) or USB port.
You connect the touch sensor to this port.
• Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the COM port that
the touch sensor will use. The touch sensor cannot share an IRQ with another device.
• Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for the display. If
you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer to your computer
documentation for instructions.
When choosing your workspace, select a sturdy, level surface. Also, make sure you can
easily access the back of the touch display and the computer. Easy access helps ensure a
smooth setup of the touch display.
Note: Before setting up your C1700SS Display, refer to the “Error! Reference source
not found.” section at the beginning of this document.
