## 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

> #### Properties 1

> ####

> #### Windows Monitor Number

> - Windows monitor number lists the monitor that corresponds to the "Windows Monitor" from the Windows Display Properties control panel.

> #### Touchscreen Type

> - Touchscreen Type lists the Elo touchscreen used by its marketing name, i.e., AccuTouch for Elo's five-wire resistive touchscreen

> #### Installed On

> - Installed On indicates USB or lists the Windows COM port that a serial touchscreen is installed on.

> #### Controller Model

> - Controller Model lists the marketing model number of the controller attached. It also lists the revision of the firmware loaded in the controller.

> The APR Property is the same as other touchscreens with the exception of the Video Alignment and Advanced and Use Default Calibration buttons. The Use Default Calibration button allows you to reset the calibration back to the original driver default mode.

Each Properties page also contains a Screen information section that has two functions:

- The Identify Monitor button will display the Elo logo on the monitor associated with this Properties page for about one second each time this button is touched.

- The EloVA icon will launch the video alignment program only for the monitor associated with the current Properties page. Running EloVA from the Properties page avoids the need to align all monitors in a multiple monitor application when only a single monitor alignment is desired.

> 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.

> Advanced Touch Tab

> Advanced page contains an Option and Right click on hold section. Option section has:

- Show right mouse button tool launches this feature for this monitor. See Right Mouse Button for a complete description of this feature.

- Disable Touch stops touch information from reaching Windows for this touchscreen. This feature may also be activated from the Tool Tray utility. Disabling touch has no effect on the operation of the standard mouse.

- Edge Acceleration Tool launches this utility for this monitor. See Edge Acceleration Tool for a complete description of this feature.

Advanced Beam Tab

> - Enable blocked beam monitoring. Enables or disables
>   beam health monitoring.

> - Log failure message to file. Check this box to
>   write any future beam failure messages to a file named:
>   "C:\EloDiags.log"

> - Time in seconds before triggering message. Number of seconds before displaying or logging an error message after a beam failure is detected. This eliminates false alarms, for example, if a user places their hand on the screen for an amount time.

> - Failed beam count before reporting failure. Enter the minimum number of failed beams before a failure message is generated.

> - Duration time for failed beam message. Enter the number of seconds that the failure message will be displayed on the screen. (Duration of the message). The message will repeat again if problem is not corrected.

> Advanced Sound Tab

> This tab only appears for those Carroll Touch screens that have a separate build in beeper. This feature can be used to provide audio feedback of touches in cases where the screen is placed at some distance from the host computer. Use this tab to configure the sound characteristics of the beeper similar to the "Sound" tab on the mail.

> - Beep monitor speaker on touch. Enables/disables the internal beeper.

> - Tone- Adjusts the tone of the touch beep.

> - Duration- Sets the duration of the touch beep.

> Advanced Controller Tab

> This tab only appears for Capacitive Touch screens (5020)

> - 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.
