Configuring UPDD version 2 touchscreen drivers

Top  Previous  Next

The UPDD configuration utility has the following windows:

 

UPDD_v2_1

 

As the UPDD version 2 drivers don't support multiple monitors properly, set the touchscreen to 'Whole Desktop'. (Touchscreen_1 is the genuine touchscreen in this example.)

 

UPDD_v2_2

 

COM port settings should match the hardware configuration.

 

UPDD_v2_3

 

UPDD_v2_4

 

UPDD_v2_5

 

These settings are relevant. You probably don't want anything too fancy from your touchscreen; detecting when a finger (or nose) is on or off the screen is probably simplest and best. So the primary and secondary event should simply be 'Touchdown Left'.

 

UPDD_v2_6

 

UPDD_v2_7

 

UPDD_v2_8

 

UPDD_v2_9

 

You will need to calibrate your touchscreen. Once you've configured it for the 'whole desktop', come here and click 'Calibrate'. You'll be presented (on the primary monitor) with a white screen with arrows on; touch the arrows as it asks to calibrate the touchscreen.

 

UPDD_v2_10

 

Though it would be nice if the 'reset' and 're-initialize' buttons did something useful – like getting rid of the infernal beeping that comes out of the UPDD driver every so often and has no effect on the touchscreen's function – they don't.
