PRODUCT SUMMARY
---------------------------------
MicroTouch(tm) Software HID Calibration Tool is a new member of the
MicroTouch Software Suite. The HID Calibration Tool provides support

98SE, Me, 2000, XP operating systems. This tool works with MicroTouch
controllers that support HID.

---------------------------------
FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
---------------------------------
This is the initial release of the HID calibration tool. This tool
aligns the touch screen with the video display to enhance accuracy.

---------------------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------
Hardware Prerequisites

* This tool runs on most computers that run the Windows 98SE, Me,
  2000, and XP operating systems.
* A MicroTouch SC400, SC500, or SC800 USB touch screen controller is
  required.
* A USB port is required.

Software Prerequisites
* This tool requires either the Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP operating
  system.

---------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------------------
* If you have an older version of touch screen software, uninstall it.
  Reboot the system after uninstalling the software.
* Using Windows Explorer, browse to the software distribution and
  double-click on the Setup program to start the installation. If you
  downloaded the distribution, unzip the file into another directory
  beforehand.
* Follow the instructions given by the Setup program. You may choose
  to customize your installation.

---------------------------------
STARTING CALIBRATION
---------------------------------
* Make sure that the touch screen controller is attached to your
  computer. You should be able to touch the screen and see the cursor
  move. To start calibration, double-click on the calibration icon or
  select the calibration tool from the Start menu.

---------------------------------
TOUCHING THE TARGETS
---------------------------------
* You need to touch a target as each is presented. The tool starts
  collecting samples from the touch screen as soon as you touch the
  target.  Once it collects enough samples, you will hear a beep from
  your system. If you disable sound on your system, you should
  maintain your touch for about four seconds.

* Once you lift off, the tool should proceed to the next target. If
  there is a problem, it will instead issue an error message and exit.
  Note the error and retry calibration. If you touch all the targets,
  the tool will display a message stating the calibration succeeded.

---------------------------------
TYPES OF CALIBRATION
---------------------------------
* The tool detects what type of touch screen controller is attached to
  your system and performs the appropriate calibration. For the SC400
  and SC800 series of controllers, this is a 3-point calibration. For
  the SC500, a 2-point calibration is used.

* If you want to use a 3-point calibration for an SC500 controller,
  you need to use the command line switch "/C3". The simplest way to
  do this is to right-click on the tool's shortcut on the desktop and
  select "Properties". On the "Shortcut" tab, add the "/C3" at the end
  of the "Target" field. You can do the same thing to the tool's entry
  in the Start menu.
