There are many options to consider when installing the driver files. This section will explain the most common ways that the driver is installed. Consult Elo Applications Engineering for situations not covered in this section.

Installing the APR Drivers

The APR driver automatically detects the appropriate controller for installation. APR only works:

  1. Run the self-extracting zip file to unzip the files.

  3. Check the Install USB Touchscreen Drivers box.

Note: The Install Serial Touchscreen Drivers option is not available for APR monitors.

When a new APR monitor is first installed on a PC, you may see the following dialog box while the driver is reading the information from the sensor. This process may take up to 4 minutes before touch begins to work.

          

  1. Review and accept the License Agreement.

  2. The Hardware Wizard dialog box may open. Follow the Wizard to complete the installation.

  3. The driver files will install. When the Setup Complete screen appears, click on Finish. Video alignment is not required.
