The main purposes of PenMount Resistive
Multi-Finger Touch Solutions are to provide
“Confirmation” and “Safety” without
increasing too much cost. This multi-finger
touch option can allow operators of
industrial equipments apply confirmation
during critical operations, and as a result
can increase the safety of the whole
operation.
The PenMount Multi-Finger Touch Controller
can support different sizes of touch panels;
extra components such as sliding controls
can be added according to customers’ needs.
In this issue of PenMount Bulletin, we would
like to share some of the multiple touch
applications.
-
A control panel with multi-finger touch
is set up in front of a safe deposit
box. Users can enter passwords by
typing on the virtual keyboard, which
can allow user to enter capital
characters or special symbols.
-
A factory that uses robotic arms for
manufacturing can use multi-finger touch
screen to force the operators to use
both their hands during the whole
operation.
-
A DJ (disc jockey) using multi- finger
touch screen for virtual mixer program
with several buttons and functions. The
DJ can then use one hand for function
key, and the other hand for adjusting
music volume.
These designs have adopted the PenMount
multi-finger touch controllers and device
drivers, which breaks the limit of
traditional resistive touch techniques and
introduce new applications to both existing
and new machines. For customers that are
already using PenMount touch solutions,
changing to multi-finger touch solutions
will not require many source code changes,
since the protocol of multi-finger touch
controllers is developed based on the
existing products.
If you are planning to use PenMount
Multi-Finger Touch controller to develop
multiple touch enabled applications, we
recommend that you design each operations on
a single region only. Currently PenMount
provides the Multi-Finger Touch device
driver for Microsoft Windows XP and latter
systems. We also provide SDK (Software
Development Kit) for developers who are
interested in developing application on
Microsoft Windows. If you are developing
multi-touch applications on other platforms
like Linux, QNX or Windows Embedded CE, we
can provide developing manuals. For any
questions, please contact our customer
service for more information.

the market; and if you have any specific
requirements of your own, we would be most
