System Requirements
The M1700SS Display requires a personal computer (PC). This display will not work
with Apple Macintosh computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
• Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication (COM) port or USB
port. You connect the touch sensor to this port.
• Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed for the display. If
you need to install a video card or a video driver, refer to your computer
documentation for instructions.
• Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to the touch sensor
COM port. The touch sensor cannot share an IRQ with another device.
When choosing your workspace, select a sturdy, level surface. Also, make sure you can
easily access the back of the display and the computer. Easy access helps ensure a
smooth setup of the M1700SS Display.
Note: Before setting up your M1700SS Display, refer to the Important Safety
Information section at the beginning of this document.
