CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Flat Panel Displays
The 3M Touch Systems offers the 3M^TM MicroTouch™ M1700SS Display for desktop and countertop applications with built-in multimedia options. The display is available with 3M Touch System's surface capacitive touch sensor. Surface capacitive is the touch sensor of choice for public access applications requiring high levels of durability and reliable performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Figure 1. The M1700SS Display Monitor

natural_image

The new M1700SS Display features an innovative design adjustable to approximately 90^ off the vertical to accommodate different counter and user heights, a positive locking mechanism, a touch sensor interface, several mounting options, and built-in cable management.
The M1700SS Display also features a space saving design, high resolution, low radiation, and low power consumption. These qualities make the M1700SS Display ideal for applications that require superior color, resolution, and clarity.
The M1700SS Display is a 17" diagonal sensor size using active-matrix thin-film transistor (AM-TFT) liquid crystal display technology. The M1700SS Display supports a full-screen resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Note: The M1700SS Display has a power LED as well as four buttons for using the on-screen menu and adjusting the video display. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on these controls.
Native Video Resolution on a Flat Panel Display
Flat panel displays, unlike CRTs, are optimized to run at one resolution. A flat panel display has discrete points that determine the exact location of a pixel. Each flat panel display has an exact number of pixels associated with it. There is a one-to-one mapping between the number of pixels and the video resolution.
A flat panel display should be used at the resolution dictated by the number of pixels on the panel for optimum performance. For example, the M1700SS Display has 1280 pixels across the screen and 1024 lines of pixels down the screen and can accurately display this resolution at full screen.
Options for Using Other Video Resolutions
The M1700SS Display supports all standard resolutions up to their respective native resolution for display setup. Refer to Table 1 for additional details. Many video cards initially display a screen image at the SVGA or VGA resolution. By supporting these resolutions, the monitor can display the desktop controls that let you change to the optimal resolution of 1280 x 1024.
CHAPTER 2
Setting Up Your M1700SS Display
This chapter describes how to set up and integrate your 3M ^TM MicroTouch ^TM M1700SS Display into a touch application system. You need to complete the following tasks:
- Unpack the components
- Connect the video and power cables to your computer
●Power on the display and test your setup - Install the touch software then connect the touch sensor cable

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.

- Make sure the video image is centered within the sensor area. Use the display controls to adjust the image, if necessary. Perform an Auto Config first, then if you wish you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to better suit your video card and your personal preference. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on using the on-screen menu to adjust the video display.
Installing Touch Software
A 3M ^™ MicroTouch ^™ touch driver is required to operate your M1700SS Display. To enhance your touch experience, refer to the MT 7 Software User Guide for complete instructions. These drivers and relevant technical documentation can be found on the enclosed 3M Touch Solutions CD (31197) and are also available for download from our website at www.3m.com/touch. After the software is installed, restart your computer to load and activate the touch driver.
The Touch Solutions CD includes the touch driver and control panel that enable your touch sensor to work with your computer. When you install the CD included with your display, MT 7 Software will be automatically loaded on your system. MT 7 software provides touch drivers for Windows ^™ Vista, Windows ^™ XP, and Windows ^™ 2000.
For older systems, software is provided on the CD – select the Browse CD option to enable you to load legacy touch software for Windows ^TM NT 4.0, Windows ^TM 95 or 98, or Windows ^TM Me. Because these are legacy systems, make sure to install the TouchWare software before connecting the USB touch sensor cable to your system.
To complete the setup of your touch display, make sure you calibrate the touch sensor.
