CONNECTIONS & SETUP
Setup Process for Touch Panel
Complete Cabling Step 3 in Connections & Setup and then Proceed.
Step 1
- Download and Install RS232 over USB drivers
Z Microsystem’s touch panel driver communicates to a host computer via a RS232 over USB bridge. In
order to communicate with the touch panel, you must rst install the FTDI RS232-USB bridge driver from
the following link:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
OR
http://www.zmicro.com/downloads/drivers.html
An Installation guide and additional drivers for various operating systems are also available from the FTDI
website.
Once installed, the driver will assign two Virtual Communication Ports (VCP) when the display is connected
to the host computer via the USB Type B cable. The rst Virtual Comm. Port is for serial communication to
the display controller. The second VCP is assigned to the touch panel control.
Step 2 - Download and Install Microchip TSHARC Touch Panel driver
Once the RS232 over USB drivers are installed from Step 1 above, procee to download the touch panel
drivers from the following link:

Required Cables/Connectors
• USB Type B interface connector
Preparations
In preparation to setting up the touch panel
functionality on the IDS, turn off the electrical
power to your computer.
Required Software & Drivers
• FTDI RS232-USB Bridge Driver
• Microchip TSHARC Touch Panel Driver
Touch Screen setup
Z Microsystems IDS Displays offer a touch screen interface option with Resistive Touch technology.
The displays utilize a Microchip ‘TSHARC’ touch screen controller chip and communicate with a host
computer using serial commands via the USB Type B physical interface. Z Microsystems electrical
architecture uses the same USB port to both upload rmware and communicate to the resistive
touch panel display.
To access the IDS touch screen functionality, the USB bridge and Microchip ‘TSHARC’ Touch Panel
drivers must both be installed on a host computer. Additionally, a USB cable must remain connected
between the host computer and the Z Microsystem’s display for ongoing communication.
Copies of the necessary drivers can be found on the Installation Disc provided with your IDS display,
as well as using the provided links in the following setup guide. A list of the latest driver versions and
links to manufacturer’s websites can also be found at Z Microsystem’s website.
