Agenda MicroTouch Software Suite overview TouchWare, MT 7 MT7 product strategy
MicroTouch™ Software Suite: MT 7 “MT 7” = “MicroTouch™ Software Driver 7” The “MicroTouch ™ Software Suite” of software products includes: MT 7 for Window 2000/XP MT 7 for Linux Touchware 5.64 SR5 USB TouchWare for Linux MT 7 for XPe TouchWare for WinCE.NET Microcal 7.4 TouchWare 5.64 SR5 serial USB-HID 2d Scan utility DOSTouch
TouchWare vs. MT 7 MT 7 TouchWare EXII based ClearTek and ClearTek II MT 7 is the new “common platform” EXII based ClearTek and ClearTek II SC Series Resistive DST Unified core driver for USB, HID, Serial, and Serial Plug and Play interface and supported operating systems Driver and application code structured for easier maintenance and support MT 7 is designed to support today’s latest operating systems and interfaces…..and tomorrow’s TouchWare Developed in 1997 A series of separate drivers for Serial USB PS2 95/98, Win2k, NT, WinCE.NET, Linux Difficult to maintain
MT 7 Product Strategy Foundation for new technologies MT7 is the “common touch system element” for EXII based ClearTek I & II, SC Series Resistive DST technologies. “Unified core driver” for USB, HID and Serial interface and supported operating systems Driver and application code structured for easier customer support MT7 is designed to support today’s latest operating systems…..and tomorrow’s
MT 7 Product Strategy Deploy the same features across all operating systems Makes the addition of new controller support easy I.e., next gen EXII controllers ! Make all controllers technologies work together and support their special features EXII, DST, SC Series Support for Serial, USB, HID interfaces
MT 7 Product Strategy MT 7 for all new ClearTek, ClearTek II, Resistive, and DST touch opportunities Allow Sales team to support ALL new 3M Touch system products using a common 3M Touch Systems driver. Commonality of software driver setup 3M sales/technical common product knowledge
MT 7 SW Architecture – Why it’s important MT 7 Architecture Isolated operating system dependent code Isolated interface dependent code Isolated controller dependent code Isolated features Supports the expansion and evolution of the code The goal of the isolation is to increase the amount of common code. Common code has the advantage of being portable to any operating system. This design applies to both drivers and applications.
