Utility Software Versions
NextWindow USB products do not require special software or drivers to run; the touch screen communicates directly with the computer’s operating system via the USB interface. However, an optional USB Configuration program that allows you to change various default settings is available in the Touch+ software suite. Touch+ also provides a driver and configuration program for serial applications (a serial interface is available on the 2403 Touch Panel Overlay).
