Extended Touch Solutions
The MicroTouch ClearTek II TouchPen System extends the input
flexibility of MicroTouch ClearTek II capacitive touch screens by
supporting both touch and pen input. TouchPen’s tethered stylus offers
handwriting recognition, signature capture, and on-screen annotation
capabilities. It is an excellent solution for applications with dense menus or
with detailed images too small to touch with a finger.

Flexible Input Modes
The TouchPen system can be set up in dual mode (pen or finger touch
input) or pen-only mode.
In dual mode, the touch screen accepts touch from both the tethered
pen or from a user’s finger for ease of use in a multitude of point-of-sale
signature capture applications. In dual mode, while accepting input from
the pen, all other input is ignored – supporting palm rejection in a very
sophisticated manner.
In pen-only mode, only pen inputs are accepted, making it an ideal
solution for applications where unintended touches may create problems.
Making the Difference
The TouchPen System is based on the MicroTouch EX II 3700SP, a serial
RS232 controller, which takes advantage of the EX II ASIC electronics
platform. The EX II 3700SP controller offers a wide operating temperature
range, high touch resolution, expanded regulatory approvals, improved
ESD and EMI reliability. Adding to its application flexibility, the EX II 3700SP
offers the capability to upgrade its firmware, even after installation and
deployment.
