Compliance
Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference
Regulations
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.
FCC/DOC Warnings
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department
of Communications (DOC).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the
FCC Rules.
Class A
Federal Communications Commission
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference
at their own expense.
Canadian Department of Communications
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
Compliance with EU Directives
Users in the European Union (EU) should refer to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for information* pertaining to the
CE marking. Refer to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for this product for any additional regulatory compliance
information. To obtain the DoC for this product, visit ni.com/certification, search by model number or product line,
and click the appropriate link in the Certification column.

General Information
This chapter includes an overview of the FPT-1015 human machine
interface (HMI).
Introduction
The FPT-1015 is a 15 in. color TFT LCD flat panel monitor for industrial
applications. With the optional touchscreen, this monitor is a user-friendly
system control interface and can be easily transformed into a remote
control system.
In addition to its usual application as an LCD panel monitor, the FPT-1015
includes a Direct VGA control signal input, making it compatible with
industrial PCs and workstations.
The onscreen display (OSD) function allows you to adjust the display and
turn the backlight on and off.
The chassis is made of durable steel. The front panel is made of Al-Mg with
NEMA4/IP65 compliance.
Connectors
The FPT-1015 includes the following connectors.
VGA Port (DB15)
You can connect the FPT-1015 to a system via the external 15-pin DB-15
connector.
Note Before connecting a VGA cable between the FPT-1015 and a PC, be sure the vertical
frequency is within the acceptable range if you have installed an operating system on the
PC. If you have not installed an operating system, adjust the vertical frequency to fall
within the range.

Touchscreen
This appendix explains how to install and configure the FPT-1015
touchscreen.
Introduction
The FPT-1015 touchscreen uses advanced 8-wire resistive technology,
providing more accurate sensing capacity than other technologies. The
touchscreen is specially designed for tough industrial environments.
Installing the Driver for Windows
The touchscreen driver is on the driver CD included with the FPT-1015.
To install the driver, locate the Windows Driver V4.1.1008folder. Run
setup.exein that folder and follow the installation instructions.
Configuring the Touchscreen
After you install the touchscreen driver, the FPT-1015 automatically finds
the new touchscreen controller board on rebooting. The touchscreen is
connected, but not calibrated. Follow these steps to start calibration:
1. After installation and rebooting, click the PenMount Monitor pm icon
in the menu bar and select Control Panel.
2. When the PenMount Control Panel appears, click Calibrate.
PenMount Control Panel
The PenMount Control Panel functions are Calibrate, Multiple Monitors,
Setting, PenMount Rotating Functions, Tools, and About.
Calibrate
The Calibrate function includes two ways to calibrate your touchscreen.
Standard calibration adjusts most touchscreens. Advanced calibration
adjusts aging touchscreens.

Touchscreen
Standard Calibration
When you click this button, arrows
appear pointing to red squares. Use your
finger or stylus to touch the red squares in
sequence. After you touch the fifth red
square, calibration is complete. To skip,
press <Esc>.
Note To access the Advanced Calibration option, go to the Tools tab and select Advanced
Calibration.
Advanced Calibration
Advanced calibration uses 4, 9, 16, or
25 points to effectively calibrate the
linearity of aged touchscreens. Click
this button and touch the red squares in
sequence with a stylus. To skip, press
<Esc>.
Note The older the touchscreen, the more advanced calibration points you need for
accurate calibration. Use a stylus during advanced calibration for greater accuracy.
Plot Calibration Data
When you select this function, a touch
panel linearity comparison graph appears
after you finish advanced calibration.
The blue lines show linearity before
calibration, and black lines show linearity
after calibration.
Multiple Monitors
The Multiple Monitors function supports two to six touchscreen displays
for one system. Each monitor requires its own PenMount touchscreen
control board, installed inside the display or in a central unit. You must
connect the control boards to the computer COM ports via the RS232
interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as for a single
monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:
•
•
•
Windows Extend Monitor function
Matrox DualHead multiscreen function
nVidia nView function
Note The Multiple Monitors function is for multiple displays only. Do not use this
function with only one touchscreen display.

2. Click Map Touch Screens to assign touch controllers to the displays.
3. When the mapping screen message appears, click OK.
4. Touch each screen as it displays Please touch this monitor.
Following this sequence and touching each screen is called mapping
the touchscreens.
5. Touching all screens completes the mapping, and the desktop
reappears on the monitors.
6. Select a display and execute the Calibration function. A message to
start calibration appears. Click OK.
7. Touch this screen to start its calibrationappears on
one of the screens. Touch the screen.
8. Touch the red squaremessages appear. Touch the red squares in
sequence.
9. Continue calibration for each monitor by clicking Standard
Calibration and touching the red squares.
Note If you use a single VGA output for multiple monitors, do not use the Multiple
Monitors function. Follow the regular procedure for calibrating each monitor.
The rotating function is disabled if you use the Multiple Monitors function.
If you change the display resolution or screen address, you must map the touchscreens
again so the system understands where the displays are.
