MT 7• 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
TouchWare vs. MT 7
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.
