2 The USB connection is for directconnection only and does not support USB hubs. Connect the C-moretouch panel to a PC via an Ethernet hub or switch, and CAT5 Ethernetcables (full feature panels only). Multiple panels can be programmed in this configuration. Use an Ethernet crossover cable directly between the C-moretouch panel s Ethernet port andthe PC Ethernet port (full feature panels only).Following are the minimum system requirements for running C-moreProgrammingSoftware (p/n EA-PGMSW) on a PC: Personal Computer with a 333 MHz or higher processor (CPU) clock speed recommended;Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor rec-ommended Keyboard and Mouse or compatible pointing device Super VGA color video adapter and monitor with at least 800 x 600 pixels resolution(1024 x 768 pixels recommended) 64K color minimum 300 MB free hard-disk space 128 MB free RAM (512 MB recommended).

3 512 MB free RAM (1 GB recommended) for Vista CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing Software from the CD USB port or Ethernet 10/100 Mbps port for project transfer from Software to touch panel(Ethernet port not available on -R models) Operating System - Windows Vista, Windows XP Home / Professional Edition or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.

9 Similar to Visual Basic ,the property list dialog box allows power users to quicklyconfigure or makechanges to C-moreobjects. Perfect for anarray of similar objects,just copy one objectseveral times and thenuse the property box tomake a few multiple objectsand change all of them atonce. Common proper-ties of different types ofobjects can even beedited simultaneously,such as background ortext color.
