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.

MT 7 Product Strategy

What MT 7 is not:• MT 7 is NOT the drop-in replacement for TouchWare• MT 7 does NOT support SMT3, MT500, MT510,

MT410, or other legacy electronics

TouchWare Customers • Can migrate their applications to MT 7.12 for support

of:– EXII electronics– SC Series electronics

• TouchWare will have maintenance updates only

EXII, SC, DST

Target Markets

MT 7 Top Competitive Selling points

• USB-HID (SC Series, & DST electronics)

• Serial Plug and Play (SC Series, & DST electronics)

• Designed for today’s operating systems….and tomorrow’s.

• Unified driver code– for easier software updates and customer support

• Configurable and Flexible– Load only the modules you want– Highly customizable at the driver level– No need for high level touch application development
