Step 3. Choose the "Settings" button.
Step 4. Adjust the settings as desired. You may change the "Use pictures in this folder" option to point to your own
directory on the D:\ drive. Place any images in that folder you want to see when your screen saver is active.
Step 5. Press "OK."
Step 6. Press "OK" in the "Display Properties" dialog box.
Note: To change the power scheme for the monitor (auto power off), use the "Monitor Power Saver"
button (shown right). Do not choose the "Power" button in the "Screen Saver" properties box, as
users will not have the proper permission to change the screen saver.
ELO Touchscreens
The PALETTE processor supports the use of a touchscreen monitor. Due to mouse driver requirements, only ELO
Touchscreens should be used. ELO touchscreens can be purchased from your local Strand Lighting dealer
The AccuTouch 3000 series models are recommended, since they feature resistive technology (i.e. you can point with
objects other than your finger such as a pen, etc.) Purchase the USB type, NOT the serial type.
Once you purchase your touchscreens (PALETTE will support up
to two), you will need to download and install ELO drivers from
www.strandlighting.com. After you have installed the drivers, you
will need to calibrate the screens. To do this, choose "ELO Touch
Calibration" from the Control Panel "Additional Apps" button.
This dialog box will allow you to change various options for the
touchscreens, most importantly, the calibration. To do this, use the
mouse to touch the "Align" button. The screen should go white and
you will be presented with a red target to touch. Do this with your
finger from a typical viewing angle. You will repeat this two more
times, then choose "OK" to exit.
