3M MicroTouch TouchPen™ System
for ClearTek II Touch Screens

The MicroTouch™ TouchPen System extends the input flexibility of MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II capacitive touch screens by supporting both finger touch and pen input. MicroTouch™ TouchPen’s tethered stylus offers handwriting recognition, signature capture, and on-screen annotation capabilities. It is an excellent solution for applications with dense menus or with detailed images too small to touch with a finger.

The MicroTouch™ TouchPen system can be set up in dual mode (pen or finger touch input) or pen-only mode. In dual mode, the touch screen accepts touch from both the tethered pen or from a user’s finger for ease of use in a multitude of point-of-sale signature capture applications. In pen mode, while accepting input from only the pen, all other input is ignored – supporting palm rejection in a very sophisticated manner.

Making the Difference
The MicroTouch TouchPen System is based on the MicroTouch™ EX II 3700SP, a serial RS232 controller, which takes advantage of the EX II ASIC electronics platform. The EX II 3700SP controller offers a wide operating temperature range, high touch resolution, expanded regulatory approvals, improved ESD and EMI reliability. Adding to its application flexibility, the EX II 3700SP offers the capability to upgrade its firmware, even after installation and deployment.
