How do I find out how many simultaneous touch points my touch monitor detects?

Multi-touch gestures is a feature of the Operating System and software/application that’s being used in conjunction with a touch monitor that’s capable of detecting 2 or more simultaneous touch points.

Mac OS and Windows XP only supports single-touch and as such does not have multi-touch gesture support. Windows 7, 8 and 10 supports multi-touch gestures.

In Windows 7, the Pen and Touch feature which houses the “Enable multi-touch gestures and inking” setting can be viewed by going to START > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Pen and Touch. A quicker way would be to search for “Pen and Touch”

How do I setup 2 or more touch monitors integrated with an IDSPulse touchscreen on one windows computer?

Before going through the steps below are a couple of info regarding this setup.

  • The multi-monitor setup would only work in Windows OS
  • Also, the multi-monitor setup would only work in extended desktop and not in stretched desktop.
