Our new Auto-Install CD provides drivers for both Serial and USB versions of the ViP Interactive Foil. The latest version of the driver is MA7-87. Changes include:
- Right-click mouse function after 5-6 seconds of holding your finger to the screen
- Auto Run and Auto Installation functions
- Installation Videos
- Quick Start Installation Guides
- Branding Instructions
What is being delivered and why?
The number of MA7 Drivers has now increased due to the upgrading of the foil’s construction. The type of driver is dependant on whether you specify a side or a bottom tail position. To make this an easier transition we have developed an auto-install CD containing all the drivers and documentation you will require. The Quick Start guides have also been updated to provide information about how the auto run and auto install functions will work. Please follow these documents when first receiving the new versions of the ViP Interactive Foils.
Structure of the CD
The CD menu has 5 drivers. Primarily drivers 0, 2, and 3 will be the most commonly used. Drivers 4 and 5 are for special long narrow foils:
- “0″ for our legacy 08 system foils both 16:9 and 4:3 format
- “2″ for the new 09 system bottom tail foils both 16:9 and 4:3 format
- “3″ for the 09 system side tail both 16:9 and 4:3 format
- “4″ for the 09 system bottom tail long narrow foils 16:30 format above 30”
- “5″ for the 09 system side tail narrow foils 16:30 format above 30”
We have provided an Auto Install Guide which discusses the implications of the CD Layout and locations of the key files.
Can it be branded?
Yes the MA7 drivers within the auto install CD and the documentation can be customised as before.
The files in the Drivers’ folders must not have their names or locations changed otherwise the auto install process will not take place. You may of course add/modify/remove the files in the “ViP Documentation” folder. Full instructions will be provided. Please note, the legacy Branding Guide has now been updated to cater for the new changes required.
How does it work?
Select the correct driver as instructed in the documentation supplied with the foil. The correct driver will also be labelled on the foil’s electronic control board, the foil’s tail, and the foil’s part number. If there is no driver number identification on the foil or on the controller board then please use Driver 0, our legacy driver.
Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the driver’s installation, bringing up the familiar MA7 control programme. You will then follow the normal calibration and sensitivity setup. To confirm which driver you have installed select the “Help” tab in MA7 and click on “About”.
If you have rebranded this part of the driver then please maintain the driver number information. Please note that you must retain all reference to the foil’s driver number if the electronic control board cover is removed or if the packaging is discarded.
