Universal Driver 4.X (or later) has the following new features:

• Support for AccuTouch five-wire resistive, AT4 four-wire resistive, CarrollTouch infrared, IntelliTouch/iTouch surface acoustic wave and Surface capacitive.
• The Universal driver package is has been localized to support the English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
• To keep the size of the Elo Universal driver default download package to a minimum, the Universal Driver package is provided as two separate packages:

  - Driver Guide
• The Universal Driver Guide is also localized to support the English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The English Driver Guide is included in the default download package. Language specific users guides can be downloaded from http://elotouch.com/Support/Downloads/dnld.asp#notes
• Surface Capacitive calibration has been modified to automatically timeout after 30 seconds if there is no user interaction. Previous versions made five attempts before switching to the next monitor or exiting.
• The initial delay before the right click on hold time out icon appears is configured by a registry value entry. Please see Appendix A for details on how to use this feature.
• If the system does not have a keyboard and mouse connected to it, the disable touch feature cannot be used from the task bar or control panel.
• For Infrared touchmonitors, special support has been added to detect and report blocked beams. The Advanced page for the touchmonitor in the Control Panel is used to configure this feature.
• A special hardware beep configuration feature for Infrared touchmonitors that include this special hardware feature has been added. The Advanced page for the touchmonitor in the Control Panel is used to configure this feature.
• Support for calibration data storage and retrieval from TouchMonitors equipped with Non Volital Ram (support in Normal 3-Point mode only - default selection is Disabled)
• Added 25 point calibration (Enhanced mode) capability to achive greater than 1% linearity.
• Support APR touch monitor with Smartset controller model 7010 (use only one touch target for monitor identification, no calibration required).
• Untouch time out is now user configured in the Elo Control Panel, delay setting from 0 to 1200 seconds, default is 10 seconds.

Universal Driver 4.X (or later) can be preinstalled on a system that has no support for a mouse or HID devices, however, this requires the user to insert the Windows system disk during the installation.

Bug fixes in XPU version 4.8.1:

• Elo Tool Tray may not appear in the task bar with driver pre-installed.
• EloDKmon service may not run correctly.
• Hibernate/Stand By/Sleep supported in Windows Vista.
• Better detection in Beam Detection function on IR screens.   
• Report correct Controller/Touchscreen status in the Elo Properties page.
• Elobus.sys may not work correctly.
• Default installation language (both silent and non-silent) is the current OS language (if supported), otherwise English will be used.
• Detect the correct installation path and COM port number in the non-English Windows.

Bug fixes / changes in XPU version 4.8.3:

• Control Panel - Mode, increase the default double click area.
• Control Panel - Mode, double click area, increase step size of minus/plus buttons to make the rectangle change faster.
• Control Panel - Simplified selection of predefined Edge-Acceleration in the control panel.
• EloSetOptions to set initial default value for "untouched timeout" for all current and future screens.
• Add new Capacitive controller to EloVa alignment app.
• Power Management for IR 4500: Send Q command if enabled in registry. Puts TouchController into power save mode. EloSetup will populate Hkey_Current_User\Software\Elo TouchSystems\EnableIRPowerManagement key to 1 by default. New command line option ( /IRpmoff ) will set to 0 to disable this feature.
• Registry key to enable/disable logging is moved to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Elo Touchsystems\
• EloSetup: Buffer overrun error  was fixed.
• EloSetup: Added new command line option ( /Reboot ) to force reboot during serial driver installation.
• EloSetup: Don't show "PreCalibration" option in GUI. New  command line option ( /PreCal ) added to EloSetup instead.
• Driver will, by default, send the SmartSet M command in order to disable TouchController onboard calibration. EloSetup populates registry with SmartSet M command and driver reads and sends when it starts . A command line switch ( /noreset ) is added to EloSetup to disable this feature.
• New Capacitive TouchScreen PIDs were added to inf files.
• EloSetOptions was corrected for the error in handling Right Click On Hold values.
• Bug fix: ReadMe file can now be read in 64 bit Windows.
• Registry handles leak due to unclosed handles was fixed.
• USB driver: Improved the propagation of driver initiated IO error status up to the HID stack. Makes USB connection more reliable.

 Bug fixes / changes in XPU version 4.8.4:

• Desktop Monitor: Removed hard-coded sending of M-Command on serial port from EloDkMon. Now that this command is being sent from the driver at the request of the setup, there is no need to send this command from DKMon.
• EloSetup: Added a safeguarding for the code to write the M command to the registry. This code always checks if we need to write to the value to registry or not. If the command specifies /Noreset, we remove the value if it exists.
• Adding Portuguese language support.
• Enhanced Video Alignment support on Surface Capacitive monitors with controller model 5020.
