This article explains how to automate running the EloConfig.exe clean screen feature

There is a way to set EloConfig.exe to execute the disable touch and clean screen function when it is loaded. This is done by making changes to the EloOptions.ini file. (Does not require a reinstall)

Instructions can be found in the EloOptions.ini file located in C:\Program Files\Elo Touch Solutions.
 

[EloConfig Startup Options]
;
; Parameters specified under this ini section will be read by EloConfig.exe each time it starts.
; An example usage of this section is for a company to enforce unified operations supported by 
; Elo driver package. As for now (v7.0.1), only clean screen operation are covered under this ini 
; section. 
; 
; 
; * * * Steps to utilize this section with remote operations * * *
;
; (1) The user should edit this ini with desired choices, see below on specifying parameters for 
;     clean screen operations. 
;
; (2) The user should remotely stop EloConfig.exe on all running clients. Correct way to stop
;     EloConfig.exe is to terminate it with Windows TaskMan. Closing EloConfig.exe UI          will not
;     terminate the app (it would keep running in the background).
;
; (3) Copy the updated ini into Elo driver's installation folder, typically it is:
;     C:\Program Files\Elo Touch Solutions\
;
; (4) Using Windows scheduler to start the EloConfig using task name "StartEloConfig". This will
;     start EloConfig with admin's privilege which is required for EloConfig to function as
;     designed. 
; 
; 
; * * * Five parameters for clean screen operation * * *
;
; (1) SectionEnabledEnabled (0|1): 
;
;     0: EloConfig.exe will not read this section at startup. This is the default. 
;     1: EloConfig.exe will read and apply the values specified at startup.
;
; (2) CleanScreen_LaunchMethod (0|1|2|3, same as enum definitions used by driver):
;
;     0: Notification is Disabled, there will be no prompt for clean screen.
;     1: Time elapsed in minutes. Valid range is from 0.1 to 240 hours.
;     2: Corner touch: touch 4 corners quickly (within 2 seconds) clockwise to invoke cleaning
;        session.
;     3: Double-finger drag: user can invoke cleaning session by double-finger drag anywhere
;        on the screen for minimum of 1/3 second and across 1/3 of the screen.
;
; (3) CleanScreen_HoursElapsed (0.1 - 240 hours)
;
;     Each time the specified time (in hours) passed, the cleaning session will be launched. 
;     Valid range is from 0.1 hour to 240 hours.
;
; (4) CleanScreen_CornerTouch (0|1)
;
;     Cleaning session can be invoked by quick touching 4 corners clockwise with in 2 seconds,
;     starting at top-left corner. The corner touch area is about 1/5 of the screen size
;     (1/5 width x 1/5 height).; 
;
; (5) CleanScreen_TouchOption (0|1|2, same as enum definations used by driver):
;
;     0: Keep touch functioning as is. In this case the user will do a double-tap anywhere 
;        in the screen to exit the cleaning session.
;     1: Disable touch: Elo driver will not report touch events to the OS during cleaning
;        session. In this case, the user will need to specify the timeout period for the
;        cleaning session. 
;     2: Disable the controller: in this case, the touch controller will be disabled during
;        the cleaning session. The user needs to specify a timeout value.
;
; (6) CleanScreen_Timeout (10-120 seconds):
; 
;     Used when touch is disabled (CleanScreen_TouchOption is 1 or 2). This value specify how long 
;     in seconds the cleaning session will last. Valid range is from 10 to 120 seconds. At end of
;     the timeout, the user will hear a fast triple-beep to remind the user that the current
;     cleaning session is about to end.          
;
; (7) CleanScreen_BeepAtSessionEnd (0|1)
;
;     0: No sound alarm at end of a cleaning session.
;     1: EloConfig will sound a triple-beep 3 seconds before a cleaning session terminates.  
;
; (8) CleanScreen_Instructions (string):
;
;     This is a string value for user to display any cleaning instructions to the field operator.
;     Max length is 256 chars.
