This article explains how to change the beep options in the Elo driver using EloOptions.ini

“Beep on Touch” is a setting in which a “beep” sound is generated on contact with the monitor. The user will have the option to enable or disable each of the following settings independently:

• External Speaker - Plays a beep through an external speaker. If user enables the “Use custom sound file” option, he/she will be given the option to choose a personal *.wav file to be played instead of the beep.
• Motherboard Beeper - Plays a beep through the internal motherboard speaker. With this option selected, the user will be given the option to modify the beep’s “Tone” and “Duration” through two independent separate slider bars.

You can change or disable the beep setting by using EloDriverDefaults.exe, see below:

Change Beep Options Using Touch configuration utility: EloDriverDefaults.exe
EloDriverDefaults is a console utility to be used by administrators to enforce certain touch properties for Elo touch monitors. This tool must be used after Elo touch package has been installed. The utility will read EloOptions.ini as its input. To open the EloOptions.ini for editing, the user must run Notepad as admin and then open the EloOptions.ini located in the installation folder, namely C:\Program Files\Elo Touch Systems\EloOptions.ini.

Purpose of the tool
When new touch monitors are connected to a system, they can start functioning with certain default properties as defined under section name [Device Default] in EloOptions.ini.

Beep options: User can specify sound source of beep (touch alert) or no sound at all:

• Beep off (0)
• Beep from motherboard beeper (1)
• Beep from external speaker (2)
• Beep from both beeper and speaker (3)

Please refer to the Elo Touch Driver User Manual for more information on using this setting.
