How do I install it?

  1. Unzip the files into the Tools directory on the TMCU.
  2. Move Timeout1.Shl to the application directory.
  3. Using Editnet, set the Upon Timeout Do option in Local Options to Timeout1.SHL.  Note that each node has a separate set of Local Options, so repeat as needed.
  4. If the speed of the image is too fast or too slow, edit BounceIt.Bat and change the value of the BounceSlow parameter as necessary.

How does it work?
When the screensaver starts, the shell calls the BounceIt batch file, which sets the environment variables and runs the Bounce executable.  Bounce will continue to run until the screen is touched (Mouse Click) or a key is pressed. Then it will exit and return to TouchPro.

The following is a list of environment variables that may be used to alter the behavior of Bounce.
Variable Default Value
BounceTall 150
BounceWide 300
BouncePCX Bounce.EXE
BounceSlow 0

To slow the speed of the animation, run a batch file, or place in the Autoexec.bat the following statement:
            Set BounceSlow=200

How do I make my own image?
You can provide your own PCX, just make sure it is a 640 by 480 pixel image, with only 256 colors. Place your logo on a solid background (usually black) and in the upper left hand corner. The Logo must be no bigger than 300×150. Then set the BounceTall and BounceWide variables to indicate its size. Use the BouncePCX to specify the filename.
