Which Target Do I Select for NI TPC-2006, NI TPC-2012, NI TPC-2106/TPC-2106T, NI TPC-2512, and Third-Party TPCs?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Touch Panel Module
Primary Software Version: 8.6
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Which target do I select for NI TPC-2006, NI TPC-2012, NI TPC-2106/TPC-2106T, NI TPC-2512 and third-party TPCs under the Target and Devices option for my LabVIEW Touch Panel project?

Solution:
You must select a target device option when building a LabVIEW Touch Panel project, although the choice of target depends on which hardware your application is designed for. Before you build a Touch Panel application, you must install the Touch Panel Module and any required Microsoft tools.

The following tables include the available target device options for the operating system and the corresponding Touch Panel device and processor.
