Abstract
A method and apparatus for associating components within a touch monitor comprising a monitor and a touchscreen which are interconnected with one another. A first data value is stored in a memory interconnected with the monitor, and a second data value is stored in the memory which is interconnected with the touchscreen. The first and second data values are used to identify a unique relationship between the monitor and the touchscreen. When the first and second data values are read and compared, it is determined whether the monitor and the touchscreen are associated with one another based on the first and second data values.
