Operating the Monitor
CD Software and Utilities
The CD included with this monitor contains two files you can install
on your computer:
■ An INF (information) file
■ An ICM (Image Color Matching) file
This CD also contains the auto-adjustment utility. This single pattern
program helps improve the picture quality of your VGA input
monitor. See “Using the Auto-Adjustment Function” in this chapter.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is supplied on the CD and can be installed
from the menu.
The Information File
This monitor is Windows Plug and Play compatible, and the
monitor will work correctly without installing the INF file. The
INF file enables the computer to communicate with the monitor and
use all the monitor features. The INF file defines monitor resources
used by Microsoft Windows
® operating systems to ensure monitor
compatibility with your computer’s graphics adapter.
Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s
graphics card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor
connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does
not work through separate BNC-type connectors or through
distribution buffers or boxes. You may have to install the INF
file from the CD if these conditions are not met.
