Installation 2-11
Connecting a Host Video Source
The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female)
connector. For specifications on a HD-15 video cable, see Appendix C, Video
Cables on page C-1.
To establish a signal using the HD-15 connector:
1. Connect one end of the included six-foot video cable to the female
HD-15 video input connector.
2. Connect the other end to the output of any IBM-compatible VGA
adapter or other video generator.
Connecting the Optional Touchscreen Interface
The optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input system.
Driver software included with the package allows the touchscreen to function
with many popular DOS and Windows® -based industrial applications as a
pointing device (i.e. mouse).
The serial touchscreen interface connection to the host is made through an
RS-232 DE-9 (female) D-shell connector located on the side panel.
TIP
You can use longer cables (up to 50 feet at lower
resolutions), provided they are properly constructed.
TIP
You may connect the monitor to a video generator that
does not conform to VGA standards, as long as the
generator provides analog RGB video signals (0.714V
above reference black into 75 ohms) and separate
horizontal and vertical sync signals.
TIP
Refer to Appendix B, Touchscreen Serial Interface on
page B-1 for additional details on the installation and
operation of the touchscreen.
