Configuring the Video Setup

Chapter Objective

This section describes how to:

• Set the monitor type
• Check and change the video resolution
• Install drivers, if necessary
• Adjust your monitor

Setting the Monitor Type

RAC6185 Industrial Flat Panel Monitor (6185-F) are Plug and Play compliant
devices. If you are using Windows® 95, Windows 98 or Windows 2000, and if
your video card supports it, you should enable your workstation to detect Plug
and Play monitors. Your workstation will automatically set your 6185-F
monitor type, and further setup should not be required.

If your video card does not support Plug and Play, or if you are using
Windows NT®, you should set the monitor type manually.

The possible monitor types are:

• “Plug and Play Monitor” for 6185-F monitors with a Plug and Play

enabled system

• “Super VGA 1024x768” for 6185-F monitors that are set up manually

TIP

If your video card does support Plug and Play, but it does
not appear as if your monitor type has been set properly
(i.e. the screen image is too large or small, or is otherwise
distorted), your should set the monitor type manually.

IMPORTANT

While these monitors use a flat panel display, they use the
workstation's analog VGA interface. Because of this, some
setup screens may indicate that the monitor is operating as
a CRT (analog) device, rather than a flat panel (digital)
device.
