Chapter 2 Installing the Monitor
Follow these steps to connect the monitor to a digital video source.
1. Connect one end of the digital video cable to the female, DVI
video input connector on the monitor.
2. Connect the other cable end to the output of any DVI video
source.
Connecting the Optional Touchscreen Interface
An optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input
system. The driver software included with the monitor allows the
touchscreen to function with many Microsoft Windows-based
industrial applications as a pointing device or mouse.
The RS-232 DB9 (female) D-shell connector on the side panel of the
monitor provides the serial touchscreen interface connection to the
host.
Follow these directions to connect the touchscreen interface.
1. For units with the touchscreen option, connect one end of the
included touchscreen serial cable to the RS-232 port connector
on the monitor.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a serial port on the host
computer.
This port is typically COM2.
3. Tighten the captive screws on the cable connector to secure it.
TIP
For a DVI cable longer than 5 m (10 ft), use a DVI cable
extension.
