Chapter 2 Setting Up Your FPD Touch Monitor
25
Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before you can connect your touch monitor, make sure your computer
has a video card already installed for the monitor. After you connect
the monitor, you need to install the video software driver. The video
driver is supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found on
the diskettes that came with your computer.
If you need information on installing a video card or video driver, refer
to the manual that came with your video card.
Supported Video Display Modes and Refresh Rates
Your video card must support one of the display modes specified in
Table 2. If you select an unsupported video mode, the monitor will
stop working or display unsatisfactory picture quality.
The 13.8" and 15.0" Profile and ChassisTouch monitors have a
1024 x 768 flat-panel display. The ideal settings for these monitors are
as follows:
•
Display Mode: 1024 x 768
•
Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
•
Color Depth: at least 16-bit (high color)
The 13.8" and 15.0" FPD monitors also support 800 x 600 (SVGA)
and 640 x 480 (VGA) resolutions. They support these resolutions
primarily for compatibility and monitor setup. Many video cards
initially display a screen image at the SVGA or VGA resolution. By
supporting these resolutions, the monitor can display the desktop
controls that let you change to the optimal resolution of 1024 x 768.
