Industrial 15" Flat Panel Monitor
15
Publication 6185-5.1
The 6185-C Flat Panel Monitor is configured at the factory, but typically
requires initial adjustments to ensure the best screen image. Rockwell
Automation provides the Flat Panel Monitor Adjustment Utility with
each flat panel monitor to assist you in adjusting the monitor settings.
Workstation Setup
There are two important aspects of your workstation setup that affect the
screen image of the 6185-C Flat Panel Monitor:
•
Monitor type
•
Video resolution
•
Video refresh rate
You need to verify that your workstation is using the appropriate settings
for these before you begin to adjust the monitor itself.
Note:
You verify and change these settings for your workstation
using the Windows Control Panel. Select the Start button
and select Settings to access Control Panel. In Control
Panel, select Display to access monitor settings. The
options on the Control Panel screens may vary depending
on your video driver.
Monitor Type
If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98 and your video card
supports it, you should enable your workstation to detect Plug & Play
monitors and select Plug and Play as the monitor type. To access these
settings from Control Panel, select the Settings tab and select either
Change Display Type or Advanced Properties. Windows will detect the
flat panel monitor and configure your workstation with the appropriate
settings.
If your video card does not support Plug and Play, or if you are using
Windows NT, you should select “Super VGA 1024x768” from the list of
standard monitor types.
Note:
This monitor has a flat panel display, but it uses 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.
Video Resolution
Flat panel monitors are fixed resolution devices and the image looks best
when operated at their native resolution. If you switch the resolution of
this monitor from 1024x768 resolution, the display may look slightly
distorted due to replication techniques to display the full screen.
