3. Monitor Settings
Not all video controllers produce exactly the same video output levels or the same timing. The
following procedure can be used to select the desired video mode as well as optimize your
monitor’s image quality. When adjusting your monitor, the use of video test software such as
DisplayMate for Windows by SONERA Technologies can be very beneficial.
The SXT2011 automatically adjusts to most incoming video signals. Usually, only brightness,
contrast and phase need to be adjusted by the user. “On Screen Programming” helps make
setup and adjustment of these settings easy. The menus are selected and the menu items are
adjusted using the buttons located on the monitor’s front panel. These buttons are enabled or
disabled by a rocker switch labeled “SET UP” located on the side of the monitor. This feature is
provided to inhibit tampering once the monitor is in actual use. Turn the SET UP switch to the
‘On’ position to enable set up and adjustment. If you are using a “Plug and Play” operating
system adjust your desktop display settings to the following before connecting the SXT2011 to
your computer:
Vertical Refresh:
60 Hz
Resolution:
1280 x 1024
If you are using a “Plug and Play” operating system, the monitor type and default settings are
automatically detected by the operating system. If you are not using “Plug and Play”, set your
monitor type to:
Manufacture:
(Standard monitor type)
Model:
Super VGA 1290 x 1024 @ 60 Hz
Vertical Refresh:
60 Hz
Resolution:
1280 x 1024
