Connect to a Digital Video Source
All monitors support digital video. Use a digital video cable to connect a computer
to the DVI connector on the monitor. This cable is not supplied, but can be
purchased as an accessory.
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 digital 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 such 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 steps to connect monitors with the touchscreen interface option.
1. 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.
