Chapter 3: Operation
About TouchmonitorAdjustments
There will most likely be no need to be adjust your touchmonitor. However, variations in video
output and application may require adjustments to optimize display quality.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in its native resolution, 1280 x
1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to select the 1280 x 1024
resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This feature saves you
from having to reset your choices every time you unplug or power your touchmonitor off and
on. If there is a power failure, your touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory
specifications.

Preset Modes
To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default
setting modes that are most commonly used as given in the table below. If any of
these display modes are de- tected, the monitor automatically adjusts the picture size
and centering. When none of the mode is matched, the user can store their preferred
modes in the user modes. The monitor is capable of storing up to 7 user modes. The
only condition to store as a user mode is the new display information must have 1
KHz difference for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency or the sync
signal polarities are different from the default modes.
