OPERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Most likely there will 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 native resolution, that is 1024 x
768 at 60k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1024 x 768 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further information, please
refer toAppendixA.
All control adjustments 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 detected,
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.
