Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor Configuration Guide

Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor

To determine your workstation or servers configuration, refer to the production code
data label typically found on the top of the workstation or server. See the applicable
User’s Guide shipped with your workstation or server to identify the type of equipment
you have.

Control Settings
The setup instructions provided in the sections that follow are applicable to multiple
monitor display models. Methods of adjusting the resolution vary depending on the
operating system or graphic adapter used.
NOTE: Some LCD monitors have built-in ambient light sensors on the front of the
display. To disable this feature use the front menu control buttons to select the
“AUTO BRIGHTNESS” selection and set it to “OFF”. Refer to the monitors user
manual for specific instructions.

Recommended Resolution
The table defines the recommended resolution for different monitor models. If the
video graphic adapter supports the recommended (native) resolution in its list of
supported resolutions, it should be used. In cases where the recommended resolution
is not available, use the setting closest to the ideal value. The monitor displays an
acceptable video image, but not at its highest clarity. Monitors work best when their
associated graphic adapters are set to the resolutions described in the table. Other
resolutions work but may not appear as crisp and clear on the display and may not fill
the screen.
See the applicable station User’s Guide for information on configuring video of
supported video cards.
Set the monitor’s resolution by doing one of the following:
• Using the graphics adapter interface, such as “Nvidia Control Panel” or “Matrox
PowerDesk”
• Using the systems “Control Panel”, “Display” features for adjusting the resolution

Guide Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor

NOTE:
It is inadvisable to disconnect the digital video cables from the NVIDIA graphics
card (or any other graphics card with a DisplayPort connection) during system
operations on a running system. Disconnecting the cable from either the computer
end or the monitor end will cause video resolution problems. The NVIDIA graphics
card will dynamically reset the driver configuration, resulting in a video frame
buffer size that exceeds the monitor resolution. Disconnecting the video cable on
a running system will have a negative effect on the operation of the H92
workstation, an H90 server, or a V91 server.
• Do not mix 23-inch touchscreen monitors with any other size monitors.
• The mixing of monitors with different aspect ratios is not supported.
• The following instructions assume that there are two active video sources on
the workstation. Software driver installation and activation instructions for a
second video head are not included in this document. Refer to the Hardware
and Software Specific Instructions document for your workstation or server
model.
• Digital video (DVI) cables cannot be greater than 9 m (29 ft) in length without
using Remote Graphic Units (RGUs) that can extend digital video up to 5km,
(3.1 miles) via a fiber optic link on selected processors.
• DisplayPort (DP) video cables cannot be greater than 3 m (10 ft) in length
without using Remote Graphics Unit (RGUs) that can extend digital video up
to 5km (3.1 miles) via a fiber optic link on selected processors.

Alleviating Image Persistence

LCD monitors may have the issue of image persistence - when a residual or “ghost”
image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD
monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed
for a long period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image
was displayed.
For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image
remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

Video Mode
Some of the newer models of LCD monitors may be operated in either an analog or
digital video mode; you must decide which mode to use. The mode selected affects
the type of video cable and the cable length between the workstation and the monitor.
LCD monitors are inherently digital devices. Analog input signals are converted to
digital signals within the monitor. Digital video signals give the best possible picture
because errors in the D/A conversion on the graphic adapter end and the A/D
conversion on the monitor end are eliminated as are signal reflections within the
cable. Because there is no analog transmission between the adapter and the monitor,
the noise and skew that the analog world is subject to is eliminated. Therefore, it is
suggested that you consider using the digital mode wherever possible.
Because of the high bandwidth required by digital signals, Foxboro supports only a
limited length of transmission distances for both DVI (9 m (29 ft)) and DisplayPort
cables (3 m (10 ft)). If video cable lengths of greater than these distances are needed,
there are two options. Analog VGA signals with passive analog cables may be used
up to 30 m (100 feet) or the Remote Graphic Units (RGUs) that will extend all of the
human interface devices, including digital video, up to 5km (3.1 miles) via a fiber optic
link on selected processors with Windows operating systems. This 30 m (100 ft)

8 B0700GD, Rev K

analog video connection will only operate when the Foxboro P/N RH924DF or
P0924DF 30 m (100 ft) VGA cable is used in conjunction with the Foxboro P/N
P0928DL DisplayPort to VGA adapter is used. The P0971DY 30 m (100 ft) analog
cable will not function correctly. If the 15 m (50 ft) analog cable is used, part numbers
must be RH924DE or P0924DE. The P0971DX cable will not function correctly.
The 23" monitors come with P0972KQ and P0972VR (or their equivalent). Either a
VGA or DVI Display Adapter is required unless explicitly specifying one of the
DisplayPort cables listed in DisplayPort Video Cables (DP).
The tables list the analog and digital cables available.

Choosing a Resolution
The instructions for setting resolutions differ depending on the model of the
workstation or server and the graphics adapter used.

Configuring Monitor
Refer to the hardware and software specific instructions document shipped with your
workstation or server for information on configuring video of supported video cards.
A monitors resolution can be set using these methods:
• Using the graphics adapter interface, such as “Nvidia Control Panel” or “Matrox
PowerDesk”
• Using the systems “Control Panel”, “Display” features for adjusting the resolution

B0700GD, Rev K 9
Monitors for Windows Workstations Installation and Configuration
Guide Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor

The hardware and software specific instructions detail procedures for video
configurations such as:
• Single head
• Dual head
• Quad head
The current Dual and Quad video Matrox RGUs support DisplayPort video output
connections only. The part number for the Dual Matrox RGU kit is RH103DX. The part
number for the Quad Matrox RGU kit is RH103EA. Neither the transmitter or receiver
are interchangeable with the old Matrox RGU assemblies. These units are supported
on H90 model server and H92 workstation.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL DATA LOSS
Do not change connectors/connections while the Matrox RGU transmitter and
receiver are powered on.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in data loss.

Connecting USB Touchscreen on Workstations, Servers,

and Thin Clients
The USB touchscreen connects to workstations, servers, and thin clients. To connect
the USB version of touchscreen monitor, the monitor video input must be connected to
the workstations or thin clients like a typical LCD monitor. Additionally, the monitor
must have the USB touchscreen controller output plugged into an available USB port
on the workstations, servers, and thin clients.

Guidelines for Setting Up USB Touchscreens

• Mixing different sizes of touchscreen monitors is NOT supported on a single
workstation, server, or thin client.
• Do not mix USB controllers with serial GCIO touchscreen controllers.
• Touchscreen installations are not supported on systems with multiple monitors
configured for spanning (also referred to as splitter systems) where multiple
monitors appear as a single monitor to the Windows operating system.
• USB touchscreens may require the use of the RH103BZ USB 1.1/2.0 Fiber
Extender kit, 30 m (100 ft) for Windows, 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz Universal Power
Supplies to reach the USB Touchscreen monitors.
• Verify the USB features of the workstation are enabled in the computer’s UEFI/
BIOS prior to the configuration and operation of the USB touchscreen. Some of
the workstations are shipped with the USB ports turned off by default.
• For information regarding turning on the USB ports in the system UEFI/BIOS, see
the applicable User’s Guide shipped with your workstation.

Installing and Configuring USB Touchscreen

Use the 3M™ touchscreen driver CD: K0177CG, for widescreen LCD monitors.
The appropriate media is enclosed with every USB touchscreen monitor.

Setting Up and Configuring Touchscreens

The calibration process aligns the touchscreen with the underlying video image.
Specifically, calibration defines the dimensions of the active area of the touchscreen. If
the screen is not calibrated, the active area of the touchscreen may not be aligned
properly. Once calibrated, the information is saved.
Therefore, you only need to recalibrate the touchscreen the first time you change to a
particular video resolution. Note that the TouchWare installation automatically sets 3-
point calibration.
The touchscreen is calibrated using the MicroTouch Control Panel, which is accessed
through Start > MicroTouch MT 7 > Control Panel.

Widescreen LCD Touchscreen Monitor Calibration Overview

When to Calibrate the Touchscreen
You should calibrate the touchscreen in these cases:
• The first time you change to a particular video resolution.
Your monitor's video card determines available resolutions.
• Any time you change the size of the video image by adjusting the horizontal and
vertical controls on your monitor.
• Any time you run the Stabilize Cursor function from the Cursor tab.
• Any time the cursor does not follow the movement of your finger, or does not
reach the edges of the touchscreen.

Calibrating Touchscreens
These notes pertain to touchscreen calibration for the widescreen LCD touchscreen
monitors:
• In multiple monitor touchscreen configurations, make sure the display resolution
is the same on all the touchscreen monitors prior to starting the calibration
process.
• In multiple touchscreen monitor configurations, calibration is required only on the
first touch screen monitor.
• If you press Escape or do not touch the screen within twenty seconds, the
system automatically cancels the calibration process with no change to the
current settings.
• When touching the calibration target, make sure you face the monitor directly,
perform the calibration in the position (sitting or standing) from which you expect
to normally use the touchscreen, and touch the calibration target firmly and
precisely with your fingertip. Be careful to keep your other fingers away from the
touchscreen as you touch the target.

Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor Configuration Guide

1. Access the MicroTouch Control Panel, select Start > MicroTouch MT 7 >
Control Panel.

2. Click on Calibrate. Calibration targets appear on the screen. A series of target

icons guide you through the calibration process.
3. Using your fingertip, touch down on the center of the target icons.
4. When three targets have been selected, a dialog box prompt appears for you to
test. Accept or Cancel the calibration attempt.
5. Select Test, and/or Accept or Cancel when satisfied with the calibration results.

Guide Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor

6. In multiple touchscreen monitor configurations, select the “Controller ID:” that

corresponds with the touchscreen being calibrated from the drop-down menu,
and repeat steps 2 through 5.

Multiple Monitors Overview

Multiple Monitors are identified using the MicroTouch MultiMonitor Manager. This
utility is accessed through Start > MicroTouch MT 7 > Control Panel.
Use this utility to identify monitors when you have more than one touchscreen on your
system. MicroTouch MT 7 can support up to four touchscreens. Also, you can include
a combination of touch monitors and standard (nontouch) monitors with your system.
NOTE: Do not mix USB controllers with serial GCIO touchscreen controllers.

Setting Up Multiple Touchscreens

MicroTouch MT 7 can support up to four touchscreens. You can also use a
combination of touch monitors and standard (non-touch) monitors with your system.
For example, you may have a total of four monitors, only two of which have
touchscreens.
You must install the hardware and software required to support multiple monitors
before installing MicroTouch MT 7. Also, if you set up for serial controllers, and
subsequently decide to change your multiple touchscreen configuration, you must
uninstall and reinstall MicroTouch MT 7.

18 B0700GD, Rev K
 Monitors for Windows Workstations Installation and
Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor Configuration Guide

Configuring Windows for Multiple Monitors

For dual-head or quad-head video cards, you configure the monitors first and then the
touchscreens.

Mapping Multiple Touchscreens

Once you install MicroTouch MT 7, you must map each touchscreen to a monitor
using the MultiMonitor Manager utility under Start > MicroTouch MT 7.

To associate or link a touchscreen to a particular monitor select that monitor and

simply touch the touchscreen.
Note that monitors will have colored frames that will match the touchscreen frames
once they have been linked.

Touch Settings Overview

Use the Touch Settings tab to customize the response of your touchscreen. You can
change the way the system responds to your touch, add a right-click tool to your
desktop, configure your system to beep on touch, and define the double-click speed
and area of your touch.

Touch Modes
The available Touch Mode options are Drawing, Touchdown, and Liftoff.

Mode Description
Drawing Mode (Default Drawing Mode is most useful for draw, paint, illustration, and graphics applications. In
Value) Drawing Mode, a touch is equivalent to pressing and holding down the mouse button.
This is considered the easiest mode to use with an immediate reaction to touch. Lifting
off is equivalent to releasing the mouse button.
• To click, touch the object. Lift off the touchscreen.
• To double-click; touch the object twice quickly at the same location.
• To drag, touch the object. Slide your finger to the new location. Lift off the
touchscreen.
Touchdown Mode Touchdown Mode enables you to create an immediate button action as soon as you
touch the touchscreen. In Touchdown Mode, you cause a button down at the cursor
location, with a short pause and then a button up. You can leave your finger on the
touchscreen but only a single touch is registered until you lift your finger off the
touchscreen and touch down again.
Touching the touchscreen is equivalent to pressing and releasing the mouse button.
The action occurs as soon as you touch the touchscreen. This mode is best for button-
based applications (like a calculator). Drawing or dragging is not supported in this
mode.
Liftoff Mode Liftoff Mode enables you to position the cursor where you want before creating a button
action. In Liftoff Mode, the cursor will follow your finger for a more accurate touch. When
you want to select an item, lifting your finger off the touchscreen will cause a button
down, short pause, and then a button up to occur.
Touching the touchscreen is equivalent to moving the mouse position. The button down/
button up action occurs when you remove your finger from the touchscreen. This mode
is useful for applications requiring greater accuracy because it lets you carefully position
the cursor before acting on it. Drawing or dragging is not supported in this mode.
Touch Sound Select audible beep on touchdown, liftoff, or no beep at all. Click on the Beep button to
select the appropriate option for your application. The default setting is no beep on
touch (Beep off).
Double-click Speed Double-click speed defines how quickly you must touch the touchscreen for the system
to interpret your actions as a double-click. Set the double-click speed in the slow to
medium range for optimum performance with a touchscreen.
Touch the globe twice to test the double-click speed and area settings. If the globe
begins to spin, the touchscreen recognized your touch as a double-click.
Double-click Area The “double-click area” defines the space in which you must touch the touchscreen for
the system to interpret your actions as a double-click. Set the double-click area in the
medium to high range for optimum performance with a touchscreen.
Touch the globe twice to test the double-click speed and area settings. If the globe
begins to spin, the touchscreen recognized your touch as a double-click.
NOTE: Changing the double-click speed or the double-click area setting will affect
the double-click setting of the mouse.
Edge Adjustment Tab Once you calibrate the touchscreen, the cursor should be located directly beneath your
finger when you touch the touchscreen. However, this may make it difficult to touch
items at the very edges of the touchscreen. The Edge Adjustment tab enables you to
define an offset area in which the cursor moves closer to the edges of the sensor so you
can easily and more precisely select small items, such as single words, the Windows
Start button, check boxes, or radio buttons.
For example, if you have a row of buttons along the left edge of your touchscreen, you
may want to set an edge adjustment to enable users to easily activate these buttons.

20 B0700GD, Rev K
 Monitors for Windows Workstations Installation and
Chapter 1: Setting Up the Monitor Configuration Guide

Mode Description
Because each edge is independent of the other, you only need to adjust the left margin
to accommodate this row of buttons.
Edge Adjustment To set the Edge Adjustment, move the sliders inward to define the offset area. These
Setting changes take effect immediately. Click Test to preview your choices. The area you have
defined appears as a colored area below. Within this colored area, the cursor will
automatically move ahead of your finger so you can more easily touch items closer to
the edge.
Determine if the area you have defined is sufficient for your needs. Can you touch into
the comers and along the edges of the touchscreen? Click Escape, End Test, or
Return to go back to the Edge Adjustment tab. If you are satisfied with the selections
you have made, you are done. If not, adjust the sliders to better accommodate your
needs.
Tools Tab The Tools tab enables you to perform a variety of diagnostics to optimize the
performance of your touchscreen. This tab is also the gateway to advanced touch
options.
Component Versions This is an informational screen for diagnostic purposes that details the building blocks of
MT 7 and its version numbers.
Draw Test
NOTE: You must be in Draw mode for this to work properly.
The Draw program lets you test the operation of the touchscreen and pen by checking
the accuracy and speed with which the system responds to your touch. To draw, simply
touch the touchscreen and drag your finger or pen.
These options will help you use the draw program more effectively:
• Press B (blank) to clear the screen and display a blank drawing canvas.
• Press G (grid) to clear the screen and display a grid that you can use as a drawing

Restore Factory The Reset Software option is useful if you have reconfigured the MT 7 software and
Settings Software need to get back to a working state. This option will restore supplier factory
configuration settings. If none exist, it will reset to the 3M Touch System defaults.
Controller The Restore Controller option is useful if you have reconfigured the controller and need
to get back to a working state. Pressing this button restores the 3M Touch System
factory-set system defaults.
If after restoring controller factory defaults, you lose touch, you will need to reboot in
order to restore touch.
NOTE: You must perform a calibration after restoring controller defaults.
Reset Controller Use this only at the direction of Global Customer Support. This command initializes the
hardware and the firmware, causes the controller to stop sending data, and recalculates
the environmental conditions (for example, stray and offset values). The Reset
command also cancels existing commands and returns the controller to normal
operation.
Advanced Touch
NOTE: Executing the Advanced Options may alter the performance of your
Options
touchscreen or render it inoperable. You should be aware of expected results before
executing any option. If you are not familiar with the outcome of these settings, you
should not be using these options.
This option controls certain advanced functions for your controller. Depending on the
options you have selected and the availability of that function for your given controller,
you can choose certain Advanced Options from this screen:
