Frequently Asked Questions - 1825L ELO

How do I connect the touchmonitor to my computer?

Connect the video cable (15-pin VGA or DVI-D) from the monitor to your computer's video port. Connect the serial or USB touchscreen cable from the monitor to your computer. If using speakers, connect the speaker cable (light blue to monitor, lime to PC). Finally, connect the power cable (via the brick power supply) to a grounded outlet. Ensure all cables are routed through the cable management channel.

What is the native resolution of this monitor and why is it important?

The native resolution is 1280 x 1024 (SXGA). The LCD panel performs best at this resolution, providing the sharpest image. Using a lower resolution will cause scaling and may reduce image quality. For optimal performance, set your computer's display output to 1280 x 1024.

My touchscreen is not responding. What should I check?

First, ensure the touchscreen cable (serial or USB) is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the correct driver is installed (see page 14-18 of the manual). If using serial, check COM port settings. For USB, ensure the device is recognized in Device Manager. Also confirm that the touch interface is enabled in the OSD menu (if applicable).

How should I clean the touchscreen?

Use a standard window or glass cleaner applied to a soft cloth (never directly on the screen). Wipe gently. For the cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent. Avoid alcohol, acetone, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air. Do not allow liquids to enter the monitor.

Can I mount this monitor on a wall or an adjustable arm?

Yes, the monitor has a VESA mounting interface (75x75mm and 100x100mm) located behind the stand. Remove the stand by following the steps in the manual (page 13). You can then attach a VESA-compatible mount. The base also has keyholes for slide-on mounting or can be bolted to a surface.

How do I install the touch driver for Windows?

Insert the included CD-ROM. If AutoStart is active, the setup program will run. For Windows 2000/XP, use the 'Add New Hardware Wizard' and browse to the \EloUSB directory on the CD. For serial touch, run EloCd.exe from the CD and follow screen prompts. You may need administrator rights. For MS-DOS/Windows 3.1, use the INSTALL command from the DOS directory.

How do I use the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu?

Press the MENU button on the side bezel to open the OSD. Use the + and - buttons to navigate and adjust brightness, contrast, color, position, and other settings. Press SELECT to confirm. The OSD includes auto adjustment, language selection, and speaker controls. Press MENU again to exit.

What should I do if the screen display shows 'Out of Range'?

This indicates the computer's resolution or refresh rate exceeds the monitor's capabilities. Reduce the resolution to 1280 x 1024 or lower and set the refresh rate to 60-75Hz. Refer to the compatible video modes table in Appendix C of the manual.

What is the warranty coverage for the Elo 1825L touchmonitor?

Elo provides a 3-year warranty on the monitor, 10 years on the IntelliTouch touchscreen, 5 years on the AccuTouch touchscreen, and 5 years on the controller. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. To claim, contact Elo within 30 days of discovery and return the product at your expense.

Can I lock the OSD or power buttons to prevent accidental changes?

Yes. To lock/unlock the OSD, press and hold the MENU and + buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. To lock/unlock the power button, press and hold MENU and the - button for 2 seconds. The default is enabled.

You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Elo DOS and Windows Driver Guide as necessary for additional installation information.

To run the INSTALL program:

1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver install files.
2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may use its defaults. INSTALL creates directories as necessary, and warns you if they exist.

If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs are upward compatible. For a list of differences from each previous version of the drivers, be sure to select "Differences from Previous Versions" during the installation process.

INSTALL updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select. INSTALL makes a copy of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, called AUTOEXEC.OLD. If you already have Elo driver commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.

When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdirectory you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.

If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

To install Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must use the "update driver" method; you will not find a setup.exe file within the download.

About Touchmonitor Adjustments

Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output and application may require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.

For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x 1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.

Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further information, please refer to Appendix A.

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.

Using the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menus

All adjustments are made by using the on-screen display (OSD) menus. All menu items can be selected by using the buttons on the side bezel.

NATIVE RESOLUTION

The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the SXGA-18.1 inch size. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.

Input Video 18.1" LCD

640x480 (VGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024

800x600 (SVGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024

1024x768 (XGA) Transforms input format to 1280x1024

1280x1024 (SXGA) Displays in Native Resolution

The native resolution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in the LCD by the number of pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is usually represented by the following symbols:

VGA	640x480
SVGA	800x600
XGA	1024x768
SXGA	1280x1024
UXGA	1600x1200

As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels. As an example, the pixel in column 45 and row 26 of the input video is in column 45 and row 26 of the LCD. For the case when the input video is at a lower resolution than the native resolution of the LCD, the direct correspondence between the video pixels and the LCD pixels is lost. The LCD controller can compute the correspondence between video pixels and LCD pixels using algorithms contained on its controller. The accuracy of the algorithms determines the fidelity of conversion of video pixels to LCD pixels. Poor fidelity conversion can result in artifacts in the LCD displayed image such as varying width characters.

TOUCHMONITOR SAFETY
