Chapter 1: Introduction

Product Description

Your new touchmonitor combines the reliable performance of Elo Touch Solutions touch products with the latest developments in touch technology and display design. This combination of features creates a natural flow of information between a user and the touchmonitor.

This widescreen touchmonitor incorporates a 24-bit color, active matrix thin-film-transistor LCD panel to provide high quality display performance. Its LED backlight significantly reduces power consumption and eliminates mercury (compared to CCFL-backlit panels). Other features that enhance this LCD monitor's performance are Plug & Play compatibility, on-screen display (OSD) controls, and an optional magnetic strip reader (MSR).

For the 17 inch touchmonitor, a threaded three-hole mounting pattern for M4 screws is provided on the bottom of stand base for mounting or securing.

Chapter 4: Operation

Power

To turn the touchmonitor on or off, press the touchmonitor power button once.

The Power Status LED on the bottom of the touchmonitor functions according to the following table:

TouchMonitor/Computer Module status LED status
OFF	OFF
SLEEP	PULSING
ON	ON

The system consumes low power when in SLEEP and OFF modes. For detailed power consumption specifications, refer to technical specifications on the Elo website http://www.elotouch.com

Touching the screen will bring the attached host PC out of SLEEP mode (similar to moving the mouse or pressing a keyboard key).

To improve reliability and reduce wasteful power consumption, disconnect the power adapter when long periods of disuse are planned.

Touch

Your touchmonitor is factory-calibrated and should not need manual calibration (unless the input video is not fully scaled to the native resolution, or the touch experience needs to be calibrated to a specific user).

Video

A display's native resolution is its width and height measured in number of pixels. Generally, for best performance, an image displayed on this monitor will look best when your computer's output resolution matches this monitor's native resolution, which is 1024 x 768 for the 15 inch, and 1280 x 1024 for the 17 inch.

For computer output resolutions at non-native resolutions, the monitor will scale the video to its panel's native resolution. This involves stretching or compressing the input image as needed in the X- and Y-dimensions to fit the display's native resolution. An unavoidable byproduct of the scaling algorithms is a loss of fidelity when the computer's output video image is scaled by the monitor to fit the display. This loss of fidelity is most apparent when viewing feature-rich images at close distances (for example images containing small-font text).

Your touchmonitor will likely not require video adjustments. However, for analog VGA video, variations in video graphic card outputs may require user adjustments through the OSD to optimize the quality of the touchmonitor's displayed image. These adjustments are "remembered" by the touchmonitor. Also, to reduce the need for adjustments for different video mode timings, the monitor correctly scales and displays some of the video industry's most common video timing modes. Refer to the technical specifications for this monitor at http://www.elotouch.com for a list of these Preset Video Modes.

On-Screen Display (OSD)

Four OSD buttons are on the bottom of the monitor. These can be used to adjust various display parameters.

MENU

SELECT

The buttons and their functionality are:

Button	Function when OSD is not displayed:	Function when OSD is displayed:
Menu	Display OSD main menu Return to previous OSD menu
	Display OSD Brightness submenu	Increase value of selected parameter / select previous menu item
	Display OSD Contrast submenu	Decrease value of selected parameter / select next menu item
Select	Auto Adjust	Select parameter for adjustment / select submenu to enter

Using the OSD buttons controls an on-screen graphical user interface which displays on top of your input video, allowing intuitive adjustment of the following display parameters:

Parameter	Available Adjustment
Brightness	Increase/decrease monitor brightness.Default: maximum
Contrast	Increase/decrease monitor contrast.Default: best gray-shade performance
Clock	Allows fine adjustments of the panel's pixel dot clock.
Phase	Allows fine adjustments of the panel's pixel dot clock phase.
Auto Adjust	Automatically adjusts the system clock to the input analog VGA video signal, affecting the H-position, V-position, Clock, and Phase menu items.
H-position	Moves the image horizontally on the display in single-pixel increments.Default: centered.
V-position	Moves the image vertically on the display in single-pixel increments.Default: centered.
Aspect Ratio	Switches the scaling method between Full Scaling and Maintain Aspect Ratio.Default: Full ScalingFull Scaling – scales the X- and Y-dimensions of the input video (up or down as needed) to the display's native resolution.Fill To Aspect Ratio – Assuming a landscape orientation and an input video with aspect ratio smaller than 1024 x 768 for the 15 inch or 1280 x 1024 for the 17 inch, scales the Y-dimension of the input video (up or down as needed) to the display's Y-resolution, and scales the X-dimension to maintain the input video's aspect ratio (and fills the rest of the display with equal black bars on the left and right).The touchscreen may need recalibration when switching between Aspect Ratio options.
Sharpness	Adjusts sharpness of the displayed images.Default: no sharpness adjustmentOnly applicable at non-native input video resolutions
Color Temperature	Selects the display's color temperature. The available color temperatures are 9300K, 7500K, 6500K, 5500K, and User Defined. If the User Defined option is selected, the user can change the color temperature by changing individual R, G, and B gains on a scale from 0 to 100.Default: User Defined with R, G, and B all set to 100.
OSD Timeout	Adjusts how long a period of OSD button inactivity the touchmonitor will wait before closing the OSD. The adjustable range is between 5 and 60 seconds.Default: 15 seconds
OSD Language	Selects which language the OSD information is displayed in. The available languages are: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.Default: English.
Recall Defaults	Selecting “Recall Defaults” restores all factory default settings for OSD-adjustable parameters (except OSD Language) and for Preset Video Mode timings.

All touchmonitor adjustments made through the OSD are automatically memorized as soon as they are entered. This feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time the touchmonitor is unplugged or powered off and on. If there is a power failure, the touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.
