Connections
A touchmonitor requires three basic connections.
Power Connection
This provides power for the monitor and touchscreen. There are two basic types: an AC cord and a DC power supply. Some monitors have one or the other, some monitors have both.
If both are provided, choose only one.
Video Connection
This provides the “picture” on the display. There are two basic types: VGA or DVI. Some monitors have one or the
other, some monitors have both.
If both are provided, choose only one.
NOTE: The blue VGA connector has three rows of pins; it is a video connector, not a serial connector.
Touch Connection
This provides a connection for the touch part of the monitor. There are two basic types: USB and serial. Some monitors have one or the other, some monitors have both.
If both are provided, choose only one.
If both cables are connected, the touch function will not work!
NOTE: The blue-green serial connector looks similar to the blue VGA connector, but it has only 2 rows of pins
Speaker Connection (Optional)
This provides a connection for computer audio to be played through the monitor speakers. Some touchmonitors do not include speakers.
