Connecting a Digital FP as a multi-display to the PL3000 series
You can use a DVI-D/RGB splitter cable (type: CA7-CBLCVDVI-D/RGB-01) to connect two monitors. By
doing so, you can display the same screen or different information on both monitors. For each PL3000 series
type, when using a Digital DP display as a multi-display, the connection procedure depends on the type of
monitor.
• With the PL3000 series box type, when connecting a Digital FP as a monitor, you may need to
configure the FP dip switches depending on the display signal of the connected device and the
touch panel data communication cable. For details about configuring dip switches, refer to the
FP instruction manual.
Selecting a display function
Configure the Digital FP as a multi-display monitor and the display functions to be shown.
(1) Open [Control Panel] from the Start menu.
(2) Open [Display]. (In Windows XP, this is in the [Appearance and Themes] category.)
(3) In the Settings tab, click [Advanced].

(4) In the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Drive for Mobile tab, click [Graphics Properties].
(5) In the properties window that appears, select the menu to display using [Multi-display]

• Like the Twin type, this allows the same information to be displayed on two monitors, however,
display may differ according to the selected resolution.
Primary Device Secondary Device
• When using the TFT type or keypad type of the PL3000 series, if you use the Digital FP as a
dual clone monitor, use an RGB cable to connect the PL u nit and the monitor. The TFT type and
keypad type of the PL series can output only RGB signals. To perform touch control on the
screen while dual clone display is active, use an RS232C cable to connect the PL unit and the
monitor, as well. Establishing a connection using an RS232C cable enables touch control on the
screen.
• When using the PL3000 series, if you are using a Digital FP with front USB terminal as a dual
clone/twin display monitor, you must use a USB cable, an RGB and an RS232C cable to connect
the PL unit and monitor.
11
Extended desktop
You can divide one desktop to be displayed on two monitors.
Primary Device Secondary Device
• When using the TFT type or keypad type of the PL3000 series, if you use the Digital FP as a
monitor for an extended desktop, use an RGB cable to connect the PL unit and the monitor. The
TFT type and keypad type of the PL series can output only RGB signals. Touch control on the
screen cannot be performed while using the extended desktop function.
