Windows Display Settings (XP)

The Windows dialog for configuring the display settings can be started through the desktop context menu or through the control panel. The resolution, color depth, position and so on for all the display devices can be set here. The settings for the CP-Link 3 display devices are also made through this dialog.

Changing display settings under Windows 7

Starting with Windows 7 changes to the display settings of CP-Link 3 - Extended Desktop Devices are to be done through the Setup Dialog (see also the Configuration interface section - Setup).

The display device is selected by clicking on the corresponding monitor symbol, and this can be seen from the border. The settings for the selected display device can now be modified in the lower part of this dialog.

Setting special resolutions

Resolutions of less than 800 x 600 pixels are not catered for under Windows as standard, and are therefore only possible indirectly. Setting a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is shown here as an example:
