Increasing the Monitor Resolution
The default resolution of the external VGA monitor or LCD display is equal to the resolution of the
analyzer's display (800 by 600 pixels). A higher resolution leaves additional space on the external monitor.
The Intel Graphics Control Panel, a software utility which is pre-installed on your analyzer, helps you
perform the following tasks.
 Connecting and activating the monitor (Windows XP / Windows 7)
 Changing the monitor resolution (Windows XP / Windows 7)
 Switching back to the analyzer's display (Windows XP)
Using the Windows 7 Screen Resolution dialog (not recommended!)
The Windows 7 Screen Resolution dialog lists the following display devices:
1. Digital Flat Panel (800x600 60Hz)
2. Display device on: DVI
3. Display device on: VGA (if an external monitor is connected)
The first one is an internal connector on the FMR11 CPU board that can neither be used nor deactivated.
The second one is the internal display.
The display settings should only be changed from the Intel Graphics Control Panel. Do not use the
Windows Screen Resolution dialog for this purpose.
For instruments running Windows 7 do not use the hotkey CTRL + ALT+ F8 to reset the display
configuration as this will disable both the external monitor and the internal display!
In case the internal display was disabled accidentally, use Windows + P to call the (invisible) Windows
display switching utility, click TAB and then ENTER. Repeat this until the internal display is enabled again.
Connecting and Activating the Monitor (Windows XP)
Under Windows XP the monitor must be connected while the analyzer is switched off or in standby mode.
An external keyboard and a mouse is recommended.
1. Connect a monitor or LCD display to the analog VGA connector (labeled MONITOR) at the rear
panel.
2. Switch on the monitor or LCD display.
3. Switch on the instrument.
4. When the instrument is running, press CTRL + ALT+ F12 on your external keyboard to start the
Intel Graphics Controller Properties dialog and select the Devices tab.
Alternatives for starting the Graphics Controller
If the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + F12 does not work, try one of the following:
 Open the Windows control panel and select “Intel Graphics Technology”.
