¼ Note: Serial connection will support very long cable runs provided a good quality cable
designed for serial data is used.
USB connection
Connection using USB is straighforward, as regular o-the-shelf cables may be used, which
are available in various lengths (generally up to 5 m). The monitor end must be tted with
a USB type B male plug. The opposite end should suit the device being controlled, which
typically will use the common USB type A male plug.
¼ Note: Where USB is used, cable length should not exceed 5 m when using regular cables.
Lengths over 5 m may be possible with the use of a USB cable tted with active boosting.
¼ Note: Do not connect both serial and USB to the same video source.
¼ Note: Ensure any third party video source connected to the MO has an isolated USB
connection to avoid potential damage due to incorrect installation, or failure elsewhere in the
system.
¼ Note: The preferred method of connection is via serial cable, only serial touch can be
congured to work for a specic video input. USB touch is output regardless of video input
selection, which can lead to false touches when viewing a dierent video source..
