Before you start setting up a multi-monitor solution, you must take
the following requirements and considerations into account:
Hardware setup
Up to 9 screens
can be set up
The screens must
be placed in a rectangular setup
The
screens must have the same screen resolution (but the system designer's station
can run another resolution)
Make
sure that the hardware is properly set up (refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for further details)
IGSS setup
Remember that you're
typically configuring for both multi screen and single screen OP stations.
So you have to test on both types.
Remember to take
all diagram and graph windows into consideration. For example, if you're
configuring for four screens and forget to resize a full-screen diagram,
it will take up all four screens.
The diagram and
graph windows that you place in the screen grid must belong to the same
area. The screen grid shows the screen boundaries. The grid shows the
screen setup as defined in the Multi-Screen
Setup dialog box.
A typical scenario
would be to place the Alarm program on one of the screens. To
do this, you will define one screen less than the total number of screens
in the Definition
program. This is because Alarm is a separate program and it is only
possible to place diagram and graph windows in the screen grid.
It is recommended
that the configuration machine has a resolution that it is equal to or
higher than the resolution on the OP stations.
