Compatible External Monitors

NOTE The original 85101C display/processor incorporated a cathode ray tube (CRT).

The current design incorporates a liquid crystal display (LCD). Refer to the

NOTE on page 2-9 for more information on determining the type of display.

Monitors for Models with a CRT Display

The 8510C with a CRT installed is designed to work with monitors that have these four

specifications:

• Horizontal scan rate of 25.5 kHz must be supported.

• Vertical scan rate of 60 Hz must be supported.

• The monitor must accept separate RGB signals.

• The monitor must accept RGB signals at .7 volts.

Multisync monitors commonly meet all these requirements. The monitor can have one of

two sync inputs (composite sync or separate H, V sync), and positive and negative sync is

supported.

Some older monitors that may be available (resale) that can be run with the 8510C are

listed below.

The HP 35741B monitor is compatible. However, this monitor has no sync connections as

such. Sync pulses are superimposed on the green video signal. The 8510C cannot drive

dedicated-format monitors such as CGA, EGA, VGA, or SVGA.

Monitors for Models Equipped with an LCD

The 8510C with an LCD installed is designed to work with VGA compatible monitors.

There is a new VGA cable from the motherboard to the GSP board and a VGA connector on

the back panel for direct connection to VGA compatible monitors.
