1.  
Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the GDR 15L rugged TFT display.  
The GDR 15L range of products have been designed to provide the highest  
possible image quality, in a rugged housing that has specifically been  
manufactured to operate in environments that would normally be  
considered too harsh for normal computer equipment .  
What makes the GDR 15L different?  
The GDR 15L is a high quality, Ultra-Bright TFT LCD display with a resolution  
of 1024x768. Sleek yet solid, our GDR Series displays feature a two-piece  
cast aluminum shell with low-profile rubber buttons, designed to withstand  
the shock and vibration of industrial and vehicle use. The screen is crisp,  
flicker-free, and brilliant  
This well-thought out design is NEMA 12 dust and moisture resistant, with  
elastomer-sealed OSD geometry controls on the front panel for convenient  
screen image control. Locking power and signal connectors help prevent  
accidental disconnection.  
The GDR 15L has been rigorously tested to withstand severe shock and  
continual vibration and features a panel protected by 3mm toughened  
glass. Each display has a guaranteed 24-hour burn prior to shipping.

Unpacking  
Along with the GDR 15L rugged TFT, each box should contain the following:  
1. Universal AC/DC Power Supply  
2. 2-meter VGA Connector Cable  
3. 3-pin IEC Power Lead  
4. 9-pin Serial Connector Cable  
5. Touch Drivers CD-ROM (GDR 15L-TR touchscreen model)  
6. User’s Manual  
*
If any of these items are not included, please contact CyberResearch.  
In the unlikely event of product failure, please retain the original packaging  
so that the units may be safely returned to us for service.  
Important Note: Do not use any other power supply, other than the one  
shipped with the unit. This may cause irreparable damage to either the  
panel or the electronics, and will in all cases invalidate the warranty.  
.
It is recommended that the display be used only in conjunction with  
the VGA cable supplied. Deterioration in picture quality may occur if  
a poorly shielded cable, or a longer cable is used in its place.

Connection to the Computer  
GDR 15L Model  
Using the following simple instructions, the GDR 15L will be installed and  
configured within about five minutes.  
On the bottom of the GDR 15L, there are two ports—a 15-pin VGA port, and  
a power jack. One end of the VGA cable will already be connected to the  
VGA port when the unit is shipped.  
3.1 Turn off the computer.  
3.2 Attach the VGA cable to the video port on the PC and ensure that both  
thumbscrew connections are securely fastened.  
3.3 Insert the power jack on the power supply into the remaining circular  
port on the monitor, and connect the power supply to an outlet using  
the IEC power lead.  
3.4 Turn on the computer.  
3.5 Turn on the display.  
3.6 The display has not yet been configured, so the picture quality may  
not yet be optimized.  
GDR 15L-TR Touchscreen Model  
In addition to the above, the touchscreen model has an extra cable  
terminating in a 9-pin serial connector which connects to one of the PC’s  
serial ports.

Image Control and Adjustment  
There are two important steps in order to ensure that the best possible  
image quality is now obtained:  
4.1 Select the correct resolution and refresh rate.  
The GDR 15L is intended to run at a resolution of 1024x768 pixels.  
Although the unit can display in full screen mode at both 800x600  
and 640x480, we strongly recommend you now set the resolution  
to 1024x768.  
• Move the slider bar until the screen resolution is 1024x768.  
• Change the refresh rate to 60Hz  
• Set the number of colors to 16 million  
• Save settings before exiting.  
4.2 Run the On-Screen Auto Adjust Utility using the buttons on the front of  
the monitor:  
• Click the “Menu” Button once. The On-Screen Menu will now pop up and  
will already be highlighting the “Auto Adjust” option.  
• Click “Select.”  
• The display will now resize and reposition until an optimal image is  
achieved.  
• Wait five seconds and the On-Screen Controls will disappear.  
Important Note: The panel used in the GDR 15L can operate between  
a range of 60 and 75Hz. The best frequency will depend on the driver card  
in the PC. If at this stage there is any “noise” on the screen, we recommend  
the following:  
• Try increasing the refresh rate above 60Hz. Do not exceed 75Hz.  
• Fine-tune the Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness functions using  
the On-Screen Control.  
4.3 The GDR 15L is an extremely bright display, operating at 400 nits (400  
cd/m2). We strongly recommend that, unless the unit is used in very  
bright lighting conditions, the brightness be reduced to around 60 to  
70% using the On-Screen Control. This helps to eliminate any residual  
screen noise, and also will greatly prolong the backlight life of the  
panel.

4.4 Changing the screen resolution:  
The GDR 15L can operate in full screen at either SVGA (800x600) or VGA  
(640x480) .The unit cannot operate at any resolution higher than  
1024x768.  
In order to step down resolution, simply select the “Display” icon in  
the Control Panel, chose “Settings,” and move the slider bar to  
the desired position.  
Note: When changing resolutions it may be necessary to run the On-Screen  
Auto Adjust utility in the new resolution in order to maximize image  
quality.  
Whenever the display is being used at 800x600 the image quality will never  
be as crisp and clear as when it is operating at its preferred resolution of  
1024x768. This is particularly noticeable when viewing text, especially  
small fonts. This is a due to the monitor “doubling” some pixels in order  
to fill the screen and is completely normal.

Product Service  
Diagnosis and Debug  
CyberResearch, Inc. maintains technical support lines staffed by experienced  
Applications Engineers and Technicians. There is no charge to call and we will  
return your call promptly if it is received while our lines are busy. Most problems  
encountered with data acquisition products can be solved over the phone. Signal  
connections and programming are the two most common sources of difficulty.  
CyberResearch support personnel can help you solve these problems, especially  
if you are prepared for the call.  
To ensure your call’s overall success and expediency:  
1)  
2)  
Have the phone close to the PC so you can conveniently and quickly take  
action that the Applications Engineer might suggest.  
Be prepared to open your PC, remove boards, report back-switch or  
jumper settings, and possibly change settings before reinstalling the  
modules.  
3)  
Have a volt meter handy to take measurements of the signals you are  
trying to measure as well as the signals on the board, module, or power  
supply.  
4)  
5)  
Isolate problem areas that are not working as you expected.  
Have the source code to the program you are having trouble with available  
so that preceding and prerequisite modes can be referenced and  
discussed.  
6)  
Have the manual at hand. Also have the product’s utility disks and any  
other relevant disks nearby so programs and version numbers can be  
checked.  
Preparation will facilitate the diagnosis procedure, save you time, and avoid  
repeated calls. Here are a few preliminary actions you can take before you call  
which may solve some of the more common problems:  
1)  
2)  
Check the PC-bus power and any power supply signals.  
Check the voltage level of the signal between SIGNAL HIGH and SIGNAL  
LOW, or SIGNAL+ and SIGNAL– . It CANNOT exceed the full scale range  
of the board.  
3)  
Check the other boards in your PC or modules on the network for address  
and interrupt conflicts.  
4)  
Refer to the example programs as a baseline for comparing code.
