Connect an external monitor to a Windows 10 oscilloscope

Problem:

How do I connect an external monitor to a Windows 10 oscilloscope?

Solution:

The Windows 10 default is to treat any external monitor connected to a Windows 10 PC as the primary touch screen. On Windows 10 oscilloscopes with an external monitor attached, you will have to manually change the display settings so that the oscilloscope is recognized as a touch screen.

If the external monitor is touch screen enabled and you wish to use it along with the oscilloscope to control the oscilloscope application, you will need to repeat this procedure to also identify it as a touch screen.

  1. Follow manufacturer's instructions to connect your monitor to the oscilloscope.
  2. Choose File >Minimize to display the Windows Desktop.
  3. Choose Start and enter the Search term "Tablet PCSetup". You should see the Tablet PCSettings dialog.
