Abstract :
Using a microcontroller improves the utilization and performance of this monitor which copes with any CRT adaptor card, recognizes the video mode, and sets all picture parameters defined by the user. The monitor must be able to adapt itself to different signal sources from various types and also work with a wide range of screen resolutions. Many solutions already exist which adapt each stage of the monitor independently. The author describes a central control system which measures signal parameters and sets up all stages of the monitor at the same time. The microcontroller and its connection with all stages is the real nerve center of the monitor.<>
