- I originally posted some questions regarding the independent use of two
- monitors on the same computer. The idea behind this is:
- - to run a data acquisition program under Windows 3.1 using the colour VGA
- monitor.
- - to run a separate program (to be written in Turbo C++, Turbo Pacsal 6.0, or
- Turbo Pascal for Windows) to display a small moving object on a different
- monitor, but connected to the same computer.
- - a person watching the second monitor, following the object with their eyes,
- has their pupil positions recorded by some A/D board, controlled by the
- acquisition software seen on this first monitor.
- - it would be nice if the second monitor was also VGA, to avoid ghosting from
- the moving object.
-
-
- I have further questions...
- - Is there a particular type/make of video card which will permit using two
- (VGA) monitors independently?
- - Are there any other companies which sell these sorts of products?
- - What are their postal or phone, fax contact details so I can get in touch
- with them?
- - Has anyone out there done this sort of thing before?
-
-
- I will post solutions once I have gathered sufficient information.
-
- Thanks,
- Mike Miles.
