Digital Tigers SideCar MMS Series manual ƒ “Monitor #3” refers to the lower-number SideCar monitor

You should see an icon-based representation of three or four monitors, each with a number. The “1” monitor is your notebook LCD display. The “grayed out” monitors are inactive monitors

ƒIf you see a total of four or six monitors, the #2 monitor is typically (but not always) a secondary monitor supported by your notebook’s secondary monitor port (typically available only under Windows XP). In this case, the higher- number monitors are the monitors controlled by the SideCar. In typical examples:

ƒSideCar PlusTwo MMS: monitors #3 and #4 are the SideCar monitors

ƒSideCar PlusFour MMS: monitors #3 - #6 are the SideCar monitors

You should verify the monitor numbering by clicking on the displays and reading the caption in the “Display” field.

ƒIf you see a total of three or five monitors, the higher-number monitors are the monitors controlled by the SideCar.

ƒSideCar PlusTwo MMS: monitors #2 and #3 are the SideCar monitors

ƒSideCar PlusFour MMS: monitors #2 - #5 are the SideCar monitors

You should verify this by clicking on the display icons and reading the caption in the “Display” field.

ƒIf you see only one or two monitors, the SideCar has not been fully recognized by your notebook computer. In this event, reboot your computer and return to these steps. If you still see only one or two monitors, reinstall drivers (previous chapter) and try again. If you still see only one or two monitors, review the troubleshooting steps in this documentation and contact Digital Tigers support if necessary.

Most SideCar PlusFour MMS users using Windows XP will see six monitors in Display Properties, with the SideCar displays #3, #4, #5 and #6. We will use this configuration in the remainder of this chapter when explaining configuration settings. For other users:
