Hello,
I've been using the MXP dataport "dualmon" command from an AMX control to change the monitor configuration. This has the same effect as going in and changing the "general/screen settings/dual monitor" settings (on or off) in the menu.
There is another setting which I am interested in changing which is found in the menus at "general/screen settings/video output/vga output mode" setting (main or dual). The documentation for the "vgaout" command mentions a "vgamon" command but it is not documented.
Is there a dataport API command to change the "vga output mode" between main and dual?
Thank-you,
Donald Newman

Hi Donald,
It's documented, but not as 'vgamon'. This is how it can be configured:
-------
VirtualMonitor: <1..4>
Defines the connections between the DVI outputs and the Virtual Monitors (see above).
6000 MXP: DVI output 1 shows by default Virtual Monitor 1 (Main Monitor), while DVI output 2 shows by default Virtual Monitor 2 (Second Monitor).
3000 MXP: DVI output 1 shows by default Virtual Monitor 2 (Second Monitor).
To have DVI output 2 to also show Virtual Monitor 1:
Example: xconfiguration video outputs dvi 1 virtualmonitor: 1
---------
For the full explanation of these commands please have a look at the TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS.
Best regards
Roger
