See also Dual Monitors.

If you are using a laptop, you’ll already have ports for an external monitor (and perhaps a digital external monitor) if it is anything made in the last 10 years. If you are using a desktop, you may need to add a video card, most of which have dual monitor outputs.

Once you have the second monitor attached (may need to install a driver for it) and turned on, you’ll need to right-click on some blank area on your desktop and choose Properties from the dropdown menu and select the Settings tab. You should see both monitors represented. Click the second one and choose “Extend Windows Desktop”. You may have monitor management software installed, in which case you can change these settings in that instead of in Windows.

Now the second monitor should show your Windows desktop. If you are using a game, you may slide the game to the second monitor. If you are using video or dvd for feedback, they may also be slid across to the second monitor. This leaves one screen open to view the training screen and one screen for feedback.

If you happen to be using BioExplorer, open a design, choose the Instruments menu, then click Detach. A second BioExplorer should appear on your Start bar, and the window you detached will add a small Instruments menu in the upper left corner. You can now drag this window off the screen (usually to the left, but not necessarily), and you’ll see it appearing on the second monitor. When you finish, you may wish to drag it back onto the main monitor. You can go to the Instruments menu in the detached window and choose Attach, and you are back where you started.
