| How to find which line is which in a VGA cord? |
| (1/1) |

Heres the deal. I got a arcadeVGA card from ultimarc on one side and a monitor on the other. The VGAcard has a 15 pin out put and my monitor has a 9 pin input. I have a list of what pin is what for both, BUT! PROBLEM: I want to buy my self a 15 pin VGA cord and cut it and wire on a 9 pin plug on the end but I dont know how to identify which line is which when I cut it apart. I have a multi meter. Is there a way to use it to find what line is which pin? :dizzy: :banghead: |

Use the continuity or diode setting. (with audible beep if you have it) Touch the two leads together and you should get something like .000 (beep) Hold one lead on a single cut wire and touch each pin on the the other end until you find it. |
