Alphacool do however have an English page for the external / desktop model of the screen giving these details:
"SOFTWARE ALPHA LCD No Software CD is available for the moment. From today, the first public Beta version from ALPHA-LCD can be downloaded. The long expected Software is programmed especially for our displays, can be auto-installed and has a basically improved driver model. Just see for yourself! The downloadable Software enables it to display System information, like Temperature or Memory use, and also the possibility to show graphics. With the help of a simple Script file you can display external data (i.e) Winamp or Mainboard-Monitor (MBM5) results. The possibilities are unending! The Software is available in more languages and very handy for all users due to its intuitive Drag&Drop module. Examples for use: Displaying system temps, CPU, CPU-load, Networking Stats, Memory use, Winamp Titles, News-Feeds (i.e. BBC-World), Game Stats, Email details,... etc,etc. * The compatibility to LCD-Hype was highly improved by a new Script."
