Layouts🔗

Layouts specify the arrangement and content of the subwindows that appear in the main display area of VCM Live. There are two basic elements of a layout:

  • Layout Pages (Tabs) - an individual layout can contain multiple pages, which are selected using the tabs just below the toolbar.

  • Subwindows - subwindows representing sensor data or groups of tunable parameters can be added to the layout and then moved, resized, and configured in multiple ways.

Note
