Screen Editor

Display → Screen Editor

The Screen Editor is the primary layout tool. Each tab represents one screen (page) on the dash. Screens contain gauges positioned at specific coordinates on the display.

Working with Screens

  • Add Screen — create a new dash page.
  • Rename — double-click the tab name to edit.
  • Reorder — use the move-left and move-right buttons on each tab.
  • Export / Import — save individual screens as .edscreen files to share between configs.

Toggle Edit Statics to switch between dynamic screens (updated every frame) and static screens (rendered once for performance).

Adding Gauges

  1. Select a screen tab.
  2. Click Add Gauge and choose a gauge type.
  3. Position and size the gauge on the preview canvas.
  4. Configure properties in the panel on the right — channel assignment, colours, fonts, and type-specific settings.

Use the zoom slider to adjust the editor zoom level. The preview shows a live render when a device is connected.

Gauge Types

All gauge types are documented in the Gauges reference. Common choices:

GaugePurpose

DialRotating needle on an image
BarHorizontal or vertical fill indicator
TextStatic labels and titles
StatusText with coloured background per value
Layer GroupContainer that switches between sub-layers

Testing

Set Test Value on a gauge to preview how it looks with a specific channel value without needing live data. When connected, the preview updates with real channel values automatically.
