View Layouts
View → Layout and View → Window Count
Each EmStream window is a set of panes. Choose how many panes the window has, then choose what each pane shows.
Window layout
| Layout | Panes |
|---|---|
| Single | One pane |
| Vertical Split | Two panes side by side |
| Horizontal Split | Two panes, one above the other |
| Three Panels | One pane on the left, two stacked on the right |
| Four Panels | A two-by-two grid |
Drag a divider to resize panes. Divider positions are remembered.
Pane type
Hover the bottom-left corner of a pane and pick a type:
| Type | Shows |
|---|---|
| Grid | Numerical channel cells — see Data Grid |
| Plots | Scrolling time plots — see Live Plots |
| Track | Live GPS position — see Track Map |
| Gauges | Free-form gauges — see Gauges |
Each pane keeps its own type. A vertical split can show the track map beside a data grid, or plots above gauges, without a separate combined layout.
Several windows
View → Window Count opens 1 to 4 EmStream windows. Each window has its own layout and pane types. All windows share the same telemetry connection.
Broadcast mode
View → Broadcast Mode (or F11) fills the screen and hides the menu bar and the live-data drawer. Use it for a pit-wall display. Press Esc to leave broadcast mode. The window and drawer return to how they were.
Track files
Track outlines are set from the View menu and apply to Track panes:
| Item | File |
|---|---|
| Set Track File | .geojson track outline |
| Set GPX File | .gpx waypoints or a route |
| Connect Waypoints | Draw lines between GPX waypoints |
Loading a GeoJSON file clears a GPX file, and loading a GPX file clears the GeoJSON. See Track Map.
