Editing Modes
There are three modes used for editing the interface: workspace, windowed, and full screen.
Workspace mode is the preferred mode to begin editing. It provides access to settings through the
menu bar, page navigation through a list of thumbnails, and the ability to monitor operations using
the log window. You can add items to any page and, because of the controller’s powerful “Live
mode,” you can test everything as you build the interface.
Switch between workspace and full screen mode at any time by pressing F11 on the keyboard.
You can also test Windowed mode from the Control Panel or Window menu.
Workspace mode
Workspace mode allows you to see all tool windows and interact with the interface on one screen.
You can also change the number of physical screens that will be available. For example, if you
plan on using the ShowTouch software on a PC with multiple monitors, you could create an
interface that makes use of all of the monitors by increasing the number of screens. This option is
available on the menu bar by selecting “Touch”->”Screens”.
Windowed mode
Windowed mode allows you to edit and run the interface without using the entire screen. All of
the individual tool windows can be positioned independently.
This mode is most useful when using a PC for multiple purposes while still having the ability to
monitor and control your equipment.
