Window coordinates and size
To place an interface component on the screen, its position coordinates X and Y (1) and window size W and H (2) are to be specified:
where
- X and Y—coordinates of the upper left corner of the window along the horizontal X axis and vertical Y axis;
- W and H—width and height of the window.
You may also set the interface window position and size with a template box. To do this, click X (3). The Specify dimensions box appears. Drag and resize it on the screen where the interface window should be, then click OK. The X, Y, W, H fields are automatically filled with values according to the Specify dimensions box position and size.
The size of some components (Telemetry control panel, etc.) is fixed. In this case the corresponding fields are not shown.
Note
The Telemetry control panel can also be half-transparent (see The Settings panel of the Telemetry control panel object).
Moving a window and displaying on top of all windows
To enable the user to move the windows across the screen, set the Allow moving checkbox (4). Set the Over all windows to display the interface window always on top (5).
Selecting a physical monitor for display
When several monitors are connected to a computer, select from the Monitor drop-down list the identifier of monitor in the operating system, for displaying on which the object coordinates are set (6).
Monitors are numbered in physical order from left to right, top to bottom. So number 1 corresponds to the top left monitor, regardless of which monitor is considered primary or first in the operating system.
In the figure below, the monitor numbers in the operating system are gray, and Axxon PSIM monitors are red:
Consider this when choosing a physical monitor:
- If there is no monitor selection for an object in the settings, then by default it will be displayed on Monitor 2 (2 in Axxon PSIM numeration), that is, on the same monitor where the Axxon PSIM settings window is displayed. An exception is the Traffic Monitor object in Auto PSIM, which is displayed on Monitor 1.
- If there is no Monitor drop-down list on the object setting panel, you can adjust its position on non-primary monitor by specifying negative coordinates or coordinates greater than 100 depending on physical position of the monitor relative to the primary monitor. In this case it is strongly not recommended to set negative coordinates less than -200 (for example, -250, -300, etc.)
- If you change the monitor numbering in the operating system settings while Axxon PSIM is running, then the interface objects will be placed in accordance with the OS monitor numbers configured at that moment. Linking to monitors will become correct again after restarting Axxon PSIM.
Note
Axxon PSIM supports NVIDIA® Mosaic™ multi-display technology when NVIDIA Quadro Sync is used additionally with it (see the related NVIDIA documentation). Without NVIDIA Quadro Sync there can be ~10-200 ms discrepancies in video playback time between monitors.
Popup windows
Popup windows (Alarm notification window and Operator query panel) have no position settings. They are displayed on top of other windows and can be moved to any place on the screen using the mouse.
For more details about the position settings for each interface object, refer to corresponding sections of Configuration of interfaces section, as well as the description of The Interfaces tab.
