The layout defines the number and location of windows on the monitor. To change the location of windows on the monitor, drag them with the mouse. The operator can compose custom window layouts if he (she) is given permissions to control the Monitor object.

To control the layout, use menu, called up by the Screens button on the video monitor tools panel.

 

Note.

The layouts can also be managed using the Display manager - see Configuring and activating the layouts.

Creating and deleting layouts

To develop a new layout:

  1. Click the Screens button on the video monitor.
  2. Select the Add option in the menu.
  3. Enter the name of the new layout in a dialog box.

Then a new layout will appear in the layout list.

To select a layout, click its name in the list. To delete an existing layout, use the Delete menu command.

Note.

If the Overlay 1 mode is chosen during the system setup, and the monitor displays six surveillance windows, the surveillance windows layout cannot be changed.

Changing the location of windows on the monitor with mouse can also be prohibited by the DisableReplaceCam registry key – see Registry keys reference guide.

The Add and Delete functions may not be available depending on the permissions (see Limiting access to the system objects administration, control and viewing functions).

Default layouts

The Screens menu also allows assigning default layouts. The default layout will be displayed when Axxon PSIM is launched. Use the UseDefaultLayoutOnlyAtStartup registry key to display the default layout each time the corresponding screen with the Video surveillance monitor is displayed (see Registry Keys Reference Guide).

Select Screens - Set by default, then select a layout to be set by default.

The default layout is highlighted in bold.
