In Axxon Next, you can create several separate viewing tiles for display on additional physical monitors that are connected to a server or client. The number of separate tiles is equal to the number of connected physical monitors.

If the system has more than one monitor connected, the monitor configuration panel is available on the Layouts tab. 

To create and configure a tile on an additional monitor:

  1. Click on the monitor configuration panel. Thumbnails of the connected monitors appear.


    The thumbnails may appear differently, depending on the status of the monitors in Axxon Next.

    ThumbnailMonitor status
    Main monitor
    Unassigned additional monitor

    Inactive additional monitor

    Active additional monitor

  2. To activate an unassigned additional monitor in Axxon Next, click its thumbnail. The additional monitor becomes active and the layout of the main monitor is duplicated to it.

  3. Configure the layout of the additional monitor. You can configure the layout of the additional monitor through the main monitor (the additional monitor must be active). Changes affect only the additional monitor; the layout of the main monitor is not changed.

  4. Click the thumbnail of the main monitor. The additional monitor becomes inactive and the original layout is displayed on the main monitor. If the additional monitor becomes inactive, editing of the layout does not affect it.

Creation and configuration of the additional monitor is now complete.

Later editing of the layout on the additional monitor is performed as follows:

  1. Activate the additional monitor (by clicking its thumbnail).
  2. Edit the layout.
  3. Make the additional monitor inactive.

The main monitors and additional monitors are minimized independently of each other. To close an additional monitor in Axxon Next, on its thumbnail, click the  button.
