Allow multiple instances

When Allow multiple instances is turned on, each launch of the Multi Channel software will open a new instance. Any command line parameter is used in that instance. When Allow multiple instances is turned off (default), the first launch will start the Multi Channel software. While this instance of the Multi Channel software is running, any next launch will result in the command line parameters being passed to it and executed there. Several command line options work best when Allow multiple instances is turned off.

Toolbar icon size

The size of the icons on the main toolbar and the quick functions toolbar can be changed to predefined as well as user defined values.

When using a touch screen, increasing the icon size will make it easier to click tool buttons.

Append command line

When Append command line is turned on, the commands entered in the edit field will be executed when the Multi Channel software is started. All command line parameters can be used here.

This feature can be used for example to load your preferred default setting at start-up, or to set the window size or position to a default value. The file open button Open button can be used to select a TPS setting file to be loaded when the Multi Channel software is started.

Show object tree

The selection Show object tree toggles the visibility of the object tree in the main window.
