Live
Watch this device's channels as they arrive. Arrange them in tabs of panes, each pane holding one or more tiles.
| Region | Shows |
|---|---|
| Left | channels, and events when there can be any |
| Middle | tabs, each split into panes of tiles |
| Right | the details panel, when you open it |
Tabs
Press + (New tab) to add a tab. Double-click a tab, or press F2, to rename it. Drag a tab to reorder it.
Right-click a tab for the rest:
| Item | Does |
|---|---|
| Rename… | renames the tab |
| Duplicate tab | copies the tab and its panes |
| Open this tab by default | opens Live on this tab |
| Full screen | fills the window with this tab |
| Split right / Split down | splits the active pane |
| Reset this tab's layout | resets tile order and sizes in each pane; the tiles stay |
| Close | closes the tab (not offered on the only tab) |
Panes
Each pane header has the same buttons:
| Button | Does |
|---|---|
| Add a tile to this pane | opens the pane picker |
| Split right / Split down | adds an empty pane beside or below |
| Full screen this pane | fills the tab with this pane; Restore (Esc) brings it back |
| Close pane | removes the pane |
Drag a channel from the channel browser onto a pane. Drop it on an edge to Split left, Split right, Split up or Split down. Drop it in the middle to Add to this pane.
The pane picker
An empty pane asks What goes in this pane? Click it to search Search channels, cameras, tiles…. Chips narrow the list by kind: Channels, Cameras, Derived, 3D, Map, Saved tiles. Only kinds this device has appear. The list shows eight rows; type more to narrow it.
Tiles
A tile's Send to menu moves it:
- Split right or Split down — into a new pane
- Solo in this pane — hide the pane's other tiles
- Move to tab — another tab, or New tab…
The toolbar on the right of the tab row:
| Control | Does |
|---|---|
| Place a mark on the last 10 s | marks the last 10 seconds (M) |
| Freeze tiles | stops redrawing; Resume live updates restarts |
| Show channel browser | opens the channel list on the left |
| Show details | opens the details panel (i) |
| Live display settings | Tile up to N channels; above that, only pinned channels and media get tiles |
The details panel
Press i or Show details. Then click a tile, a mark or a log line. The panel shows each channel on the tile with its value, its marks, Find in channels and Copy path. Opening the panel narrows the panes; a click alone never opens it.
Full screen on a rig display
Right-click the tab and choose Full screen. On macOS, press ⌃⌘F. The tab fills the screen with no toolbar. Press Esc to exit.
Layouts belong to the project
Tabs, panes and tiles are saved with the active project. Switch project and Live
shows that project's arrangement. Use phloem layout get live to read one and
phloem layout put live to set it from a file.
Removing a tile leaves its pane behind, empty. Click it to pick something else, or Close pane.
