Title: Mach and multiple screens
Post by: matttargett4 on April 12, 2010, 02:09:05 AM

Hi all,

I was just wondering if i was to get a second monitor for my pc would it be possible to display the program run screen on one and the toolpath on the other so i can have a large toolpath display and still have control of the machine?? Im thinking touchscreen for the one that would do the controlling and just a monitor for the other one?? Any thoughts?

Dont think its possible to have two separate screensets/pages open but it should be possible to stretch the page over the two monitors. How good it would work I have no idea and afraid I dont have two monitors here at the moment to try. I think the problem would be that the buttons etc would be all out of proportion so you would really need to design your screenset as a double width one.
