How to Display More Than Three Property Windows in VisiSat

[Product_Support]

Issue

By default, VisiSat only allows up to three property windows to be open simultaneously. This limitation can hinder productivity when programming complex controllers.

Product Line

Satchwell MicroNet

Environment

• VisiSat
• MN50 Series controllers

Cause

The limitation is defined in the project’s configuration file (settings.ini). The default setting restricts the number of property windows to three.

Resolution

To increase the number of property windows:

1. Locate the settings.ini file in your project directory.

2. Open the file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad).

3. Find the line:

   Number of Property Forms=3
   

4. Change it to:

   Number of Property Forms=9
   

   You can adjust the number to suit your workflow, up to the maximum supported by your system.

5. Save the file and restart VisiSat for the changes to take effect.
