Using Multiple Data Viewer Windows

You can open multiple windows outside of the main browser window containing data viewers set to different views and different sets of pinned outputs. This lets you more easily monitor or set up complex applications, for example placing one or more data viewer window in one computer monitor, and others in a different monitor.

Main view in original browser window showing surface data and a defined section, and a second window showing a Profile tool running on the section. The Model page is selected in the Main view to show where the section is defined on the surface data.

External data viewer windows provide the same functions as the Main View data viewer via the toolbar above the viewer (except for the ability to open a new window). External windows also include a Displayed Outputs panel at the bottom and support the pinning of outputs; pinning in external windows is independent from the Main View data viewer and other external windows. For more information on pinning outputs, see Pinning Measurements and Features.

To open a new external data viewer window:

1.

In the toolbar of the Main View data viewer, click the New Data Viewer button ().

A new window opens containing a separate data viewer.

Use the tool bar at the top of the new data viewer to choose and modify the view (Surface vs. section data, color heightmap vs. intensity, 2D vs. 3D, etc.). For more information, see Data Viewer.

Pin outputs to the new data viewer as in the Main View data viewer. For more information, see Pinning Measurements and Features. Any outputs pinned in the Main View when you open a new data viewer window appear already pinned in the new window, but pinning in data viewers is otherwise independent.
