Overview

Selecting this menu item pops up a window which allows you to manage how MeshTV windows are displayed on the Powerwall.

Powerwall window

The Powerwall window should look similar to Powerwall window when it pops up. The layout and mapping may be different if you have saved custom settings.

The Powerwall window allows you to manage how MeshTV windows are displayed on the Powerwall. Note that the Powerwall window has hints associated with it. If hints are disabled, they can be enabled in the Preferences window. Hints are displayed by moving the pointer over an area of interest.

If you don't see a description for an item in this window, check in the Shared items section near the front of the chapter.

Powerwall on

Toggle this button to turn the Powerwall on or off. If you are running on a machine that is not capable of using the Powerwall, then toggling this button has no effect.

Powerwall replot

Toggle this button to ensure that plots are redisplayed when the Powerwall layout changes. If this button is toggled on, the Powerwall will redisplay plots when the layout changes. This ignores MeshTV window to Powerwall canvas mapping. If this button is not toggled, only the active MeshTV window will be displayed when the Powerwall layout changes.

Layout area

The Layout area is depicted in Powerwall layouts .

The layout area contains pictures of different Powerwall layouts. Clicking on a layout picture selects a Powerwall layout and updates the Powerwall window.

Mapping

The mapping area of the Powerwall window contains features needed to map MeshTV windows to Powerwall canvases.

Token

Tokens are shown in Tokens .

A token is a small label that represents either a MeshTV window or the Powerwall active canvas. A Powerwall canvas is a region on the actual Powerwall. Use the middle mouse button to drag a token to an appopriate drop site. Tokens numbered from 1 to 16 represent MeshTV windows. The red "A" token represents the Powerwall active canvas. Mapping the "A" token sets the Powerwall active canvas and causes all subsequent updates of MeshTV windows to be echoed to that canvas. Unmapping the "A" token causes updates of MeshTV windows to be echoed to the Powerwall canvases to which the MeshTV windows are mapped. All unmapped tokens numbered from 1 to 16 are implicitly mapped to Powerwall canvas one.

Token tray

The token tray is an area in the Powerwall window that contains unmapped tokens.

Mapping area

The mapping area is a picture of the Powerwall with the selected layout and token mapping. Depending on the layout, the mapping area is divided into one or more regions that correspond to Powerwall canvases. Use the middle mouse button to drag tokens from the token tray or other Powerwall canvases into the mapping area. Doing so maps a MeshTV window to a Powerwall canvas. Note that each Powerwall layout has its own mapping of MeshTV windows to Powerwall canvases.

Unmap all button

Press this button to unmap all MeshTV windows for the current Powerwall layout. After this button is pressed, any tokens in the mapping area are sent back to the token tray to indicate that they are unmapped. The tokens can then be remapped by dragging them onto the mapping area with the middle mouse button.
