Is there any tutorial available for Instruments Panel use?

Post by Laurent » Fri 5. Jun 2015, 10:27

Hi everybody,
I purchased Pcan explorer 5 a few month ago with Instrument Panel Plug-in. It was quite useful to find tutorials for Explorer 5 on Youtube for a newbie like me, but nothing on Instrument panel! And I cannot find any tutorial on your website or in the help menu. Do you have something available?
Thanks for your support!

Hello Laurent,

Unfortunately there isn't any video tutorial for the Instruments Panel available yet. We're planning to create one, but this will not happen right away.

For now, I would suggest that you open a new panel by clicking on any instrument in the toolbar.
  • You can assign a signal to an instrument by dragging it from the Project Browser on the right onto the new instrument (existing project including symbol definitions provided).
  • Take a look at all the properties of the instrument and play with them in the corresponding window on the right side (usually below the Project Browser).
  • Don't forget to switch the Instruments Panel to Run mode (via context menu of the panel) for testing.
  • While in the Instruments Panel, press the F1 key to open the help. There you will get further information.
Hope that these few hints help you for a first start.

Kind regards
Mark

Hi, the PE5 is replaced by the PE6 in 2016 Videos / Tutorials are here available.
There is no Tutorial for the User Panel made, this AddIn have a excelent Online Help and is more or less self explaining.
