Flexible screen layout
TC TouchMonitor TM7 & TM9 also features a number of highly innovative and very flexible features that will not only make your life easier, but also help you achieve ultimate end results. For example, you can configure the large color screen to meet any need imaginable. You could create a screen layout letting the Radar Meter fill out the left (or right) side of the screen, while the remaining space could be used for other instruments such as a Phase Meter or a Surround Sound Analyzer. In other words, you can tailor the screen layout in order to optimize it for any type of application.
TC TouchMonitor's flexible screen layout lets you configure your TouchMonitor to your specific needs.
