Latest Tip

Commissioning often requires simultaneous visibili Commissioning often requires simultaneous visibility of logic, status bits, and diagnostics.

If the editor area is compressed, engineers rely on scrolling instead of observation. This increases the chance of overlooking conditions or transitions.

By floating diagnostics and collapsing unused panels, the logic regains priority on screen. The information that matters most becomes immediately visible.

The result is not just comfort. It is reduced cognitive load and faster, safer decision-making during live system work.
