CHAPTER 4: USER INTERFACE REFERENCE

Compass Tab

The Compass pages provides access to configuration options that adjust various behaviors and functionality of the Compass user interface. These options are split across two sub-pages: one that deals mainly with user interface and startup options, and another that controls the behavior of channel and Galileo control value linking.
