Default Question for g2x users

I downloaded the software to try it out versus some of the other data loggers out there and I can't find a way to make it fit the resolution of my computer. I've tried every resolution setting and followed the directions that they provide, but I just can't see the lower part of the screen (track map area). Anyone out there had this problem and found a fix?

Thanks,
Sean

Whats the resolution of your screen? I use it on my laptop and it's fine but the screen is high res, 1600x1200.

1024x768 on my laptop, but when I use 1600x1200 on my monitor/docking station it still doesn't work. I guess 1024x768 is too low res...bummer

It doesn't scale or scroll, so on a small screen I've had to resize/shrink the top two panes (buttons and graph) and get by with that.

You need at least 1280x1024 - 1600 is even better. For looking at data at the track - my 1024/768 laptop wasn't of much use.

For those followng this, here is what Tim from g2x got back to me with:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you able to move the size of each screen segment up and down? By that, I mean placing the cursor on the line dividing the graph area from the trackmap runlog area, left clicking and while holding down,drag the screen upwards? You can also drag the top of the graph area downward. At 1600 x 1200 you should be able to see everything in detail. Also, double check your Settings / Preferences commands and look at the slider position for Channel Size and Runlog Font size.

The ability to pre-program the screen to resize to a particular PC is also available. If you select the Organize Panes icon on the left (the 7th down from the top) it will cycle through the re-set screen sizes. This sizes can be set by the user using the Settings / Screen Sequence Size in the main menu area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to give this a try later today.
