Re: Expanding The Dashboard on 2 Screens? +Mecanum question

Using two monitors on one computer, you may simply be able to run in developer mode and grow the dashboard window to the size you want spanning two monitors. This may result in having the video on the left and the tabbed area on the right which can show custom, basic, or variables.

If you wish to have video in another window, I'd probably build a simple subVI.
Move the vision display to it, set it to fill the window, and connect the indicator to the connector pane as an input.
Set the VI Properties of the subVI to Open when Called.
Then drop this new subVI into the vision loop and pass the image to the subVI instead of to the terminal of the original display.

As additional cleanup, you may want to modify the original dashboard code to get rid of image display references and simplify or delete the resize code that was assuming a screen split.
