Running a Front Panel on a Monitor

You can run any non-Pocket application on a 3 wide by 2 tall monitor connected via a wired modem or directly touching a computer. You must first scale the display, then run the startup application.

> monitor scale <name> 0.5
> monitor <name> startup

For example, to run the Supervisor on a monitor touching it's left side, you would run the commands below. If you connect via a wired modem, the name will be something like monitor_X.

> monitor scale left 0.5
> monitor left startup

The output will then show on the monitor. You can click on the monitor the same way you would on a front panel, and the display will also do its best to scale to this larger output.
