When your Leader system includes the optional second display option LPX500-EM - it acts as a display independent from the main unit. You can open instruments, save presets, define and save layouts and perform most tasks on the second display in the same way you would on the main unit. The main unit, however, provides the memory storage and processing for the whole system so that items you define or generate on the second display (for example, screenshots, presets, layouts, etc.) are saved to the main unit. Consequently, some features like the File Manager are available only on the main unit, which also includes the USB ports for the insertion of USB memory sticks.
Presets apply to both the main unit and the optional second display, if available. If you save a preset when the second display is connected and active, the saved preset includes configuration settings for both the main unit and second screen. Consequently, the same Presets toolbar is displayed on both the main unit and the second screen. This situation is different for the Layouts toolbar. This means that you see the same Presets toolbar on both the main unit and second display. Layouts, however, are specific to the main unit or second display so you will have different Layout toolbars on both displays. It is important to note that, as layouts are included when you save presets, different layout toolbars will be displayed when you load a preset.
The optional second display connects to the main unit by way of the dedicated USB type C v3.1 highspeed cable, supplied with the display. This ensures that the second display can draw its power from the main unit. Always locate the second display to the left-hand side of the main unit, when viewed from the front.
If you are planning to disconnect the second display and use only the main unit, always save a named preset of your current configuration before disconnecting. This will allow you to restore the windows you had open on the second screen when you return to using both together again. After disconnecting, reboot the main unit so that it can work in single display mode.
