Altium Instrument Dashboard - How it Works
Frozen Content
Similar to Altium Designer's Devices view, the Altium Instrument Dashboard is enabled by ensuring its Live option is enabled – right-click on the system tray icon for the Dashboard to access the menu containing this and other commands.
Once live, it essentially 'scans' the Soft Devices JTAG chain for any virtual instruments that it supports and displays them accordingly on the desktop.
The Devices view in Altium Designer and the Dashboard can not be enabled in Live mode simultaneously. Should you have Altium Designer installed on the same PC as the Dashboard, disable the Live mode in the Devices view prior to enabling the Dashboard.
