Modular Displays

Type Display devices

Function Data display

Modular displays are most commonly used in spaceship cockpits as information screens and they are considered vital for easy ship management. Progress bars are generally configured to show progress from 0 to 100, whereas text panels are generally used to show text. They can however be used to display whatever information needed.

Basic information

All modular displays need to be connected to a data network and a power source in order for them to work.

• Modular displays are designed for displaying information.
• The displayable content is set to the PanelValue field.
• They can be connected to the panel base directly or via another modular device by snapping them together.
  • Modular devices are: Displays, hybrid buttons and the audio signal device mark 1.
• YOLOL can be used to display information, but it is not necessary.

Progress bar memory

Many progress bars can be stacked inside a socket allowing for large amounts of data field storage in a small space. An example .fbe can be found here.

Device fields

Progress bars

YOLOL field	description	default
PanelValue	The value to display on the progress bar
PanelMinValue	The value at or below which the progress bar will appear empty	0
PaneMaxValue	The range at or over which the progress bar will appear full(PanelMaxValue-PanelMinValue=TrueMaxValue)	100
PanelVariableResolution	The smallest increment the number and progress bar will reflect, written out as a power of 10 (i.e. 0.01 will display two decimal places)	1

Text Panel

YOLOL field	description	default
PanelValue	The value to display on the text panel
PanelVariableResolution	The smallest increment the number and text panel will reflect, written out as a power of 10 (i.e. 0.01 will display two decimal places)	1
