A total view is obtained by touching the button "showAll", the transmitters transmitting data for a given ensemble when selecting the ensemble name, and similarly for the channel.

The selector for the "staying time" is moved, from the configuration window to the scan handler window (which obviously makes more sense), furthermore the smallest (the...
