Hi,

I’m very happy with my QA403 but there is (in my setup) one issue:

![IMG_8732](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/quantasylum/original/2X/5/529dee8afe2722ea3df893a433eb21edd5b90317.jpeg)

I’m working on a laptop with a 15" screen. The measuring windows size is ok, but I have to scroll down every time I want to start the generator f. e.

Would it be possible to get the control elements on the left side smaller for full visibility of all elements at once?

Perhaps a future ability?

Greetings

Christian

Hi @cfortner, you can press the 1 key to toggle the sine generator, and do control+1 to bring up a direct entry keypad for sines. You can also press and drag with the mouse to scroll the control area.

The next version of software, which is still a ways off, has a much denser control region, and a lot of the buttons will move to overlay controls on the display. So, control groups such as cursors and display move to the display, and other groups get squeezed a fair bit so it’s all there on a 1080 display.

What is your best estimate on the release of that version of the software with a more condensed UI, including overlays.  
Try to be accurate now, lol.  
And what would that version number look like?  
Will it be significantly different numerically so that I can easily identify it?

Hi @CESAUDIOPRO, it will have the version number of 2.0. I don’t know at this point when it will be ready. Not any time soon. By that I mean at least \>6 months away.
