# 8) Customizing screen display

Your instrument allows you to fully customize the display of the flight screens according to your preferences.

You can configure up to **5 different screens**, with the data, sizes, fonts, and units of your choice.

***

#### **Creating a screen configuration**

1. Go to the following page:\
   <http://www.syride.com/en/ssctool/>
2. Configure your screens by selecting the data to display, their size, font, and units.

Simply drag and drop the desired elements onto the flight screens.

You can also, if you wish:

* enable or disable magnetic alignment of elements to make positioning easier,
* define a **“Thermal”** screen and/or a **“Glide”** screen.

When these screens are defined, the instrument will automatically switch screens in flight depending on your flight phase (thermal or glide).

3. Download the configuration file to your computer or your phone.

#### **Transferring the configuration to the instrument**

4. Launch the **Syride Link** application on your computer or mobile device.
5. Connect your instrument via USB or Bluetooth.
6. Click on **“Send a file”**, then select the configuration file you downloaded.

The new configuration is immediately applied to the instrument.

#### **Default configuration and backup**

* restore the default configuration by clicking on\
  \&#xNAN;**“Edit default configuration directly”** or\

* edit a configuration file saved on your computer,
* view and use another pilot’s screen configuration from their profile page, in the **“Screen config”** section.

⚠️ **Important note:** It is possible to retrieve the instrument’s screen configuration for editing using the **Syride Link** software on a computer or phone by using the **“Retrieve a file”** button.
