[Otii 3.7] Real-time channel monitoring without starting a recording in Otii

When you’re bringing up hardware or running validation, you usually just want to check a few signals live to make sure everything is working. Starting a full recording session can feel unnecessary, and the default monitor displays all channels, even if you only need a few.

With Custom Monitor in Otii 3.7, you can set up a live view that shows only the channels you care about for your current validations. Here’s how to use it:

  1. To open Custom Monitor, click the monitor icon in the top right of the Otii Desktop App. You can also press Ctrl-M on Windows and Ubuntu, or ⌘-M on macOS.
  2. Go to the Custom tab and pick just the channels you need for your current validation.
  3. Read your signals in real time. An immediate live view of what your hardware is doing right now.
  4. If you have more than one Otii instrument, you can combine channels from each one into a single view.

It’s the same tool you already use for power measurements, now with a built-in configurable multimeter mode.
