Quick Access Settings

Enabled	Disabled

At the right end of the Diagnostics Status Bar, two toggle buttons give one-click access to connection preferences you would otherwise change from the Settings panel. Because they live in the always-visible status bar, you can see and change them without opening any panel.

Each button shows its state in place: a teal icon when the setting is on, and a dimmed icon and label when it is off. Hover over a button for a tooltip describing its current state, and left-click to toggle it. When the window is narrow the text labels collapse to icons to save space, but the buttons themselves always remain visible.

Reconnect

Reconnect toggles Auto-Reconnect. When it is on, VoidLoop ViewPoint™ automatically restores the last connected port when that device reappears. For example, after a firmware upload causes the board to re-enumerate. When it is off, you reconnect manually using the plug icon or the Connect button on the Settings panel.

This is the same preference as Auto-Reconnect on the Settings panel, changing it in either place updates the other.

Retain App-Side Configuration

Retain toggles whether your manual configuration and overrides are kept across connections. When it is on, the adjustments you have made in the app - including derived traces, trace statistics settings, labels, reference lines, and plot and trace overrides — are preserved when a new connection starts instead of resetting. When it is off, each new connection starts from a clean configuration.

Turn Retain on when you have tuned a view you want to keep between sessions or across firmware uploads, and turn it off when you would rather every connection start fresh.

Note

Retain applies to manual, app-side configuration. Settings that the firmware sends over the [viewpoint] protocol when a connection is established are still applied as usual, however, persisted app-side configuration may override the serial settings.
