Parameters can also be added / removed from screens using the OziExplorerCE Settings Manager. The units for the default screens supplied with the software are mostly set to use the units configured in OziExplorerCE Configuration / Units. If you want a parameter to be displayed in a different unit, use the Screen Designer to do this.

The list below shows many of the available parameters which can be added. (see below  for full description)

Buttons
