This screen allow the mass control of banners. Selected banners are in bright red, unselected are in faded green. Selecting several banners at once allows them all to be dragged at the same rate, they will all end up in the same position on screen; e.g. dragging the 4 in this view will allow you to position all the banners at a certain percentage deployment. To mass control to specific drops in metres, use the switch view button. No changes will happen to the real banners until the “go” button is pressed. This stops the banners from acting like a yo-yo. Buttons in general will need a short “press and hold” to prevent accidental presses.
