-These settings allow the user to set up MPG through binary inputs behaviour. +These settings allow the user to set up the manual pulse generator behaviour. The following settings can be modified: 
 +  * Enabled/disabled toggle for each MPG 
 +  * Input ports number (2 ports needed for an MPG). 
 +  * Slot can be changed between MPG (to move the spindle around), THC/Z axis offset for manual control of the z-axis during torch height control, or Spindle Sync to synchronize the vertical z-axis movement and the rotation of the spindle.  
 +  * Encoder resolution: number of encoder markings per rotation * number of impulses per marking 
 + 
 +As the ET10 controller has dedicated input ports for manual pulse generators, it is not needed to specify 2 different ports but rather one dedicated encoder port number for an ET10 setup.

 +The screen settings allow the user to edit the appearance of myCNC software. The following settings can be edited:
 +  * **Language** can be switched by inputting the corresponding two-letter acronym (**en** for English, **ru** for Russian, **es** for Spanish, **pl** for Polish). More languages will be added to myCNC software in the near future, and if a native speaker desires to aid the localization process, the myCNC team will provide the user with the myCNC translation .xls file 
 +  * **Theme** can be switched by specifying the path to the folder containing all the images for a given theme. This folder should be located in opt/myCNC/art/buttons-no-theme.
 +  * **Buttons skin** field specifies the folder from which the icon frames are taken. This folder should be located in myCNC/art/buttons-no-theme/THEMENAME and the field is using the **rect** folder by default.
 +  * **Style** can be specified via a [name].style (x.style by default) file which can be found in .config/myCNC/profiles/PROFILENAME. Note that the stylesheet should only be changed when strictly necessary as it allows to edit the entire myCNC layout throughout the application. More information about the styling used in the x.style sheet can be found at the [[https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet.html|Qt Style Sheet Wiki]]
 +  * **Full screen** toggle to make the myCNC application full screen
 +  * **Maximize screen** toggle to make the application take up the full screen, with the window buttons (close/minimize) still present
 +  * **Fixed screen size** to give the window a pre-set size. Note: this does not work with the maximize/fullscreen modes.
 +  * **Hide Left Tabbar** to hide the older version of the navigation window (ON by default in all the newer 1366 profile versions)
 +  * **Hide cursor** allows the users with a touchscreen setup to hide the window cursor
 +  * **2D visualization: AutoScroll** is useful for large plasma machine configurations, where the user wants to take a closer look at the visualization of the cut with the window automatically following the cutting indicator. OFF by default.
 +  * **2D visualization: Unfold A axis** is used when pipe cutting files need to be unfolded (usually due to the specifics of the CAM program used when creating the original file). OFF by default.
 +  * **2D visualization: Rotate** rotates the file visualization 90 degrees off its original layout. OFF by default.
 +  * **Linear axes** can be displayed in mm or inches. This is done for visualization purposes, and does not impact the actual measurements of the original file.
 +  * **Rotary axes** can be displayed in degrees, radians or gradians. This is done for visualization purposes, and does not impact the actual measurements of the original file.
 +  * **MDI widget configuration** allows the user to edit the on-screen input field/keyboard. The following settings can be edited.
 +    * Width and length of the on-screen widget.
 +    * Virtual keyboard can be enabled or disabled 
 +    * The closing behaviour can be edited to close on Enter press
 +    * Widget position can either be chosen to be in a custom location, or centered.
 +  * **Pendant widget configuration** allows the user to edit the pendant widget (currently present on the 1280 profile series). The following settings are available:
 +    * Pendant view 
 +    * Widget size 
 +    * Buttons present in the widget (axes, jog buttons, +/- buttons, pendant step buttons)
