Settings: General

Settings → General sets how the bench looks and sounds, and how readings are taken. Changes apply straight away, the running session included.

Setting	What it does
Mute the beeps	Turns off every beep. Each sound keeps its visual twin. M on the session screen does the same.
Beep volume	Quiet, Normal or Loud. Set it to carry over an extractor fan.
Bench mode	Raises every control to 56 pixels for gloved hands, and enlarges the step so it reads from a metre away.
Theme	Dark (the bench default), Light, or System to follow the computer.
Text size	Default, Large or Larger. Scales the whole window, the step card and the readings included.
Auto-capture	On, a steady reading takes itself. Off, it waits for the pedal, Space or Capture, so walking a row of pins never advances the step by itself.
Hold	How long the meter must agree before a reading is taken: 0.6, 1.2 or 2 seconds. Longer suits a slow range or a meter that settles slowly.
Tolerance	How much the reading may wander and still count as steady: Tight (0.2 %), Normal (0.5 %) or Loose (2 %). Loose suits a handheld meter with a bouncing last digit.
