The editor is a single screen. It is worth walking it top to bottom once. At the very top, the title Oryx Signal Studio with a badge beside it saying which mode you are working in: Digital or Analog. Below it the controls, split into two rows. First row. On the left: the menu, the name of the open project, the Device button and the undo / redo arrows. On the right: Protocol, the step number and label controls, and the theme switch. Second row, centered: Steps, Zoom, Channels and Reset. Here is what each one does.
Start a blank project.
Open a project saved in your account.
Save the project to your account.
Save a copy under another name.

Changes mode. The label and the icon show where you are going.
Next to the menu is the name of the open project, with a short notice —Saved, Opened— that fades on its own.

​
Device

Opens the window to connect the ESP32 generator over USB. See Connect the device.

​
Undo / Redo

Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y. Disabled in view mode.

​
Protocol

Picks how the cells are read: None, UART, CAN, I2C or Modbus. The button shows the active one. Digital mode only. See Protocols.

​
Step numbers and labels

A group of controls: The middle controls change with the mode: Fit and Values appear in analog, and in their place digital shows the count divider and the numbering settings.
While a protocol is active, its reading takes the place of the step numbers: the button says so and is disabled.

​
Steps

Steps: [−] [16] [+] [🔒] The − and + buttons remove and add one step; holding them down keeps going. The middle field takes the number directly. The padlock locks the step count: with it closed you cannot delete or insert steps, or unfold templates.

​
Zoom

[Fit] [−] [px per step] [+] Fit brings the whole signal onto the screen. The middle field is the pixels per step. The + and − buttons always move by the same proportion, so the zoom feels the same up close as far away.

​
Theme

Light / dark switch. Picking one by hand turns off following the browser theme.

​
Channels

Opens the channel organizer, and shows how many you have out of the maximum. See Channels.

​
Reset

Clears every signal.

​
Channel name column

To the left of the timeline, one card per channel with:
  • The name, editable in place.
  • The signal color.
  • The grid subdivision (÷n), with arrows to raise and lower it.
  • The offset in steps.
  • With a protocol active, the status box: how many frames there are, whether they are all fine and, expanding it, the full reading.

​
Timeline

The center of the screen. It draws 4 channels at a time; with more, the page arrows appear. Hidden channels that fall between two visible ones are marked with a dashed line and their name. This is where you click, drag, select stretches and place points.

​
Channel actions column

On the right, each channel’s gear opens its menu: At the bottom of the column, Add Channel.

​
Toolbar

At the foot of the screen. It acts on the selection: And on the sides: the view mode switch, the shortcut help (? or H) and the Settings gear. The G key opens the export window directly. In analog mode the bar changes: the Point / Step selector appears, along with the three X Axis, Y Axis and Radius controls. See Analog editing.
