E7D - selecting the active pane - Mark maulden - 07-27-16 01:32 PM
My system:
E7D
HD color radar
SPX-5 pilot
AIS 650
When in split screen of chart and radar, how do you switch to one or the other being active using only buttons and knobs. No touch screen. My instructions say there is a sub menu called cycle app. I dont have such. When i hold menu button it goes back to home and exits split screen. Disp ver 16.47

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mark,
Unlike the larger e-Series MFDS, the 7" e-Series MFDs do not feature a button / command sequence to support switching while the MFD's Touch Lock feature is OFF. Should the MFD's Touch Lock feature be configured to ON, then the menus of split screen pages will include a CYCLE APP menu item. Should the MFD's Touch Lock feature be configured OFF, then the active app selected via a brief touch to the pane in which the operator desires to interact.

What happens when the touchscreen is not working and I have to resort to knobs? This happens frequently. If i read this right, then Im outta luck changing active panes? I was the impression that everything could be done by knobs and buttons..

Mark,
Not so ... should the Touch Lock feature be configured to ON, then the menus of split screen pages will include a CYCLE APP menu item. Correspondingly, should your MFD's touch screen not be functioning correctly, then configure the Touch Lock ON and use the MFD's buttons to control it. As such workarounds are not always always convenient, the better solution may be to have the MFD serviced to address the problems which you have identified with its touchscreen and controls.
