Dual VFOs

Flex 6600M. Latest release Log4OM. OmniRig 1.19.
How do I show both VFOs side by side? In Log4OM's display the top left correctly shows the output of VFO 1 or 2 as selected. However how do I enable Log4OM to show VFO 1 on the left side and VFO 2 on the right side of the display box?

You need to use Hamlib and Slicemaster

Sorry to ask what is probably a very basic question...at least to those experienced with these apps. How do I use Hamlib and Slicemaster with the Flex? I have downloaded Hamlib from Github but I'm not even sure how to install and set it up. Will it happily coexist with Omnirig? I already have Slicemaster up and running. If there are any setup instructions they would be very useful.
Thanks!

Hamlib is included in Log4om
See the slicemaster user guide 're TCP connection for CAT

Can you elaborate a bit? I've tried both the hamlib/slicemaster combination and omnirig (rigs 1 & 2) and have yet to get both displays simultaneously as shown in the Log4OM user manual with my Flex 6600. I can select either rig 1 or 2 to display on the left side, but nothing appears on the right display.

We dont show an image of Log4OM with both VFO's displayed when using a Flexradio, see page 196 >>>> of our user guide.
Log4OM follows the active receiver Rig 1/2 only when using slicemaster and Hamlib,
not Omnirig. as far as I recal the display of both VFO's is only when using a SunSDR which has TCI or some of the more recent physical radios which provide that facility.
I can only refer you to our user guide and the slicemaster user guide for detailed instructions because I do not own a Flexradio, however you might like to contact your fellow countryman Dale Southard - AE6DS who wrote the instructions in our user guide for further information.

Thank you for the clarification. FWIW, I was using page 23 as a guide.

Solution: when setting up hamlib, check the "CHECK VFO MODE" checkbox. Now when running split, both VFOs are shown.
